testimonials
Interior Design provides us the opportunity to work with a variety of clients whose diverse lifestyles provide an endless source of inspiration.
Regardless of the size of the project, the attention to detail remains the same.
Here is what some of our previous clients have said about working with us:
“Robin is a very talented artist and designer. I have know her for 40 years and she did an amazing job on our entire downstairs with fabulous wallpapers and paint choices. Many are still up and their designs are classics. Thanks Robin.“

“This is our second renovation project with Robin and working with her is always a pleasure. She was always sensitive to our vision and the experience and unparalleled skills she brought to the table helped to steer the project in the right direction and aid in the decision-making process.
Additionally, her ability to source unique pieces within our budget and lead a team of contractors was impressive and she is always available to answer questions throughout both projects.
We couldn’t be happier with the end results.
Anyone considering working with Robin should have absolutely no hesitations.”
Mike Stefiuk
“Robin is so easy to work with and her recommendations are spot on. I love my new space. I had a total kitchen and total bathroom redo. Such a change and I'm so happy. Jerome is also amazing. I had never remodeled before and was afraid of the process but I'm so glad I did it and Robin made it better than I thought it could be. Thank you so much Robin and Jerome!”
Pat Briggs
“Robin is great. She helped us design a multi-functional living space in our new home. She gracefully navigated working with our existing pieces and our strong opinions. We love the way the dining and living spaces turned out. I strongly recommend Robin for all interior design needs.”
Nicholas Clayton
“I can't say enough nice things about Robin. She has helped us with 4 rooms and 3 full bathrooms in our home and there is more I plan to do with her in the future. She has made me appreciate good design, my home not only looks great but it functions beautifully. Robin is patient, listens and works collaboratively with you. She has a wonderful eye for design and you know she really thinks about you and your space before she gives your recommendations. I also can't say enough good things about her wonderful team. Carrie is always a joy to work with. Jerome is not just a contractor but a craftsman. And at times she has even pulled in her wonderful husband Rick to help! But the best thing about Robin is she will stick with you on a project until you are happy. I have dealt with other designers and contractors and they often take the path of least resistance and not what is best for you. But let me save my best compliment for last, my husband is a cheap accountant who hates to spend money and he completely trusts Robin and loves the rooms she has designed for us, his favorite being his bourbon drinking room. Thank you Robin for making my house a beautiful home!”

“It is my pleasure to recommend you to our good friends, Robin, as we know you will not only satisfy their needs, but surprise them in a good way, as your go the extra mile in their behalf.
You seem to be able to read and please the different style of different people. You are a true professional!”
Judy Columbus, Realtor
“Your creativity and attention to detail is largely responsible for this beautiful environment. You were a true pleasure to work with.”
Cyndi Weis, Breathe, Yoga Studio & Retail Store
“The bath you designed that recently appeared in K+BB magazine is outstanding! From the Art Deco inspired design in the shower to the decorative trim around the room, each detail is so well conceived and executed. It is not often we feel compelled to write congratulatory notes. But; Kudo’s to you.”
Barbara Sallick, Founder: Waterworks
”I could not have had my new house that I love without the significant assistance of Robin. She was invaluable in what seemed like millions of decisions. Particularly (but not only) on lighting, she helped make order out of what seemed randomness. She offered fresh perspective from that of the electrical fixture company’s lighting designer we were working with, not in a confusing or conflicting style, but with a cooperative one. Her focus on the “big picture’ of the entire house was very useful. I also found that anyone who knew or had worked with Robin spoke highly of her professionalism and talent. Don’t know how I could have done it without you!”
Mary Ellen Burris, Home-Owner, Vice President, Consumer Affairs, Wegmans
“I have had the pleasure of working with Robin on a number of occasions, and I will happily continue to do so. Robin not only is a very talented and well respected designer here in Rochester, but working with her it’s just beautiful to see how her creativity can be spawned so quickly, and so applicable to our spaces and parameters, and it’s always tailored to me because she actually listens and cares. She is very professional, thoughtful and intelligent designer and a very sweet and caring person, and it makes working with her something I look forward to doing. The finished product speaks for itself and I couldn’t be happier.”
Derek Pino, Design & Sales Consultant, Concept II Inc.
“I want to thank you for all your time, effort, expertise & hard work on this project. The kitchen is a pleasure to work in & spend time in. I think everyone who has visited us is impressed.
A friend told me he’s calling you to help with lighting in his kitchen. I know you agonized over many details and I want you to know that we’re very happy with how things turned out.”
Krista Reed, Home-Owner
“It was well worth the extra time and money spent to do it right. You will be amazed at how perfect it is. The inside of our home looks fantastic and we love being here every day! Thank you so much!”
Anne Ruflin, Home-Owner, Executive Director of Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY
“Robin is an accomplished interior designer with an expertise, educational qualifications and proficiency in interior lighting design.”
Heinrich W. Fischer, Landscape Architect & Exterior Lighting Designer
“Well, you did FANTASTIC lighting in my living room. You are definitely gifted in this Robin – along with everything else!”
Bethany Baller, Home-Owner, Multimedia Account Executive, Democrat & Chronicle
“Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Artist Retreat Room you and your design team created for the 2010 Symphony House. I returned three times to take a more meaningful experience away before I finally left. I will certainly keep you in mind for a consultation on an upcoming downsizing project. From my point of view, your design was the best!”
Mark Pierzynski, Visitor to Symphony Showhouse
“…Painter just finished one coat of the kitchen color and it is so wonderful. I think it is going to be beyond perfect. I am soooooooo excited. Can’t wait for you to see it.
I am so pleased to have been introduced to you, and so enjoy working with you – I just thought you should know!!! With my thanks.”
Cathy Chambers, Home-Owner
“Our family has been enjoying our newly renovated basement and watching movies in the media room. I am so thankful for Robin’s help in creating this space”

“Robin designed our new home several years before the pandemic. After spending so much time in our home in recent years because of the pandemic and selling our lake house, we realized that practically everyday we comment about something in the house and how much we love it.”
