WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ANNIE

What first attracts clients to Annie is her distinctive eye for design—instilled during a childhood immersed in her father’s work at his nationally recognized architecture firm, honed throughout her own career collaborating with other designers, and now fully manifest in her namesake agency.

Clients further value Annie for her ability to deliver on that vision through her practical know-how: the clear communication, adherence to schedules and budgets, and calm temperament she brings to a project, not to mention the sense of fun and excitement that’s often missing from what can be a stressful undertaking for some.

Many of Annie’s clients come brimming with their own inspiration and ideas for a project, relying on her to shape them into concrete plans, provide guidance in selecting resources and contractors, and see it all through to completion—on time and on budget.

Others choose to immerse themselves more fully in Annie’s vision, trusting her to bring her own ideas and sense of what’s possible—always while working within the vernacular of a given home or project to stay true to its inherent character.

Client Testimonials...

“I don't know what we would do without Annie. I actually enjoy the design process with her, rather than feeling intimidated or stressed. Any dilemma that arises, Annie has the answer or can find it. She's helped us with large-scale remodels, window treatments, outdoor concepts, sourcing art, custom lighting... as well as the nurseries for our babies! She is very tenacious and has a brilliant way of mixing expensive and inexpensive elements, so I never feel we are overpaying for something we don't need. It's always a very transparent and straightforward experience.”

"I needed fresh eyes on one of my unusual investment properties. I had simply lost passion... I hired Annie for a consultation. From this one site visit, she was able to come up with an actionable plan to bring an enormous amount of curb appeal and value to this special property. I met her on a Monday, and by Friday, I had concept boards for both interior and exterior, lists of all materials, and landscape suggestions. These fixes were thoughtful and easy to implement, as she shopped smartly at big box stores. She brought back all of the character that had been stripped. She is a FORCE."

“I see the joy Annie gets from design and how naturally it comes to her, and it’s infectious. She has helped me with four of my residential properties. All VERY different styles. She has endless resources and ideas. Whether it's a full scale outdoor renovation, antique sourcing, staging a bedroom last minute, custom art framing, plant & tree shopping. The specialty store relationships she has are very unique: everything is beautiful (of course), but also kind honest people. I love our shopping "field" trips. To top it off nearing the end of our latest project Annie gave me an original piece of art she had painted. Always full of surprises, this is why I call her time and time again."

“If you have met Annie, you know how personable she is; you immediately feel comfortable with her. If you haven’t met her, you really should at your earliest opportunity. She is very bright and quick to understand what a client hopes to accomplish. She has the ability to take in all the information, assess a space, and turn it into an environment that is not only beautiful but also functional. Her innate design ability enabled and empowered me to deliver on my own aesthetic.”
