Listen to Margi's experience with Kara Kersten Design:
The advice and help we have gotten from you all has been critical! You have exceeded our expectations in every way. Your style, attention to detail, and follow-through has been off the charts!

Before hiring a designer, we were most nervous about being able to communicate our style/vision in a way that would translate, particularly when we were unsure of some aspects of it. If I were giving advice to someone who is looking to hire a designer for their project, I would say "DO IT!" The amount of organization, inspiration, expertise, insight, and hard work put in by the designer is absolutely priceless. The attention to detail, organization, communication, design ideas....it's all been such a great experience for us! We have been extremely pleased with our experience thus far, and it has made us that much more excited about our new home.

I love Kara's design work! She is great at helping you figure out your personal style while keeping your price range in mind for whatever it is you're wanting to do. She also has a big variety of design talents ranging from artwork, building and refinishing furniture, to completely remodeling and changing the look of your home. We love how she helped design our living space but still made it feel like "us", a place we can be proud to show off and are comfortable living in.

As a computer graphics creator, I realize that a good designer combines knowledge, craft and experience to create artistry that is equally functional. However, a great designer has an innate talent that can not be learned. Kara Kersten is a great designer. She intuitively knows and can visualize what will work in the unique context of any given project. This is vital, because most projects begin with an existing space and not a clean palette. Understanding how to modify and enhance a current space so that it feels like an entirely new space is no easy task. Over the years I have seen Kara transform outdated or just plain boring spaces into fresh and contemporary designs that thrill her clients. I'm one of those clients. Kara completely transformed the first floor of our 16 year old house. She began by first understanding what was important to my wife and I in terms of the overall feel and look that we valued. She then came back with sketches, photos and color examples that nailed what we were looking for, while fitting our budget. We can't say enough about how excited we were with the final outcome. When you hire a designer, you really put your trust in their hands. You have to trust that they will design what you have envisioned, that they will be dedicated and passionate about your project, that they will communicate with you regularly and that they will be honest and diligent with your finances. I can confidently say that Kara Kersten meets all of these points.

After working along side her through many projects, I find her style and workmanship amazing! She sits down with her clients, finds out what their needs and wants are in a project and draws it out for them!! Its fabulous to see what your kitchen, bath or whatever room you are wanting remodeled or designed is going to look like even before you've done the work! Kara is also great at asking the right questions and discovering the desires of the client regarding their project. She takes into consideration their taste, style and budget. Kara is extremely easy to work with and I love that she can go into a room and figure out an innovative way to redesign the room that usually no one else has thought of!
