This review is long overdue. We hired Karina for a full-home renovation in Costa Mesa, and the results were incredible. From the very beginning she provided a clear design plan, guided us through every step, and handled all the details we didn’t have time to manage. Her communication was Excellent and we always knew what was happening, what decisions needed to be made, and how the project was progressing.
Karina Coordinated directly with our contractor, helped us choose the right materials, and made sure everything stayed on schedule. Her attention to detail and an eye for design completely transformed our home. The layout flows better, the finishes look high-end, and every room feels cohesive and thoughtfully designed.
She also saved us some money by helping avoid design mistakes and making smart recommendations that for our budget. The entire renovation was smoother, faster, and far less stressful because of her expertise.
I can’t stress this enough of you are looking for and interior designer in Orange County for a renovation or remodel, we highly recommend Karina. Worth every penny— we would absolutely hire her again.

Karina is 10/10. After our first meeting she understood exactly the vision and was so helpful in making it come to life. I get so overwhelmed with picking furniture and she made it easy.
