We were excited to buy a home from an estate in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Challenges were numerous, as the house had been unoccupied for a while. It needed updating and a fresh image. Enter Pamela Hope Designs.We shared our desires with Pamela and her team. They possessed the experience, creativity, contacts and organization to pull together the project and produce a final result that gives us joy. We could not have executed this without their hard work. I’d add that this group excels at communication, which made things run smoothly, eliminating stress.
We highly recommend calling PHD if you face a daunting project and need experts to realize your dream.

As a custom furniture manufacturer, we work with interior designers every day, and each brings something different to the table. Some create beautiful spaces. Others excel at managing the countless moving parts that go into a successful project. The truly exceptional firms do both, and Pamela Hope Design is one of them.
Pamela and her team consistently create stunning interiors while maintaining a level of professionalism that allows our collaborations to run smoothly. Communication is clear, expectations are managed, and challenges are handled proactively. Working with them is refreshingly straightforward—no surprises, no drama, just talent, organization, and a genuine commitment to delivering an outstanding result for their clients.
We always look forward to collaborating with Pamela Hope Design and would recommend them without hesitation.

I would like to recognize Pamela O'Brien for her unwavering support, encouragement, and dedication to those in the design industry. As a board member of ASID, she consistently goes above and beyond to connect with new designers, offering her wisdom, guidance, and extensive knowledge of the design world.

While her design work is truly beautiful, what makes Pamela even more remarkable is her genuine passion for design and her commitment to helping others succeed in this industry. Her generosity, leadership, and encouragement inspire those around her and make our design community stronger.
Thank you, Pamela, for all that you do and for the positive difference you continue to make in the lives and careers of countless designers.

It was a pleasure to work with Pamela and Danna on our renovation and room design projects. Pamela introduced us to Nadine and her renovation team. They are excellent in workmanship and got the work done on schedule. Danna, our designer, made the whole project run smoothly and efficiently. She is also fun to work with. We received several compliments from our family and friends on the newly decorated three rooms and the sunroom. We would recommend Pamela Hope Design to others without any reservation.
