I had an outstanding experience working with Michele. She is truly unlike any interior designer…read moreI've worked with before. From the start, she took the time to really listen to my preferences, especially around color, and helped me pull together our first room using what I already had. Instead of pushing me to buy new pieces like many designers do, she focused on repurposing and refining what was already in place, which I genuinely appreciated. Her guidance on furniture placement alone made a huge difference. She even helped hang pictures, which speaks to her hands on approach and commitment to getting things just right. Michele also went above and beyond by shopping on my behalf and offering thoughtful recommendations for dining room chairs, patio updates, and a reimagined living room, all within a clearly defined, pre-negotiated scope. She later provided a beautiful color palette for future phases, while wisely encouraging me not to rush the process. What stood out most was her honesty and professionalism. When I was ready to move forward with another phase, she actually advised me to wait and live in the space for a few months first. That level of integrity is rare. She is direct, knowledgeable, and confident in her expertise, yet always kind and respectful. I'm genuinely looking forward to working with Michele again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, honest, and talented designer.

I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.

Highly recommend Cam to anyone who needs a thoughtful designer who knows the nuances of designs fit for the desert in the Palm Springs area. We also did some finishing touches inside as well that really make it feel like a home with character.

Needless to say our yard needed a lot of work. Troy put together a very unique plan for our yard incorporating some of what was already there and at the same time changing a number of items. Troy produced a drawing of our front yard and our backyard and what he envisioned should be the design of our completed yard. Along with Troy's help, Karen and I did a lot of the labor ourselves. The work went on for a couple of years. In the end, our yard was featured in an issue of the Phoenix Home and Garden magazine. Karen and I were excited about the finished product. Since the article in the magazine, we have used Troy to assist us with additional work on the yard. He comes to Phoenix approximately monthly and will answer any questions we have. Karen and I would highly recommend his services to anybody that wants to have a very nice yard.

I waited four years to remodel until I simply couldn't stand it anymore. The previous owner had done the last remodel himself and it was horrific. I'm smart enough to know that I can choose color, countertops, faucets, appliances, etc... but without a fabulous design (in any space) you've got nothing. Every single time in my life I've used a designer has been worth every cent. Patricia and her team are the VERY BEST designers I've ever worked with. I've had several homes and many projects over the years. They did an amazing job for me. I took advantage of her "30 Days of Design" because it sounded like my kind of timeframe and I'm not in Palm Springs for lengthy stays. It was the perfect solution for me. Of course I had some ideas of my own so it was a bit difficult when Patricia's design didn't include anything that I would have done. :-) I showed her layout/design ideas to friends and neighbors and even my contractor and they were amazed. She also had several suggestions regarding tile, counter tops, etc... Some I really loved and others not so much. But that's OK. I ran my ideas by her and absolutely loved her honesty. Sometimes she even loved my ideas!!! The end result is absolutely stunning and so far beyond what I thought it was going to be that it quite simply takes my breath away. I am horrified when I think of what would have happened if I hadn't engaged her firm. She is obviously a true professional who knows what she's doing. I can't thank her enough for doing exactly what she said she would do. I put a lot of faith in her and it was well deserved. You cannot go wrong working with Design Vision Studio. I feel blessed that I had the pleasure of working with her and would be happy to do it again.
