Jaki and Jennifer were wonderful to work with! They understood our vision and the outcome was perfect. They helped us design an addition and refresh to our main house and building a new 1,200 sqft ADU. They walked us through every step and provided beautiful options that fit our aesthetic. I would would recommend her and her team 10/10! Thank you JY team! read more

Unfortunately we had an awful experience with Jaki and cannot recommend her work at all. There were red flags from the beginning but we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Please don't make our mistake. Ultimately, Jaki did not understand our vision and kept pushing her design preferences on us. We had to fully create our own PowerPoint deck with reference photos to get our ideas across room by room; source our own tile (when she claimed the design we wanted didn't exist in the tile we wanted); ordered the wrong quantity of products; among many other issues. Additionally when we chose not to use her preferred contractor, she became even more difficult to work with. She claimed she didn't know how to use IKEA's closet building tool to help us build our master closet, was always running late to our meetings; nor did she know how to use Gmail to schedule said meetings. Due to COVID and vendor supply issues our renovation took much longer than anyone expected. But the most egregious and unprofessional behavior was when she quit the job BEFORE any of the fixtures she ordered were even installed. She literally took our money and ran. We were still in the middle of our renovation and had been project managing the majority of the work ourselves. To reiterate-- we paid Jaki in full for her services but she would not even honor returns or exchanges for products that we DID NOT install (because they didn't end up working in our space and were misrepresented in the renderings). In the end, we had to go directly to the vendor ourselves, who graciously honored the exchange given that we had such a terrible time trying to get that through Jaki. The whole experience has been extremely disappointing and we would not recommend her services. read more

I can't say enough good things about JY Design Interiors. They took our bathroom from an old tub to a beautiful shower. I literally don't use any other shower in my house now and always get compliments on how nice it is! Look at the transformation pics! read more

We worked with a Jaki and her team on a second story redesign, including a brand new staircase and two bathrooms (our primary bath and a guest bath). The JY team far exceeded our expectations! Not only were we thrilled with the finished product, but the entire experience of working with them was fantastic. Besides Jaki and team being extremely personable and easy to work with, here few things that we were especially impressed with: 1. Jaki quickly understood my design vision during our initial consultation and ran with it! I felt an immediate "chemistry" with her and I knew our project would be in great hands. 2. Her entire team was incredibly responsive and attentive throughout the duration of the project. Even though they were managing other clients at the time, it never felt that way and I was impressed by how dedicated they were to our project. 3. When we weren't sure which design decision to make (about fixtures, finishes, or other), they always presented us a set of options to choose from. This helped the decision making feel so manageable and not at all overwhelming. I really appreciated this approach. 4. Along with JY's amazing design talent, they're also extremely strong in project management. As a corporate professional, I really valued their ability to manage the budget and timeline and their transparency about how we were tracking. Being pregnant at the time, it was critical for us to stay on schedule! we felt confident that they had a handle on the work and could rest easy that they would flag any issues to us as needed. I can't recommend the JY team enough! I would work with them again in a heartbeat! Hopefully on a kitchen remodel next! :) read more

Jaki spearheaded the design elements of our turbo-charged timeline of a remodel in Del Mar, and quite honestly, crushed it. We initially worked with her remotely before our move to Southern California from the Bay Area. She worked tirelessly and very quickly to put together a coherent design for our kitchen (including appliances), master bath, floors, paint, lighting, and built-in cabinetry. She also was instrumental in assisting us with figuring out what furniture to order for our new space, helpfully pulling up floorpans and advising me on the right pieces to order. Thought our project, I was impressed by her speedy responses, turnaround time, and also her friendly demeanor and approachability. Jaki (and her team, I should add) is delightful to work with and extremely reliable. We are very happy with the work she did for us, and I would certainly use her services again should the need arise. read more

I hired Jaki to do a facelift in 4 different spaces in my home and had a short deadline to accomplish it all. A little over 2 weeks to be exact. I had my entry way, formal living space, dining room and living room all updated. I must say it was a major transformation. My home feels brighter and bigger (more welcoming). I was very satisfied with the result and plan to use Jaki to help design the rest of my home. The most important thing about hiring someone is understanding your vision/style and remain within budget. She was quick to respond whenever I needed anything. It was a pleasure working with her! I highly recommend Jaki for any type of interior design. read more

As a contractor, I have had the pleasure of working with Jaki on a professional level. She has a great eye for colors and lighting and impeccable project management.

I look forward to working with Jaki soon on my personal residence. read more

I asked Jaki to help me with a refresh in my new home's kitchen and great room and couldn't be happier. The colors and finishes were dated, but I asked Jaki to please work around the existing granite, as replacing it would be a major expense. She chose the colors of the cabinets, replaced the backsplash, and added new hardware that transformed the kitchen far beyond my expectations! Jaki's subcontractors were dependable, with outstanding craftsmanship for a very affordable price. Jaki has outstanding taste, is friendly, accessible and is attuned to her clients' needs. I've recommended her to friends and colleagues already. read more

Reliable, knowledgeable, accommodating, pure talent. Jaki went above and beyond from day one. Her eye for beauty turned our master bathroom into a dream.

I can't praise Jaki enough for all her help and design ideas in turning our remodeled house into a truly beautiful home. It was a huge project for us to undertake from completely changing the kitchen and bathrooms along with lighting, flooring, built in shelves and paint colors. Through it all, Jaki was always there to discuss our concerns and ideas, offer her own creative advice, and coordinate with our contractor. Since recently moving into our remodeled home, have received so many compliments on her design features. I would definitely recommend Jaki to anyone needing design ideas and wanting to remodel their home. read more

Jaki helped me remodel my home and did a stunning job. She has an innate sense of style and filled my home with grace and elegance. Her renderings were fantastic, helping me to see her vision and design for the space. She incorporated Lillian August furniture, Visual Comfort lighting, and Aerin accessories for just the right look in my living room. She also incorporated custom cabinetry that I absolutely love. I highly recommend Jaki for any of your interior design or remodeling needs. read more

When someone is as much of a joy to work with as they are talented at the work they do - you know you've found a winner! Jaki is that person. Guided by a true passion for interior design and a level of professionalism (good luck finding someone else with her work ethic) that is unmatched, Jaki took our dated (ouch!) master bathroom and kitchen and masterfully transformed both spaces in what felt like a blink of an eye. When Jaki initially walked into our house, which we were putting on the market to sell, she immediately had a sense of what needed to be done throughout the home to update it for the current real estate market. And despite our tight timeline and the COVID-related restrictions, Jaki and the contractors she worked with delivered the final (BEAUTIFUL) results on time. The best part of this? Jaki intuitively understood what needed to be done and also the way that the budget would need to be factored in. She didn't waste our time with wish-list items that while appropriate for someone who is remodeling a home that they will continue to live in, was not appropriate in our situation. Simply put: Jaki gets all of it. And the icing on the cake? She is a fabulous communicator and a really (really!) nice person. It's a pleasure to recommend Jaki and her team. The final result: We had four offers in three days. read more

Jaki has been helping us completely refresh the look of our home one room at a time. She has great taste, a sharp eye for detail, listens and takes your budget, lifestyle and household needs into consideration when planning a space and sourcing products to go in it. She's helped us create beautiful spaces that our family of four (+ pets) can actually live in! I'd definitely recommend Jaki to friends and family. She's terrific to work with and we're already discussing what area of our home we should have her tackle next. read more

It's hard to find the words to express how much we loved working with Jaki! Not only is she a pleasure to work with but she is off the charts talented. We remodeled our entire house with Jaki and we are thrilled! From day 1 Jaki took the time to really understand our style and what we wanted to accomplish. Remodels can be very overwhelming but Jaki and her team were there for us every step of the way and they made the process fun. She really understood our style and helped us build our dream home. Besides being extremely talented and having an incredible eye for design she is also a joy to work with. Her customer support was excellent. Jaki answered any question we had in a timely manner, made multiple trips to our house for deliveries, and made sure everything was placed & hung in the correct place. I've never experienced such amazing customer service! If you're doing a complete remodel or need help with interior design we highly recommend Jaki for any and all of your design needs. read more

I have a flooring store and have had the pleasure of working on multiple projects with Jaki in different scenarios. She is everything you'd want in a designer. Shes professional, responsive, intelligent and you can still have a normal conversation with her. She even has quite a bit of general contractor knowledge, which is a huge plus. Because she is educated in her field, stays up to date with the trends and brings her own style into her projects, they turn out absolutely amazing every time. Everything I have worked on with her has been perfection when its all said and done. She is very good at what she does. With all of that said, my favorite thing about Jaki doesn't have anything to do with her design skills. The best part about working with Jaki is that she is an absolute sweetheart. There is nothing better than doing business with someone who is a nice person. Thank you for that Jaki and we are always looking forward to our next collaboration with you! read more
