Her responses were prompt and informative. On the day of my daughter's party, she was punctual, professional, and accommodating. The caricatures she provided made our guests so happy and pleased! We received so much positive feedback from everyone who got a caricature. She is extremely talented, and we were so glad that our guests were able to leave with a memorable souvenir. Working with Sharon was a truly wonderful experience, and she is someone we would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in live personalized digital caricatures.

What I did appreciate is her promptness, easy communication and easy booking process, and her professionalism. Pricing wise, she's a tad bit more affordable than other artists around the area. So, that's helpful! Plus, she was super available during a weekday rush hour! would definitely book her again!

We first checked it out during the grand opening and were impressed by how open, bright, and thoughtfully set up the space was. It feels much more spacious and creative than other DIY spots we've visited. We've since gone back for camps and casual weekend visits, and she always finds something new she wants to make. The custom comic book and stuffie stations are especially fun and unique. The staff has also been consistently kind, patient, and helpful every time we've been there. Such a fun place for creative kids.

My coworker gifted me Dickies Japan Coveralls that were too big for him. It fit me slightly better…read morebut the crotch was too high and the legs were too baggy so I told him I didn't want them. I wondered how easy they would be to alter so I immediately started looking on Yelp. I found May and was surprised to find a FIT Alumni doing alterations and immediately sent a message. Response time was quick though she wanted to see the construction to make sure she could alter it how I wanted. I forgot to uncheck the Yelp message so it also sent my message to other local Tailors and alteration specialists and May's price of $60 was the most competitive for her skills. Location is at her apartment in MTV, she is a prolific pattern maker and you can see her butcher paper patterns adorning the walls as well as some racks of her own designs. She does have a conveniant changing room set up where you can quickly change for fitting and measuring. I wasn't in a rush and picked up the Coveralls yesterday, turn around was 3 working days and the alterations were clean and well-done. Much better than from the factory. Thank you May!

I met Debi through a friend and ended up visiting her art studio in San Francisco. I was…read moreimmediately inspired by her pencil portrait work, so I decided to ask if I could commission a drawing made for my adorable grandparents. I had a nice photo that was taken of them many years ago, and Debi truly brought it to life. I couldn't believe how realistic the portraits were when she was done. It captured them so well, and was more life-like than the original photo. It's so nicely detailed, with a sparkle in their eyes - I absolutely love it. Every time I see this illustration hanging in their den it makes me happy I went to Debi's studio that day, because it inspired a unique gift that surprised my whole family for Christmas and immortalized the people I care about the most.

Deb is not only excellent at her skill; she is extremely efficient and was a JOY to work with when discussing the commission. This portrait will be something my wife and I will treasure forever. Thank you, Deb!

I particularly enjoy her many captures of nature and the calming effect of the environment. Lisa, like her art has a radiant personality and is truly a joy to be around.

I only recently met Lisa through my wife Kimmy and I must say Kimmy has very good taste in people…read more My mother was an accomplished artist herself and I think Lisa shows real talent. She uses mainly Acrylic Paint and a knife to paint and has a gift for perspective, color, and balance. I was especially impressed by her subtle use of blue in a small painting of birches, which really pops out at you almost like 3D. I know too how difficult painting water can be and she tackled that nicely in a recent boat painting. Again I was both surprised and pleased by her use of color here. I am getting ready to publish a new book of poetry and hoping that I will be able to talk Lisa into doing some painting that will capture the mood of my work! Keep your eye on this young lady! I know that I am!

We waited several minutes and then a man came out of a back room to see what we wanted. We were told we had to have an appointment and that we could return at 5PM. I'm 90 years old and had driven from Saratoga to Los Altos so I said I would not return. There was no indication anywhere that an appointment was needed and driving the freeway is difficult, especially at rush hour. I would not recommend this business as they don't seem to value customers.

I was skeptical but they matched the paint so perfectly that you couldn't tell the old from the new. They patched some large holes, repaired some sheetrock water damage, and even fixed the Caulk around a leaky shower door. They are truly a full service operation. They were prompt, communication is top notch (Hector actually answers the phone) and when we had a couple of issues they came right back and took care of it. All in all I couldn't be happier and I would definitely hire them again.
