For example, I need new drapes which can get very expensive. Carma's solution....wait for it...buy drapes that are already made and have a seamstress add length and flourish to those, which equals a custom look for me at a pocketbook friendly price. She also does total room overhauls in which she shops in your house and puts a perfect room together with the things you already own. Yes, she is that amazing! Plus she is cute as can be, sweet, and very flexible. Not to mention she does not force you to buy things she likes, she is all about making you a perfect space for you not her idea of your perfect space. (Does that make any sense at all). She also does very exclusive homes, so if budget is not an issue for you she also caters to you. You should see the pictures of her before and afters....WOW!

Our experience was overall really disheartening. We began working with Stephanie, Kami's daughter…read moreand were really excited to work together as we were moving to a new place. However, we assumed that Stephanie would provide us with an overview of the process with timelines and what to expect in order to work with our move-in goals. She never provided any sense of targets or timelines, which left us unsure how things worked, when we were supposed to reach out to her, and when we should expect to receive mock ups of designs/options. There was overall really poor communication and we tried to address this. Eventually, at some point, she decided that we were not a good fit as client and designer and even mentioned she had a feeling this would not work the moment she stepped into our home originally. In that case, we wish she would have told us that earlier instead of bringing us on somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster. We later got some very harsh and cold emails from Kami accusing us of sending bad checks, when in reality, our materials had gotten mixed up as we were moving, and would have been able to rectify things if they had communicated properly with us when we first sent over the payments. Honestly, just looking at the way she responds to comments on Yelp (in addition to her communication over email) shows how she lacks professionalism and basic empathy. Perhaps, we just had a bad experience, but I'm honestly not sure if this is a super friendly business for people of color, particularly with a desire to integrate some of their cultural elements into the design, or for people new to the interior design process.

When she did finally show up was told she would get back to us by email in about a week with more information about the project and never heard back from her. If you're an adult with a business you would think one would have the decency to at least get back to a potential client and let them know she wouldn't be able to work with you. I found her flaky and her actions were adolescent.

I think I sat on every couch in Portland, wasting tons of time. Once I began working with Karrie, it took us only a short time to decide on furniture, rugs, and accessories.

Karrie listens to your needs, understands your budget, asks probing questions, takes feedback well, and I would highly recommend her for any job big or small. Karrie is professional and she has a great sense of humor. Try Karrie Yank Interiors for your next project.

After about 5 minutes, I asked for some help from people standing nearby who had looked at me several times at the desk (they had looked straight at me prior). I said I wanted to purchase a bed and was asked how much I wanted to spend. My response was I would buy what I liked, it didn't matter the cost. The woman said that there was 'quite a range' to which my reply was 'I can handle it.' It was obvious she didn't think I could because I was dressed in my 'day off clothes.' I left. Will not ever return. Really sad that they treat people so poorly. I don't believe I should have to dress up to shop. I dress up at work.
