The architect and designer went dark on us for weeks at a time. And when we finally got a design, it was something most office workers could generate on Power Point in 20 minutes with hand drawn furniture on it. They then proceeded to go dark on us again so we found a new architect. We emailed and called and asked for a final bill (they kept the $1,200.00 deposit). No response. Six months later we get a non-itemized bill for $3,600.00 FROM A COLLECTION COMPANY. Yes they immediately sent the bill to collection. We never received any notice. They still would not answer any phone call or email. It got to the point where we had to get a lawyer involved and they did not respond to him either. Eventually the bills stopped coming but these people are the absolute worst.

Everyone else may have had an amazing experience with this designer, but I was put off by the very…read morefirst phone call with Galina. Told her how the last person I went with screwed me over and stole my money and after that I could not get a word in edgewise. I hadn't even told her the full story of what happened and she kept telling me what I should have done, designs that person owes me, how I should get back in touch with that person so that they could give me the partial work they did so I could give it to her, etc. I'm an attorney so I obviously know what I was supposed to do in that situation and what that person owes me. And honestly, none of that is her business but I was conveying what happened to me so she knew what situation I was in and that I needed some reliable. However, she missed that point completely and bogarted the conversation. When I was allowed to speak and partially state what work I wanted done, I was never allowed to get my full idea out before she cut me off and told me what was and wasn't possible and what I should be doing instead. I was glad when the phone call was done and agreed for her to send me a quote via email, which I honestly didn't even open. If that how she was on the very first phone call, I knew the rest of the process would be a nightmare. Definitely not worth it. Found someone else on Thumbtack and couldn't be happier.
