Lori from Studio Phariss is one of the most talented and hard working interior designers I have ever met. She helped us with a gut renovation of our 1972 rancher, which was basically a time capsule, complete with tiny dark rooms, low popcorn ceilings, and dirty shag carpeting. She flew back and forth from Reno to Las Vegas for months to consult with us, submitting plans for an open, bright and chic home. She worked tirelessly with structural engineers and the city to get accurate drawings and permits to ensure a seamless and high quality renovation. She is as every bit as patient, kind, and personable as she is creative and resourceful - a real pleasure to work with. As a designer myself, I really appreciate her sophisticated taste level and excellent design eye. She is the ultimate professional. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Thank you Lori, for helping our house vision come true! We absolutely love our forever home and will be eternally grateful that we found you! read more

Lori was fabulous! Remodeling our main floor (kitchen, family room, office, & dining room) was a complex project that required creativity, patience, and a steady hand--and that's exactly what we got working with our designer. She did an incredible job helping my husband and me navigate our very different design styles and somehow brought them together into a space we both love. Throughout the process Lori was responsive, attentive, and calm, even during the moments when the project felt a bit chaotic. Her creativity and guidance made a huge difference. Lori also connected us with an excellent contractor and cabinet company, both of whom were incredibly skilled and wonderful to work with. Having such a strong team made the entire experience so much smoother. We're grateful for Lori's expertise and would absolutely recommend her. read more

Lori, the owner of Studio Phariss is deceitful, manipulative, and dishonest. Avoid her at all costs!!!!!! She posted so-called "we pulled it off in record time" photographs online to promote her business to mislead the public. They are not images of Studio Phariss' completed work but rather 3D-generated renderings of the work that WAS NEVER DONE! On April 19, 2024, I signed a contract with Lori, owner of Studio Phariss, for the redesign and remodel of my 6,600 sq. ft. home. I paid a $16,500 deposit plus a 25% expediting fee of $8,250 based on her promises to accelerate the project with a target completion date of September 1, 2024. In total, she took $33,000 for her services and $36,201.21 for materials--yet she failed to order $7,051.93 worth of materials and she is still withholding those funds. Lori failed to provide any design plans until way after the promised completion date--and even then, it was only a preliminary drawing for the master suite. The rest of the house remains WITHOUT any design plans, let alone construction! None of the contracted work--plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, kitchen, flooring, bathrooms, paint selection, hardware, or any other outlined scope--has been completed. She employed an unqualified hairstylist, Lindsey, who falsely claimed to be a lead designer. Lindsey has no formal design credentials and attempted to furnish my entire home from ONE single store (RH)--a clear sign of inexperience. Lori uses unethical tactics to hold projects hostage, refusing to order materials until additional design payments are made to her--knowing the contractor is waiting. She insists on material payments through her ACH system, inflating both material and freight costs while blocking clients from directly communicating with vendors. This ensures clients never know the actual cost of materials and leaves them without recourse for recovering their money in case of a dispute. She also inflated freight charges by $1,070 despite vendors confirming that materials were shipped for free. Additionally, Lori introduced a contractor who blatantly demanded a kickback--clearly in collusion. Lori is deceitful, manipulative, and dishonest. Avoid her at all costs!!!!!! read more

Lori is a great designer to work with! She is very thorough and my wife and I really enjoyed working with her. She walked through the entire process with us (which is very tedious - designing, permitting, construction). She held our hand throughout the process!! I highly recommend using Lori!! You wont be wrong!! read more

I would give 6 stars if I could! recently used Studio Phariss for a bathroom renovation and could not be happier with the entire experience. From concept to design and final execution, Lori was attentive and professional throughout it all. She offered creative input that really helped my new bathroom stand out from what I even thought was possible. She helped pick out the correct marble and cabinets, suggested a curbless shower that I had only seen in high end resort, and even provided professional input on what fixtures and hardware would look best. Amazing experience all around! Studio Phariss is on speed dial for the next projects! Thanks Lori!! read more
