I hired Noz and her team to lead the design for a complete remodel of my 2BD/2BR condo in San Francisco. Before hiring a designer, I had worked up some very rough design ideas, but I wanted a designer to “push the envelope” while also developing a cohesive aesthetic throughout the home. From our initial consultation, Noz worked really hard to understand what I wanted, and used that as a starting point for her own amazingly unique and creative ideas. My home has been transformed in a way quite different from what I originally expected, but very much in the spirit of what I was seeking from a comfort and design perspective. I couldn’t be happier with how the place turned out, thanks to Noz and her team!From initial contact to the completion of the project, Noz and team were consistently enthusiastic, communicative, prompt and clear. We worked through three design proposals, and with each iteration a concept drawing was incredibly helpful in thinking about what the final space would look like. The process was super valuable for me – Noz definitely had incredible ideas but was also more than open to my feedback and always available to explain and/or balance her design choices in very practical terms. Noz and her team also selected new furniture throughout the home, some of which was initially outside my comfort zone, but ultimately really added the finishing touch to the overall vibe of the final space.I’ll just add to what others have said here already: For all her obvious design talent and accolades, Noz listens to her clients, is extremely practical, and is super fun to work with. She brings not just amazing design ideas and concepts but also a healthy perspective on the realities of construction. We had to scramble a few times with costs, pandemic delivery timelines, and many of the usual construction-related delays, and she always had good, practical solutions, while keeping the final design in mind. I think it’s a rare combination and I would not hesitate to recommend Noz and her team!

Nozs excellent attention to detail, vast knowledge of materials and superb aesthetic are exactly what we needed to infuse style and function into our home. We started the project with some direction on what we wanted and Noz took it to the next level! She turned our dream of transforming a useless garage space into a living, breathing area to cook, dine and relax. She was always ahead of schedule and did a great job of understanding our budget. I would highly recommend her for any project!

I absolutely loved working with Noz to design my business studio space. I own a boutique letterpress business and moved in to an industrial space in South San Francisco. I wanted the space to feel warm and welcoming for clients while balancing the inherent industriousness of the business give that I operate massive machinery in the space. Noz was brilliant and had such fabulous ideas and concepts for the space. She started with an in person consultation and I could see that she immediately got the space and my needs with the space. She talked about the space as being a full experience and I love how she envisioned working in the space as well as being a client in the space. She had top budget and low budget solutions to everything which was great and allowed me to decided where to put some resources. I love Nozs professionalism, creativity, color sense and overall fun personality! I would work with her again and again.

Noz and team did a fantastic job on our remodel. We did new offices, updated living and dining room and redid 3 bathrooms and the kitchen. Each space perfectly suits us. But more importantly, there’s a design continuity that unifies the house. Noz worked with us to meet our budgetary constraints while making suggestions that completely met our needs. Her recommended appliances are terrific, the furnishings perfect and the house feels like OUR home. Her team was always in communication with us and they made sure that each appliance, piece of furniture or fixture was delivered on time. They stayed right on budget and right on time. Highly recommended.

We couldnt be happier with Noz and her team! Team Noz’s exceptionally creative and playful vision along with her professional approach resulted in a remarkable transformation of our storybook-style home in San Francisco, which now reflects our style, personality, and WOWS everyone who enters. It’s the trifecta! We wholeheartedly recommend and are huge fans of Noz Design!

We found Noz on Houzz a couple of years ago because we needed some help designing the remodel of our kitchen and two bathrooms. We were drawn to her unique and vibrant style and positive reviews. Our experience with Noz far exceeded our expectations. Not only is she a wonderfully warm and positive person to work with, she has amazing ability to understand our aesthetic and come up with exciting designs. Our experience with past designers was a times frustrating, either because they would ignore our budget concerns or werent open to critiques. Noz respected all our budget concerns and is easy to have an open dialogue with and the results are amazing. In fact, we had such a positive experience with our home remodel, we ended up hiring her to design our new restaurant and we are now using her to design our home outdoor space. We will continue to use her for any design projects.

Having Noz be our guiding light through our first home design project was a true blessing in many ways. We purchased a new construction house in the Pacific Palisades and while the delivered finishes were well done, we wanted to make it a home that reflected our personal style. Knowing that our design preferences leaned conservative, we engaged Noz to push our boundaries and introduce design concepts and combinations that we would have otherwise never thought of ourselves.The added challenge was to make our home child-friendly for our toddler and incoming twin infants. Noz consulted on every room in the house, and here are the highlights: (i) an incredible four-bunk bedroom for our children to grow up in, (ii) a finished entertainment basement with media built-ins that had to be designed with very specific measurements in mind to house a vinyl record collection, (iii) a formal living room that had to be highly conducive to Christmas decorating, including the reupholstering of two antique seating pieces and the re-tiling of a fireplace and (iv) installing wainscoting and custom wallpaper in our dining room.From start to finish, Noz’s consultation on our six bedrooms and many other common spaces spanned about 5 months, during which she maintained constant contact, even during her personal vacation in Japan.We have been very impressed with her taste, direction, professionalism and swiftness of execution. Above all, Noz had a deep respect for our stated design budget and at no point did we feel like we were compromising design integrity to make our budget work. She was encouraging during times when we were on the fence about certain choices, and professional during times when we weathered internal disagreements about what general direction to take. She took constructive criticism of proposed mood boards very well and her reiterations were always closer to our vision.We recommend Noz Design to anyone without reservation.

I purchased my first home which was in dire need of a make over. After much searching, I decided to hire Noz as she was highly recommended by a friend. Nozs work speaks for itself: gorgeous, functional, modern, and unconventional. I made an instant connection with Noz and fell in love with her design philosophy and aesthetic. I initially hired her for interior design, but was so pleased that I increased the work scope to include a kitchen remodel, bath remodel, and outdoor paint selection. Noz was flexible and able to work within my tight budget. She always delivered results ahead of schedule. Noz designs with the clients happiness in mind; not her ego. She was always eager for feedback and interested in what made me happy. I would always tell her that I dont really know what I want, but I know what I dont want...I am still amazed out how well Noz listened and translated my ideas into a home that I love (and so do my friends, family, and neighbors)! I am extremely happy with the work that shes done for me and look forward to many more projects together. I enthusiastically recommend Noz Design.

After purchasing a new home, Noz helped me design my living/dining room, master bedroom, and home office. It was my first time using a an interior designer, and Im so glad that I got to work with Noz. I had never worked with a designer before, and the entire process could not have been more stress-free. For example, I came home one day and all my art pieces were hung perfectly, and it felt so luxurious to have someone advise on the big concepts and then take care of the small details. Ditto with the window curtains. The best part about working with Noz, which I appreciate to this day, is that her suggestions really took the project to another level. Some of the items that she picked, which I liked when I first saw the design, are pieces that I just absolutely love now and would have never thought of getting myself. To me, thats the value of working with a designer. Finally, Noz is just great to work with it. Shes smart, organized, creative, and has a really great energy about her.

Working with Noz Design was amazing. She helped us remodel our kitchen and bath in our victorian home. She is a great listener and was able to synthesize our conversations into design choices that made so much sense for us. She didnt overwhelm us with choices, and was able to source some great materials on our short timeline. She worked with our contractor seamlessly and came by to check on progress for us (we were out of state during the remodel). We are now planning our next project with Noz!

We hired Noz to help us decorate our entire new 3BR/2BA condo, including a deck off the living room. We interviewed three interior designers and it was clear from our first conversation that her client-centric approach and knowledge of pretty much everything (from obscure topics to everything design/architecture/furniture, etc...) was unparalleled. Our decision to hire Noz was the best decision we could have made.Noz was incredibly clear about her design process, listening to our ideas and mocking up various options for us to be able to see her designs come to life. She was great about working within our budget and making trade-offs between higher-end and more reasonably-priced pieces. She also encouraged us to make a few bold choices on darker walls, which -- as she assured us they would -- came out beautifully.Noz was such a joy to work with and educated us along the way: she was our partner in crime in designing our dream home and we not only loved the outcome, but also really enjoyed the process. We couldnt recommend her highly enough.

I was looking renovate both bedrooms in my house because they are so dated and not as functional as they could be. I had some of my own ideas such as where to put the furniture and how to color coordinate things but I also knew that there were people out there that do this for a living that probably had better ideas than my own. I decided to consult the internet and talked to several different designers but all of them were not quite was I looking for. Then I came across Noz. She was very responsive, professional, and had some great ideas. One thing that really stood out with Noz was the fact she actually listened to what I needed and wanted. She also didn’t try and press my budget. Most other people we talked too always came at us with options that were at the very top of our budget while Noz gave us some options and ideas that were in all ranges. This was great. When the time came to do the work she did what she said she was going to do and has great sub-contractor connections. All of her subs were very trustworthy and professional, which made me feel comfortable especially considering they are working in my house! All in all, Noz is great and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a design professional.

My husband and I just completed our first renovation experience on our 3 bedroom 1 bathroom condo in San Francisco. We could not be happier with the outcome and could not have done it without Noz (and dont want to imagine what the outcome would have been without her). She is a thoughtful, creative, knowledgeable, and talented designer. But beyond that, she is patient, calm, honest, and communicative - all important characteristics for a designer to have during what can be a stressful time.I interviewed and got quotes from 8+ different designers in San Francisco (and researched even more) and the decision to hire Noz was easy/instantaneous. Noz listened carefully to everything we were looking for, asked intentional questions, and delivered a proposal/contract that illustrated her attention to detail. For example, I casually mentioned that the new chair we needed for the living room needed to be dog friendly (our dog likes to sit and look out the window) and she remembered and included this detail in the proposal.The project that Noz helped us with included: existing bathroom renovation, second bathroom and master closet addition, full condo paint consultation (Noz is a color consultant and made it SO easy to sort through the millions of color options that can be paralyzing), decor/furniture/fixture consultation, and partial kitchen renovation (we also removed a wall between kitchen and formal dining room to open up the space).Noz went above and beyond what we expected. Beyond simply helping us design the agreed upon aspects of our place, she also made recommendations for small improvements/optimizations to our architectural plan that we are SO happy we listened to (examples: not building a permanent kitchen island that would have made it hard to move around in our space, not building in heated floors in our master bath that would have likely broken and cost us money over time to maintain, a better way to lay out the master bath/master closet space, and layout/spacing of our kitchen addition). Even after we completed our payment to her, Noz continued to respond to our texts/calls as questions came up (our project ended a few weeks later than anticipated). We just had our first baby a few weeks ago, and Noz reached out to check in and drop a gift off to us. Speaks volumes about how much she connects with and cares about her clients.We had no idea how many decisions go into a renovation (beyond picking out fixtures/tile/hardware/furniture/etc, you have to decide on how to lay out the tile, where the hardware is positioned, heights of bathroom fixtures, etc). Having Noz there to call/text/consult gave us confidence in each of our choices. She does a fabulous job giving you all of the pros/cons and things to consider when making a decision and is ultimately always focused on helping you make the right call for you. She will also always give her opinion/recommendation when asked without being pushy. When it comes to furniture/fixture decisions, Noz is great at giving you a range of options at different price points within your budget so you can decide where and when to splurge v. where/when to save.Noz was on the pricier end from an hourly cost perspective but ended up being on the more affordable end overall as she is much more efficient than other designers we spoke to (something she mentioned would be the case up front). Rooms that other designers said would take them 10-15 hours to design only took Noz a few hours - a reflection of her talent, knowledge and relationships. And she sticks to the # of hours she outlines in her contract so you know the cost up front with no surprises.We are thrilled with the outcome of our project and feel like we gained a new space and a new friend. Strongly recommend Noz and her work.

Choosing Noz as our designer for our new home is one of the best decisions weve made and I could not recommend her more highly.When we first went searching for interior designers we were struck by how so many people produce very similar-looking work. Noz is distinctly not this type of designer. She oozes creativity and original thought in a way that is refreshing and inspiring. She is always creating spaces that are new and truly unique for her clients - rooms that meet their needs, echo their aesthetic spirit, and elevate the atmosphere of a home to heights that seem unimaginable. Noz did all of this for us and more. She took careful note of all our familys wants and needs, was patient with doing revisions to make everything perfect for us, and produced gorgeous results.Noz was wonderful to work with in every way possible - she is kind and so genuinely likable. She won over and befriended my children immediately. She takes pride in her work but also balances a sense of humility, being willing to consider other viewpoints and incorporate them into her work when needed. She works hard and is reliable when it comes to timelines (something that is SO hard to find in this world!). She is militant in adhering to a budget and keeps track of orders, costs and all correspondence with impressive meticulousness. She reliably responds to all emails promptly. All of the people in Nozs orbit who she sent to our home to paint, to woodwork, to hang pictures, install furniture, etc. are like her--kind, talented and hardworking--we always know that anyone she vouches for will do great work for us. Noz cares deeply about everything she does but even more importantly genuinely cares about the people and the greater world around her - she is always looking for ways to do good and to use her talents and her platform to help others.We are truly lucky to know Noz and to be able to work with her and now consider her a friend. Anyone who gets to work with Noz will certainly not regret the opportunity.

Shortly after moving into our new home in San Francisco, we hired Noz to design several rooms for us. We’d interviewed several other designers, too, and Noz was by far the best able to understand the advantages of our space and how to use interior design to enhance it. She “got it” where others fell short.Noz uses a business model that is uncommon among interior designers, where she charges based on her upfront time estimate, doesn’t bill for individual hours, and passes on her full designer discount. We felt that this model incentivized the kind of collaborative relationship that’s hard to realize under a more traditional hourly rate plus commission model (where every email and every round of back and forth costs more money). It’s now difficult for us to imagine doing it any other way.Throughout the design process, Noz was extremely receptive to our feedback, adapting her designs significantly to meet our style, but also pushing us toward some stylish options she selected for us that we weren’t initially sure about but have grown to love. We’ve been extremely happy with the results!Since completing the design phase of the project, Noz has been in touch regularly, and helped us navigate a couple of issues with vendors overcharging us or failing to deliver. She’s been incredibly helpful using her designer’s clout to lean on vendors to make things right, as well as suggesting some creative alternatives we’ve liked even better.

Noz is amazing! She took the time to understand both my needs and and my style before designing a solution that was both well thought out and under budget - as well as being visually stunning. She completely renovated my living room (furniture, paint, lighting, and design), providing an initial walkthrough and multiple discussions, a project plan with details on each change or piece, alternatives for each decision point, and sorted it all by importance and budget. Also, she supervised the providers in cases when I wouldnt be home or didnt have the expertise to adequately judge their performance.From start to finish, Noz was considerate of the unique challenges and aspects of my home. She incorporated aspects of my personality while making suggestions that were completely in tune with what I had yet to realize about the goals of the project.In the end, I am more than happy with how Noz transformed a dull, worn-out, cluttered space to one that I consistently enjoy using each and every day. She has brightened my world and did so in a budget-friendly and surprisingly pleasant fashion. I cant wait to work with her on my next rooms!

Noz was amazing when it came to choosing colors for the new place I was working on. Since it was the first renovation Ive done, I was a bit conservative with colors, but Noz was super encouraging and made me feel great about making sure it wasnt boring by putting some accents with our closet doors. She really took into consideration what I comfortable with and was fun to work with through the whole process.Noz also encouraged me to go for a bolder color choice with the guest room and it turned out amazing! We also chose accent colors for our bedroom closet doors which Im super happy with and will post photos of later :)

Noz helped transform our new home with some excellent color palette choices that perfectly matched our tastes. She worked with us on scheduling, and even had a great recommendation for painters to use. We will certainly work with Noz again when we have bigger projects in the future.

We worked with Noz to help redecorate our family room, living room and dining room. She has impeccable taste and most importantly understood exactly the style we were looking for. Noz was incredibly professional and was able to give us the rooms of our dreams right within budget. We absolutely love what Noz has done for our home!

We had never done a remodeling or home improvement project and really did not know what we were getting ourselves into. Redoing 1 full bathroom, 2 half bathrooms, new paint, floors and lights sounds easy enough....but I am not sure what we would have done without Noz! She made the process easy and always had answers to all of our questions.Noz has lots of practical advice that helped us pick materials and fixtures we wouldnt regret later once we were living with it, and stayed within our budget but still reflected our style. This is key when you have no idea what you are doing! If you want your next home project to come out looking amazing then you should definitely hire Noz!

Our experience working with Noz was so exceptional that its hard to know where to begin! My husband and I purchased our first home in October and expected our first child in February. Coming from a small apartment, we needed a lot of furniture and fast. Noz came in and was able to figure out our design sense, finding a perfect middle ground between my husband and I, and to work within our time constraints. She furnished our entire home by the time the baby arrived (within five short months!).One of the most impressive aspects of working with Noz was her ability to find beautiful, high quality items within our budget. She truly respected our financial constraints, and had incredible judgment for when to splurge and when to save. I felt that she really listened to us, understood what we wanted, and provided us with far more personal attention than I ever could have expected. I dont think we were the easiest clients (my husband can be pretty... particular), but Noz was always very patient and flexible.Noz has great instincts, but also the unique ability to articulate those instincts and explain her viewpoints. As much as Noz was able to quickly understand our taste, she was also able to challenge us to go beyond our comfort zones. Noz helped us choose several items that we never would have gravitated towards on our own and which have now become our favorite things! For example, she encouraged us to choose certain paint colors and lighting fixtures that consistently receive compliments from guests and truly made our house feel like our home.The one room of the house that I wanted to tackle alone was the nursery, but even here I began to feel somewhat stuck and asked for Nozs input. She suggested we paint large, neutral stripes on the walls, which, again, we never would have considered on our own. The paint design completely elevated the nursery, and for all the other elements of the room that I love, its the stripes that receive the wide-eyed admiration from guests. She just completely excels at turning the ordinary into something visually stunning, and in typical Noz fashion, she was able to do so within our budget and very quickly.After even short absences, when we return to our house my husband and I are always struck by just how great it looks. It still surprises me that we were able to furnish our home so beautifully and so quickly, and its all thanks to Noz. Putting the final product aside, shes also just a joy to work with-- fun and brilliant. My husband and I achieved the look we wanted for our home, but we also learned a lot and enjoyed the process. I cannot recommend Noz highly enough!

Noz and her team designed our restaurant. Her design is fresh, exciting, innovative and thoughtful. Her entire team was lovely to work with. Responsive, punctual and able to solve problems quickly. We get compliments daily on the design of our restaurant space. We will ONLY be working with her team and can’t wait for the next project!

Noz assisted us with the furnishing/design of our new home in San Francisco. Here is what we liked about working with Noz:-impeccable taste. Her talent is undeniable. She produced an incredible design for us-communication skills: solid, responsive, thoughtful. She will give a thoughtful/reasoned opinion on something without being pushy. We found her perspective to be very helpful to our decision making.-Noz closely considered how we live, ensuring the spaces she designed would be highly functional-Noz has great relationships with various trades in the Bay Area eg. Woodworkers, upholstering, paint, framing that made the whole project go very smoothlyWe love our new home, largely because of Noz’s efforts. We hope to work with her again on our next home.

Noz is awesome!!! She is a natural, has an innate sense of design, understood my sense of style/design very quickly, had the right balance of listening to what I wanted but not afraid to share her perspective, or push me to take risks and mindful of agreed budget. I love the home she created for me and would recommend her to anyone.I worked with her to design my entire home. She completely concepted + designed living-dining Great Room, master bedroom, second bedroom, and roof deck. She was very helpful in editing down the furniture I brought along from previous homes, down to my favorite pieces that I wanted to keep -- and then thoughtfully incorporated those pieces into the designs so they felt special but not sticking out like sore thumbs among new furnishings. She selected all the paint colors and statement wallpaper throughout my home, including some daring bold colors + patterns that I definitely would not have pulled the trigger on your own. She even refaced my living room fireplace with a new tile to brighten the. corner. She helped secure great pricing on several major pieces, which delivered value and helped maximize my budget. In fact she was very mindful in keeping to the budget we had agreed to - which I really appreciated.

We had a fantastic experience working with Noz remodeling our kitchen / laundry / powder room / adding a master bath.A few reasons why we loved working with Noz:-Strikes perfect balance of combining her design aesthetic with your individual likes/vision: She pushed us to be bold, while staying true to the broader feel of our home.-Great communicator: Highly responsive, clear communicator, efficient across channels. This was important during construction if the contractor needed quick input to keep moving forward.-Transparent pricing, works within your budget: Clear pricing (upfront fee for design, hourly for construction phase). Helps provide choices that give you the most bang for your buck-Strong reputation with local SF vendors: helped troubleshoot when we had a tile order come in wrong to get everything fixed.-Knowledgeable: Noz had a spot-on recommendation for everything. There are a million detailed questions that come up in a renovation and it makes things much more efficient to have a trusted person to ensure every detail will work to achieve the vision.Bottom line, Noz is great to work with and we cant be happier with the end product!

Noz came in at the end of our renovations to help with the painting of ours rooms and interior design. She was super helpful and very spot on. We told her what we like and she delivered. She picked non traditional color for our bedroom which turned out to be amazing. Our boys love the colors she choose for their bedroom, they feel safe and happy in their new space. She had good eye for furniture layout. thanks to her help our small place looks spacious, sexy, warm and cozy all at the same time. I highly recommend her and would for use her services again.

We worked with Noz on helping bring a fresh and creative perspective into our traditional, family-friendly house. We loved Nozs positive energy, bold use of color and a fearlessness when it came to statement pieces to anchor our decor.Noz is a consummate professional: from timely communications to carefully listening to our budget considerations, she worked tirelessly to produce design concepts that combined her signature aesthetic with a relatable and livable vibe.We loved working with her - her positive energy, can-do attitude, and an unshakable optimism is a tremendous asset to her practice and makes the experience of working together a joy. We highly recommend Noz and her team!

Noz is brilliant -- she gave me (and my home) a whole new perspective!I was completely overwhelmed with trying to furnish a new home from scratch and had no clue where to start. I also had no idea what I wanted, which certainly didnt make her job any easier. But Noz was extremely professional and patient with me-- she really took the time to understand what I wanted out of the space when I couldnt even define it.After a few phone conversations, Noz took me on a few shopping design exploration trips to several furniture stores to help identify my personal aesthetic. She has a wealth of information about furniture, home design, and how to balance style with functionality. Noz also possess an irresistible enthusiasm for design that made this project I was dreading actually become enjoyable!I found her consultation invaluable and would highly recommend her services to any prospective clients!

Ive always aspired to have a place that is well put-together, that I would be proud to invite people over to enjoy. Ive never had the ability nor really the opportunity, so when my boyfriend and I moved into a new one-bedroom apartment, I sought out Nozs help. She made this happen for us in a matter of weeks with an energy, professionalism, and true passion for the process that I have rarely seen.One of the best parts of working with Noz was the comfort that she really understood what we wanted. Her forte is her ability to help her clients (who may not know themselves) what they prioritize and want in design and functionality. She begins by getting to know you and then constantly posing options to suss out what your preferences really are. She took the time to explain options to me, alternatives, was very knowledgeable about potential vendors, and was budget conscious throughout. She was also accommodating; I brought in a request to display books at a late stage in the process. She was able to very quickly build that into the layout without a fuss.From the moment she walked into my kitchen and saw the lack of counter space (that I didnt realize would be an issue) to hanging my frames on a tough-to-nail wall, she has an eye for details and can really deconstruct and then problem solve a space to make it work.I would definitely recommend her and hope I will have additional spaces for her to work with in the future. My boyfriend and I, having moved thousands of miles into an empty space, now have a place to call a home and we definitely thank Noz for that!

It was such a pleasure working with Noz on the remodeling of two bathrooms in our home! We love them and the design process was fun.Noz was involved from beginning to end and was available to answer questions when we needed her. For one of the bathrooms, we werent sure about where we wanted everything located. Noz provided us with several options, so we were able to sit with the options and consider the choices. Ultimately, we decided to go with the design she recommended.Nozs designs were efficient in terms of space and very well-written for our understanding and use, as well as for the GCs and subcontractors use. She listened so carefully to all of my functional and aesthetic goals for both bathrooms and always made recommendations in line with those goals. For example, I wanted as little grout in one shower as possible, and she recommended an excellent solution that looks fantastic and also requires very little upkeep. Her lighting suggestions look amazing in the spaces. Her suggestions for fixtures looked so perfect that it was easy to just say yes! to all of them. When we wanted to see fixtures and finishes in person, she referred us to various showrooms, which was also very helpful.No construction project comes without hiccups, and we had one with a vendor. But thanks to Nozs excellent professional relationship with them, once she spoke with them, they quickly corrected course and expedited our order.We cant wait to work with Noz again!

We hired NOZ to renovate our Jewel Box of a homes kitchen. Considering the kitchen is small (11 x 15) we needed to focus on function but really desired great style (think Tom Ford meets Dorothy Draper.) We started by reviewing our budget by line item. Noz did a great job of identifying where she thought things might get more or less expensive in the budget. Once we moved into execution Noz handled every detail of the renovation. We didnt have to reach out to one contractor and choices were always provided in a discreet manor (i.e. choose one of these three options - which we asked for.) In the end we co-created a beautiful and functional kitchen space that we now love to use everyday!

Noz designed two fun and inspiring kids rooms for our home. Her designs are beautiful, and the kids love them as much as my husband and I do. Nozs attention to detail and follow through are excellent (two important but often lacking traits in other designers). Im glad we decided to work with her and am happy to recommend her work.

Noz helped me furnish the living and dining rooms of my townhouse, which started with just a dining table. She developed layouts for my living room based on how I wanted to use and host in the space, and flexibly incorporated my new roommates sectional sofa mid-project, which helped save money. In addition to furniture and rugs, Noz helped select indoor plants and a light fixture for my dining room, helped me select new window shades, and recommended a lighting plan for my living room because it currently doesnt have any overhead lighting. She is mindful of budget, helpful in answering questions I had along the way, and easy to work with.

Working with Noz Designs has taught me that there is a huge difference between having good taste and knowing how to design. Before working with Noz Designs, our home had furniture that my husband and I had compiled over the years but nothing really went together. The color of our spaces was neutral but didn’t say anything about us.Annie was able to take our needs and wishes and transform them into a living space that still blows my mind away. From lighting to furniture to wall color our living space has been transformed. Now, when people walk into our home they see a space that reflects both who we are and also feels insanely comfortable. Working with Noz Designs has been a fabulous experience.Annie worked with our budget and style and transformed our home from a space we just live in to a place we love.

I worked with Noz on a recent residential project and it was a great experience! She is a blast to work with. Not only is she extremely organized and knowledgeable, but is sensitive to client needs - which makes a really happy client. Shes got great creative vision, and her ideas and execution will add magic to any space. Highly recommended!

Noz was pure brilliance, particularly from the perspective of a person that needed their new condo taken from empty and sad to furnished and awesome. I literally moved in with a mattress, some plants, and a folding lawn chair, and with Nozs help, I now have a fully outfitted bedroom (with new carpeting and paint), living/dining room, and outdoor patio. The process Noz takes you through in understanding your tastes and preferences is straightforward and seamless. She’s knowledgeable to the point of “wow” on all things furniture, design, space, color, etc. I couldn’t be happier with the look and feel of everything she put together for me. My condo is now not only a home, but a bad-a$$ place for me to be happy in, love and show off to my friends & family!Thanks Noz!

We hired Noz recently because we bought a property and had no idea how to renovate it. She spent two hours with us just walking through the property, pointing out things we never would have thought of, and answering our questions. We got a solid idea of how wed go about our remodel as a result. Noz was super knowledgable and was a great listener, and wed be happy to recommend her to anyone.

We are unbelievably fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Noz Design and her clients with their window coverings. She is able to balance a close relationship with her clients, while being respectful of their budget and vision. Her talent and designs are awe inspiring and we cant wait to see the finished product. We are unbelievably appreciative to be working with such a kind, understanding, thoughtful & professional designer.

I am thrilled with the living room decorating project Noz did for me. She was fast, respectful of my budget and time, and my room looks phenomenal. I am a busy working mom of two small children, and I now have the living room of my dreams with very little time and effort on my part, and totally within my budget. She listened to what I wanted, and then gave me better than I expected. She has great taste, and is not afraid of a bargain. The big beautiful rug she found me for under $600 is probably the most raved-about item in my whole house. I cant say enough things about her. Shes totally professional, totally stylish, has great taste, and she listens. I cant wait to get her hands on other rooms in my house! Hire her today.

Noz is wonderful -- and Im sure that this is just the first project we have roped her into helping us with. Noz transformed neglected rooms and outdoor space, and somehow translated our garbled and ill articulated ideas into a suite of spaces that are perfect in every way: beautiful, with fun and surprising details that pop, and practical enough to withstand our army of children/dogs/family. We gave Noz a budget, and she said yes -- that is, she stayed within budget and tracked our progress in a conveniently shared spreadsheet. She was remarkably efficient with our time, and even worked around our kid/work schedules -- late evening site visits, for example. And she is ridiculously prompt in responding to questions/ideas. Talk to Noz. Shell make it all look good.

I am a personal concierge, and I met Noz three years ago because we had a mutual client. I was blown away by her ability to lean into my clients eclectic taste and embrace the unique features of a historic home, yet still elevate the interior design with her own remarkable aesthetic.The result landed my clients kitchen and living room in a Sunset Magazine spread.Since strong referrals create something of an ecosystem, my clients have since overlapped with those of Noz. It has been a privilege to take a front-row seat to her designs in action, from the concept stage to completion. Her interiors are accessible, sophisticated, and beyond imaginative. She is a boundary pusher and a shapeshifter, and its further a joy to witness our mutual clients growing awe of their own homes.As an aside, it is so easy to work with her, be it the mundane (coordinating furniture receiving) or the trickier stuff (contractor management).I lack the words to describe her style, but I keep coming back to bar none.

Noz rocks - I have a tiny NYC studio and Noz gets super excited to make small spaces functional and cozy. We worked remotely on this, and quickly too because I really wanted to have a livable set up as I travel a lot and dont have a lot of time to dedicate to shopping around and waiting. She never hesitated to provide alternatives when I flat out rejected ideas, and was honest when she didnt find my ideas as fitting, which makes her easy and guilt-free to work with as well, because I know that the two-way communication is honest. And she was very mindful of my quite limited budget and always looked for value and alternatives. Best of all, she gets really excited to see the final product and excited to see me excited which really highlights her dedication and passion, and that this isnt just a job.

Noz is absolutely the best you will find. Not only is she incredibly professional and client-minded, but her sense of space and design constantly leaves me in awe. Having worked with her on my own projects, I know first-hand that she listens to everything you want, and then not only delivers it, but suggest things that you may not have even known you wanted. Her ability to understand a client goes beyond just visual. She creates spaces that are stunning to look at, but are also amazingly functional and improve the quality of the space and the value of everything in them.I would recommend Noz Design to ANYONE who is looking for a design who they can trust, and who can help them fall in love with their space all over again. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

Noz Design helped out with designing my workspace to spruce up the treatment rooms in my facility. Noz listened to my needs and came up with effective solutions to work with the limitations of space and light. The end result is terrific so much so that my clients took notice. I highly recommend Noz Design.

Like many Bay Area techies, I found myself ready to graduate from my bachelor style SF apartment to something more grown up, but lacked both the time and competency to do so myself.In came Noz Design! Noz helped prioritize what parts of my place could stay and which would change. She took my little bit of direction and turned it into something that looked great and was on budget.
