Testimonials

Ariel and Catrina were fantastic. Very professional, listened carefully, understood what we were looking for and executed beautifully. Guided us every step of the way. Highly recommended! - Josh

Our experience partnering with Ariel and the ASR Design Studio team on our full-house redesign was great. Ariel got to know us, listened to our vision, was upfront with us and guided us through the process with professionalism, commitment, care and talent. We are thrilled with the result. - Lisa

Trying to decide on the best paint colors for our home's exterior had me going in circles until I hired Ariel Richardson at ASR Design Studio. Ariel rescued me from weeks of indecision and frustration. In one session, she and her associate Sam came up with some great suggestions and we now have a beautiful color palette that enhances the architecture of our home. Working with Ariel was a pleasure and I am very happy that I called upon a professional for help. I highly recommend ASR Design Studio. - Elizabeth

Interior design is one of those things you NEED, but don't know it. Ariel has changed my life forever with design. Not decorating, DESIGN! It takes a master of the art to really make a space come alive. I'll admit, it's not cheap. But someone once told me, "if it's something you use every day, get the best you can afford." What matters more than the home you live in? Reach out to ASR and learn what it means to truly fall in love with your space. - Robert

Ariel is the consummate professional! What I love about her design services is how organized and helpful she is. Ariel provided me with concise renderings and offered helpful information like links to vendor websites for hardware and furniture. I truly enjoyed working with her. Ariel was the first designer we have worked with and we will certainly be utilizing her services in the future!! - Ayren

Ariel was so helpful in giving my husband and I advice on how to decorate our new home. She was very in tune with what I wanted (vibe I was going for), but also gave me ideas I hadn’t thought of myself. Definitely recommend ASR! - Laura

Ariel is friendly, approachable, and down to earth. She stayed within my timeframe and budget and did SUCH an awesome job in my home. I highly recommend her to anyone that's looking for an awesome designer in the San Diego area!! - Michael

Wow Ariel, or Ari, made me eat my words. My wife pushed us to hire this studio and I had a lot of reservations regarding if we even needed this type of services or what sort of difference would their services provide. Well, a few days later and our home has been transformed. She knew how to go to each room and provided valuable information and guidance from simply rearranging rooms to a complete renovation. She was able to understand our concerns with how we want our home to be comfortable for our two kids and two dogs, while also staying within our budget. My wife could probably write up a better review out there on the specifics but if there are any hesitant husbands(or people who don't understand the value of interior design) start with this studio first. - Chris

Ariel has a great design eye, is a master with CAD and really took the stress out of picking furniture and interfacing with vendors. We loved her furniture selections and she was able to find great designs within our budget. Ariel took the time to learn about us, how we live in our space, and made selections that reflect our own personal style. We are both very busy professionals with limited bandwidth. We could not speak more highly of her project management skills and responsiveness. Thank you Ariel, we love our space! Looking forward to working with you again in the future. - Michael

I’ve never worked with a more patient and responsive team. From the design, implementation and to the final touches on our full home remodel, Ariel made sure we got everything we envisioned. She kept our huge project within the budget and made changes upon changes when we couldn’t stick with a decision. We could be as involved as we wanted with the contractor and, when we didn’t have the time, we trusted her to make sure things were done how we wanted. Thanks again for making a stressful project more enjoyable! Hope to work with the team again in the future! - Linh

ASR design studio is a breath of fresh air if you are overwhelmed with over-the-top design ideas from all corners! Ari's ideas are contemporary but not futuristic that they'd be outdated or be out of vogue by next season! Love her simple designs with the right pop of color to maintain the balance between fun and calm spaces without burning a hole in your pocket. Highly recommended! - Rajitha

Ari is the most amazing person to have in your corner for a job like this. Whether it's enormous or you're just sprucing up a space she always has phenomenal and unique ideas for the best way to do that. She hits on that perfect mix of classy and eclectic/unique, but my favorite thing about her is that she isn't here to make a space look the way she wants it to look, she's here to make it look the way you ultimately want it to... even when you're still figuring out all the details on that. - Jenna
