Design Consultation Professionals in Sonoma, CA

“Tiffany is an exception architect. Her impeccable design sense, phenomenal attention to detail, and her ability to work magic with contractors and craftsmen is impressive. If you want a strong creative visionary with unmatched executional ability, Tiffany is the right architect. Very strong modern sensibility and has the capacity to lead projects across the architectural spectrum — she can do massive renovations and ground up work, to lighting and interior design, to landscape design. Highly recommended.”

“Working with Sam has been delightful. He is not only a talented designer and space planner, but he takes the time to listen to concerns and worries and addresses them with detailed drawings and explanations, adding layers to the vision of the project. I would not hesitate recommending him!”

“I am a realtor and Paul is my go-to for any kind of architectural guidance. I refer him with enthusiasm to both clients and colleagues. He is the ultimate professional - responsive, collaborative, and efficient with time/budget. Best of all, he's easy to be around. Highly recommend for anything from additions/revisions to custom-builds!”

“This is an unusual recommendation. In fact, Kelly was so helpful in determining the scope of the job and the budget, that she recommended I fix the exterior of the building first and later do the bathroom remodels (2)originally planned! She recommended the contractor and arranged the bid. I will definitely call her back when I am ready to implement her plans for the remodel. 5 stars for honest, reliable, and understanding my need for what I call "renter chic." Not expensive, just what she knows excites renters to choose this property over others. Thank you Kelly! Laura Olson”

“I worked with Mr Nabena for a complete remodel of my backyard. He was extremely professional, creative and accommodating. He took into consideration our family dynamic and gave me creative options that personalized our design without it compromising the overall aesthetic we were looking for. He also helped us divide our project into phases, so we could stay on budget while maintaining a respectful timeline. I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone who is looking to work with someone who respects your time, budget and needs. He was absolutely amazing. And my yard, gorgeous. Cant wait to get started on phase 2!”

“Lauri is a smart, creative professional. She approaches each project thoughtfully and offers great ideas and options to help you reach your goals. She also helped us find a great engineer when the contractor found some issues with the foundation of our house and we unexpectedly needed a consultation. I really appreciate how thorough and detail-oriented she is when it comes to final plans. Our contractor said that her attention to all the details made his work easier. On top of that she’s very easy to work with!”

“We wanted something much more special and different than what we had seen done before locally. David and Marina were the perfect duo to do exactly that. Our home feels like it is special to us. FAME wasn’t the first architect and design firm we worked with for our project. There were other designers that were plenty talented but didn’t have the vision that they brought. Our experiences with other designers were always a bit underwhelming because they didn’t really try to get to know us before designing something they thought would suit us. David and Marina began our project by asking thoughtful questions about how we currently live, how we would like to live, and the big desires we had for our new family home. With them, it felt they were fully invested in our happiness beyond just designing something “nice”. We knew what kind of aesthetic we liked, but couldn’t articulate exactly why we liked it. FAME took our inspiration and improved on it, making it way better than we could have imagined. We are so impressed with their smart and thoughtful designs. David and Marina are so unique as a team and individually, and it really shows in their craft. Our finished home is better than we could have ever envisioned. We are very grateful and happy clients, and anyone else lucky enough to have the opportunity to hire them will feel the same.” We were always eager to see what innovative ideas they had coming our way and it was a joy to discuss design possibilities with them. The duality of their styles always came through in the multiple designs options they provided us. It was always an exciting time for us to see what they came up with. They never pushed ideas on us and were very good at understanding our thoughts and deciphering our wants and needs. There were always a lot of smiles and “Oooh’ing “and “Aah’ing” on design discussions days. We always looked forward to design discussion days because FAME never disappointed. The thing that surprised us the most in working with them was how stress-free we were as clients. We felt safe, understood, and confident that we were going to get a fantastic product with them leading the way. During construction, there are always a million decisions that need to be made and we were always confident in the ones we were making because we always felt like a team. We were always informed every step of the way in the design process and beyond. As issues would inevitably come up, we never felt lost or confused because FAME would always have either the issues solved already or a solid well thought out plan B or even plan C. Even at the most frustrating times during our build, we would still describe the process as stress-free because they were always with us 100% and carried us all the way through to the finish line. FAME was a dream team to work with and honestly I look forward to the day we can do another project together.”

“I am a licensed General Contractor and I got in contact with Mahsa through a mutual friend. We worked together on a loft remodel that took place over the course of a year and was done in three phases. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mahsa. Her ideas and vision were excellent; she made herself available in a very timely fashion for any decisions/changes that had to be made and she was flexible when any alterations to the original plans became necessary. I would highly recommend Mahsa for her ability at her work as well as her easy going attitude.”

“Sakshi was great to work with. She arrived early to meetings, coordinated everyone's schedules, and even though this was a relatively small project keep it on track and under budget. She brings a lot to the table with her creativity and knowledge of the building industry. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking at building anything from a small renovation to new construction. Great job Sakshi!!!”
