"Joanna Delson is exceptional in every sense of the word. She made a small, one bedroom space feel like a much larger, two bedroom apartment. She not only came up with multiple plans of action, explaining and physically outlining each scenario, but she took the time to really understand what would be best for our family specifically. Joanna got to know us as people, listening to us talk about our individual needs, lifestyles, and concerns. She continues to stay in touch with us, giving us advice on how to further improve our apartment, as well as setting us up with other people and services to help us make these improvements. My mother, my stepfather, my brother and I couldn’t be happier with her work."

"I can't say enough about how great it is to work with Joanna. We worked with her on our 1000 square-foot open-plan apartment (home to parents and two kids). Joanna came in and quickly helped us figure out how to make the place both "pleasing" (a word she says a lot) and functional. She came up with ideas I never would have stumbled upon myself - everything from building in a real entry way to divide our space from the living area (and so that we could deal with shoes and bags and all of our outdoor necessities) to building a kitchen island on a budget, again, to help define the space and add storage and surface space.

Her recommendations allowed us to stay in our apartment about a year longer than we would have had I attempted to design and organize the place on my own, and I'm 100% certain that her recommendations, all of the clever space saving built-ins and space dividers, in addition to the easy ones that we were able to execute by ourselves (paint this trim, changes these fixtures), resulted in a higher sale price (our Realtor told us that this was so!).

Not to mention, she's just such a joy to be around and work with! (so much so, that we hired her to help us with our new space when we moved!)."

"We had 675 square feet in a wonderful friendly building in our beloved neighborhood and life was bliss!  Then we had twins! We made it work for 5 years, but we knew we needed to change, and we knew we did not want to move, but could not figure out how we could stay. When we met Joanna that all changed. Within the first few minutes of entering our apartment she had one of our major problems solved and this was indicative of her mastery throughout the process. She found a way to make our tiny galley kitchen into an eat in  for a family of four (we can even fit more in a pinch) She created a comfortable bedroom/office in a tiny 8/10 space. She turned our tiny dining room into a wonderful bedroom big enough for two growing 6 (now 7) year olds, who are still 100 percent happy with it! She also came up with a plan for when they get older and want separate spaces! Not only did she redesign the space she helped us re-envision the look of the apartment. It was always a sweet place, but she was able to help us find a style and a cohesiveness that really worked for us. Our apartment is peaceful and cheerful with beautiful clean lines. She was able to take the pre-war charm and marry it with a new fresh feel. Her personality is what takes her over the top. To work with her is an absolute joy. She is kind and funny, creative, smart, and resourceful. We love Joanna so much and recommend her to anyone looking to optimize and revitalize their space!"
