Reviews of ASR Design Studio (Interior Designer)

Michael Carilli

I hired ASR Design Studio and worked directly with Ariel for two years on curating our Kaiser Mall location of The Port Workspaces in Oakland, CA. I wanted to create a three-story vertical entrepreneur’s campus providing workspaces for individual entrepreneurs, startups, small and mid-sized companies as well as chefs, artisans, and makers. As the third location for the Oakland-born Port Workspaces, The Kaiser Campus occupies 60,000 square feet in the Kaiser Centers former mall area. Ariel was in charge of designing the perfect atmosphere for all three floors to create several types of work environments with flexibility, change, and movement in mind for the end user. ASR Design Studio provided design concepts with impeccable taste that aligned with color specialist and design build teams to generate a cohesive space. They were in charge of creating design concepts for the space, carpet-tile layout/design, overseeing installation of carpet-tile, purchasing all furniture, lighting, and accessories while managing the budget. The results were overwhelming fantastic, the media is buzzing all about our new location. Ariel is truly an exceptional person who runs her business with passion and expertise. She provides outstanding customer service and is always available to answer questions to talk through a design phase. I would highly recommend Ariel for any project knowing that the project will be a success and I’m certain to call upon ASR Design Studio in the future.

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.
