Makkan was very responsive. Unfortunately, I had to cancel because I found out that we will be getting a new puppy in two weeks (We thought we would have to wait a year or more). I will definitely call once the puppy is grown and settled a bit.

When starting a remodel we weren't sure if we wanted a designer or not. After Almas came to our house we realized that hiring her would be a good idea. She was the second designer we met with on top of two or three contractors that we didn't like. She came with ideas and presented us with three different layouts before we even hired her. The other designer we looked at that was actually cheaper did not do this. They wanted to get paid before showing us any work or giving us any ideas. That was what sealed it for us. Almas and Makkan came prepared. She hired a great contractor who worked

Almas was absolutely amazing. We had just purchased our first home and wanted to remodel a bit. We explained how we wanted our home to look and she spent a ton of time drafting different ideas and working with us to make our space unique.
Can't thank her enough for her time and effort in making our home what it is!
