It starts with a blank page, but as we add layers to our designs through from sketches to electronic drawings and 3D modeling, you will see it come to life and understand what it will look like before construction begins. Our full services include construction documentation to eliminate ambiguity in construction or room for error in the build. We conduct site meetings to ensure the project is going according to plan.
A Designer Trusted Across Every Scale
“I have worked with Fay on three projects. One was for a retail space for my business, one was for my current residence, and the other plan was for a residential property I was considering purchasing. In all cases, Fay brought professionalism and organization to the projects, giving me the utmost confidence in her ability to execute within budget and on schedule.
Fay has a wonderful ability to envision changes, including room/space reconfigurations that I would have never considered, resulting in optimal use of space tailored to how I live/work and what I prioritize.
Fay has exceptional vision across all aspects of design. This vision is infused into design proposals that are original, tasteful and imaginative. Her decades of experience, deep knowledge of materials and systems, and her network of experts in architecture and industrial design give her a unique ability to envision and design a project as a whole.
Fay’s process involves interviewing and listening closely to her clients unique needs to ensure a solution-based approach to her designs, where she provides more than one option.”
Global Standards, Thoughtfully Designed
“Fay was brought on to redesign our office in the historic Marine Building, a compact space that needed to be both highly efficient and aligned with Edelman’s global brand standards.
Fay delivered beautifully on all fronts. She quickly understood our needs and constraints, sourcing furniture and finishes that respected our New York head office design guidelines, stayed within budget, and arrived on time. She brought forward smart, thoughtful ideas and executed with precision and professionalism throughout the process.
The result was a sleek, modern, and welcoming workspace—one that our team genuinely enjoyed being in. Despite the small footprint, Fay maximized function without sacrificing style, creating an environment that supported productivity and reflected Edelman’s brand.
Fay is easy to work with, solutions-focused, and highly efficient. I would happily work with her again and recommend her to any organization seeking a creative, capable, and detail-oriented design partner.”
Thoughtful Design + Real-World Insight
“Fay helped me design my first office for my engineering consulting firm, and the experience was excellent. She was patient and thoughtful, taking the time to guide me through the entire process. I especially appreciated her strong attention to detail and how she proactively raised not only design ideas, but also potential implementation and budget considerations. She listened carefully and respected both the style and functionality that matter most to me. I would gladly recommend her.”
Spaces Shaped Around Life
“Fay truly listens and took time to understand what we wanted and how we live. Her depth of expertise showed in layout decisions, choice of materials and furniture. Fay’s ability to blend function, beauty and personality into the design made it a perfect fit.”

From Home to Brand - Exceptional Results
“Fay helped with a renovation in our home and it turned out beautifully. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the work she does. Because of that experience, I’ve had her help with our clothing line and referred her to a client for a major renovation, both projects were a big success. Fay is someone I trust and happily recommend.”

A Designer Who Truly Listens
“Unlike any designer we had used in the past, Fay spent considerable time learning about our taste, rather than telling us what was 'in' and what she thought would be good for us.”

Imagination, Down to the Details
“Fay brought that picture in our imagination to life. She listened to our ideas, made suggestions, and cautioned us on ideas that were not viable. Fay has an eye for details that I still notice today, 12 years later.”
