“We met Mickey in 1997 on our first project and have used her exceptional design skills on 2 homes here in Houston. We gave her complete control of both projects and she was not only able to understand our wants, needs, dreams and desires, but she was fully capable of executing them on both projects with the builders, their subs, and all the other contractors involved in such large projects.
We were confident in turning over control of our projects to Mickey because of the professionalism and enthusiasm she exuded from our first meeting. Her passion for her profession was immediately evident and her energy was hard to resist.
For them, no client is overlooked and no project is too small or too big. Everyone works together learning about the clients as individuals, how they live and function in the space so that their home grows with them as a family.
Our home is every bit the reflection of us with all the benefits of a professional designer.Without hesitation, we would recommend Mickey to anyone looking for a designer that could provide them with the highest level of service and style."
