Ursula is a very friendly, professional, no-nonsense type of business-woman. She's not afraid to speak her mind ("I'm a designer not a magician", was one of my favorite quotes.) but whenever we insisted on something she saw that it happened. 
After several meetings she provided us with some diagrams of what the new rooms would look like, including possible materials. We spent a lot of time looking at tile samples, cabinet styles, and more. It took more effort and time than I expected but then again this was our first remodel. It doesn't happen as easily or quickly as you see on HDTV. 
We did have a problem in which we needed special brackets to hold a floating counter. After the first bid came back with an astronomical quote she did some research and found a metal fabricator who custom built the support brackets at a fraction of the cost. We were very pleased as this needed to hold up very heavy Ice Stone, which is essentially concrete slabs. 
Overall, the kitchen and bathroom turned out fantastic. The bathroom literally looks like something you'd see in a high-end contemporary hotel. The kitchen is very functional and looks amazing as well. She warned us that we will go over budget and it will take longer than we expect and she was right on both fronts.
I would recommend Ursula, even though she is more expensive than many others. What you pay for is more than 20 years of experience and someone who also has an architecture background.

Managing an interior design project from a bare shell, with the owners always traveling and taking care of every detail (budgeting, proposals, tradesmen, follow up and even receiving of purchases) is a task that not many people are willing and able to do. Ursula of Square One Interiors can make that happen. Ursula was extremely mindful of our pre-defined budget, always up to date with paperwork and the status of our orders and pending decisions, open to discuss suggest you the client but also tactfully advise you about your possible mistakes: these are just a few examples of the skills Ursula brought to our project. Her great taste, sense of humor, down to earth attitude, extensive inventory of providers and the capacity to really understand what we wanted and needed, resulted in a final product that exceeded our expectations and has consistently received praise from others. Her transparent work style makes easy a project that can be a nightmare if it is not well managed. We are not just happy with the final result, but also would have no hesitation recommending her to others and of course, working with her again on a future project. Many thanks, Ursula for creating a stylish, comfortable and functional home!!!

Ursula is the epitome of what an interior designer should be. I started the planning stages of remodeling my loft last year. I went to several design showrooms and was quickly overwhelmed with the multitude of choices. Ursula was recommended to me and when I met her, I was instantly impressed with her professionalism, organization and design sense. One of the many things that I liked about Ursula is how she listened and interpreted what I wanted into reality. The master bath and kitchen were two areas that we instantly collaborated on: she educated me on fixtures, tile and cabinetry that would work best and was spot on, with the results being spectacular. The guest bath was a bit more difficult: I had a vision of "modern" but didn't know quite what I wanted. I showed her a picture of what I liked and she told my why that particular design wouldn't work. She then found a patterned tile that was marvelous and then came up with 6 different designs and custom cabinetry that worked out better than what I originally wanted. Not all remodels go smoothly and there were a few hitches in my case but Ursula dealt with each one and was able to resolve things in a timely manner with a resolution that was perfect. Ursula was always on my side, looking after my best interest, delivering beyond my expectations and with the utmost in professionalism. With the remodel complete, I look around and cannot believe how beautiful everything turned out... it is so beautiful that I can't believe it is really my place... Thank you Ursula for making the process enjoyable and for making my dream loft a reality.

I can't imagine it going better. First and foremost, we share similar design aesthetics so I trusted the guidance I received. Ursula accommodated my tastes but still guided me away from mistakes. As important, she is extremely well organized. I always knew where we were in the process, thanks to the updated spreadsheets she would send regularly. I never felt pressured to spend more than my budget, but she advised me on where I should spend more (and she was right). She constantly thought of details I would have missed and regretted. In addition to sourcing and planning the project, Square One also coordinated shipping 32 cartons to Honolulu from SF and Los Angeles ports; no small feat! Everything arrived on time, without damage and was expertly delivered and installed. I have rehired her to help with a much larger remodel and I have recommended her to other friends.
