Client Testimonials

  • “We couldn't be more pleased with her work.”

    Leslie was recommended to us by our architect to assist in designing a handicapped accessible bathroom. We had limited space and needed to create an area where a wheelchair, lift, and shower chair could operate safely to aid in bathing. Leslie was wonderful. She is a very good listener and space planner. In addition, she guided us to the right tiles, colors, and details, coordinating everything with the subcontractors. As a result, we not only have a very functional bathroom but it's like a spa with a heated floor and towel rack. We couldn't be more pleased with her work and would highly recommend her for any project, not just bathrooms.

  • “Beautiful design and creative space planning."

    I've hired Leslie for multiple projects over the past 15 years, including guts of a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and the most recent being complete renovation of our master bath. She is a consummate professional and brings great ideas for making the best use of a space, with beautiful design and creative space planning. We are thrilled with our bathroom - a previously awkward space is now functional, with hugely enhanced storage and modern finishes. I consult with her regularly on paint colors, trust her instincts, and highly recommend her for any design project, large or small.

  • “Leslie's talents are abundant."

    Leslie's talents are abundant. She has an extensive resume to support her work experience. We have worked together for years and I always enjoy our projects. She has the ability to design keeping the clients wishes in mind and coming up with a twist to make each project unique. Anyone would be pleased with their results using Leslie's services.

  • “I couldn't be happier with her work."

    I thought the real estate community would like to know the quality of the design services provided by Leslie Driscoll and her firm Driscoll Design. I found Leslie to be totally responsive to my design needs. She is precise and creative and prompt in responding to her clients. I couldn't be happier with her work - in fact I have engaged her again for another project. She's the best!

  • “Everything we wanted and more.”

    I have worked with Leslie on several projects. She is excellent at space planning and creates CAD drawings/renderings that are incredibly helpful to me and my need for precision. Leslie has a great sense of space and how it can be used successfully. She is always positive and works really well with others.

  • “We feel very fortunate to have met you.”

    Thanks for continuing to do such a great job for us. We feel very fortunate to have met you. Your "hit ratio" in terms of "ideas presented" vs. "ideas accepted" is higher than with any other designers we have worked. We're going to miss you when this job is done.

    I could not have managed so well without your great spirit, expertise, enthusiasm, intervention skills and commitment to this unique business. Your contributions every week, kept me uplifted, positive and determined to continue to pursue my "dream" of creating a memorable experience for all our students and every guest who would walk through our doors. I could always rely on your to "take charge" with great eagerness and professional manner. You looked ahead and anticipated the daily needs of the build-out and paid specific attention to every detail on every level and it truly shines through!
