Sophie Girard Design

Sophie is extraordinary, she has the best aesthetic, attention to detail and design. She created my dream apartment! Sophie listens to her clients and incorporates the style/requests and feedback to her deisgns. She is the BEST.

Sophie was very diligent in overseeing a complicated project. House came out great, with clean design and modern lines. She went the extra mile working with the contractor and trades to ensure everything went smoothly.

We could not have been happier with Sophie's work! She designed some custom built furniture for our townhouse as well as a playroom for our kids. Sophie has an artistic eye and is very detailed oriented, she would not left any imperfections behind. She always took into consideration our requests as well as our budget. It is been three years since she completed the work and I would not change a thing in the look/functionality of the work she designed.

At our initial consultation, we had a general idea of what we wanted: a library/TV wall unit that had lighting and was connected to a dining banquette. Sophie was able to seamlessly connect our wall unit and dining banquette into a beautiful structure. She was also able to incorporate a desk covered by doors that slid into the wall unit when opened. This was great as we live in NYC and space is limited. After our consultation, Sophie came up with 3 concept ideas about a few weeks later. Each concept included floor, elevation and perspective plans. There were also a couple of inspiration images, which helped us to visually understand the desk idea with doors. Sophie seems to have a more modern style but she was open and respectful to our more traditional side. In the end, she designed a piece that we are very excited about. After the design phase, Sophie proceeded to the blueprints. Once they were finished, we headed into a project management phase at an hourly rate. Her cost was very reasonable and well worth it as there were so many details to pay attention to. For example, we couldn’t move any of the outlets due to concrete walls and she was able to stay on top of that with the woodworkers and electrician to have cut outs in the cabinetry to keep the outlets exposed. She is very responsive, detail-oriented and precise which I liked!

We loved working with Sophie. She did an amazing job transforming our Chelsea apartment into a beautiful modern space where we can escape the New York City craziness. Sophie's aesthetic is modern and minimalist and her attention to detail is brilliant. We were very impressed with her design skills as well as her project management capabilities. She was very helpful in navigating the minefield that a NYC renovation can be. We were also appreciative of her advice when it came to where to spend money in order to maximize the benefit given our budget. We couldn't recommend her more highly.
