Working with Carin from C. Elle Design Studio was an exceptional experience. As our designer, she assisted us in making meaningful improvements to our home. Carin demonstrated an impressive ability to understand and capture our personal taste, ensuring that her design choices reflected our preferences. One of Carin’s standout qualities was her attentiveness; she listened carefully to our needs and priorities. This allowed her to tailor her recommendations and solutions specifically to what we were looking for in our home. We particularly appreciated Carin’s creative use of our antique pieces, seamlessly blending them with new items. This thoughtful approach not only preserved the character of our existing decor but also refreshed the overall look of our space. Based on our experience, we highly recommend Carin to anyone seeking a personal designer. She brings professionalism, creativity, and genuine care to her clients, making her an excellent choice for design projects.

From beast to beauty, from chaos to control, Carin Elle Mead of C. Elle Design Studio brought my vision to a reality. She showed thoughtful attention to detail that transformed my space into something both beautiful and highly functional. Every element—from finishes and furnishings to layout and flow—was carefully curated to reflect my personal lifestyle, all within budget. What truly set Carin apart was her professionalism, excellent communication and leadership, especially when unexpected challenges arose. Her ability to problem-solve, coordinate trades, and keep the project moving forward with confidence made all the difference, controlling the chaotic beasty. I am absolutely thrilled with the result, the true beauty of a condo. She is a talented designer and a true professional, who exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend Carin Elle Mead and the C. Elle Design Studio team, who consistently go above and beyond for her clients. Thank you, Carin, for taking control of the chaos and turning a beast into a true beauty.

Carin was such a big help in selecting chairs to go with my beloved dining table. For several years I languished over replacing my chairs because I was afraid of making another mistake. Carin enters the picture and within one day the perfect chairs are found! I appreciated that she provided ideas and suggestions that I had not considered while keeping my vision in mind. I now have chairs that are not only stylish and well-made but comfortable as well. In addition, I found Carin to be personable, professional and easy to work with. I look forward to working with her on future projects!

We hired Carin and her team to help us through a whole home remodel, and we could not be happier with the entire experience or the result. The approach that C. Elle Design Studio takes is very unique and "white glove." They clearly care deeply about their customers and take immense pride in their work. At the beginning of the process, Carin listened carefully to our input and came up with a proposed game plan and design that was tailored to achieve our vision, which we approved after review and some minor tweaks. She and her team quarterbacked the entire remodel process for us, making it painless and (dare I say) fun, which was a sharp and welcome contrast to our prior experiences dealing with renovations of this magnitude. They ensured that all work was performed to their exacting standards, and made any corrections with no hassle and no questions asked (usually before we even noticed). Everyone on her team was very easy to deal with and clearly put customer satisfaction as their top priority. We are so happy with our new dream home, and will use C. Elle Design Studio for any future projects we have, no matter how big or small. We cannot recommend them enough!
