“I would recommend One Design without hesitation. Allison was able to marry the style and age of my home with my personal design preferences to great effect. She managed to modernize the feel of my spaces while working with the 100-year old Craftsman architecture.

Thanks to Allison, I was able to transform an underutilized guest room into a fabulous home office and guest room without sacrificing design and functionality. Allison was able to transform the vague ideas I had in my head into a cohesive style and was able to turn my specific needs (for example, my home office requirements) into a highly-functional design. Allison is very responsive, which was critical in moving the growing list of projects in mind forward. She is also able to quickly pivot to alternatives when roadblocks, like supply chain issues and unexpected infrastructure challenges, come up.

Allison's designs have been universally praised by family and friends for both design and functionality.  Allison's designs go well beyond simple redecoration and incorporate actual improvements, adding value to my home. “

"I cannot recommend Allison Sutherland more highly. My wife and I hired Allison to remodel a bathroom in our home and she delivered excellent results. She has an instinctive eye for design and did a great job collaborating- we never felt like she was forcing her ideas on us. The remodeled bathroom fits the 1940's-era architecture of our home (with some nice contemporary, custom elements). We get compliments on the bathroom all the time.

Allison is attentive, detail-oriented, provides exemplary customer service and, above all, she's a very, very talented designer. I'm currently working with her on a facelift for a commercial property in Westwood and I look forward to seeing the finished results."

“Allison has an innate sense in her design work that helped me blend my lifestyle with both the aesthetic and function of how I wanted to use my space.  She is really knowledgeable about the design movements and how to apply them, but she is not to any specific style when she goes about her work.  I really appreciate Allison’s approach.  She worked with me to identify the right style (blend of styles), design, and approach that fit me, how I live, and my personality... even down to the fine details like fonts on lettering and artwork (I have one of her pencil sketches of an eagle feather in my office).  She is both a great designer and an amazing artist.”

“Allison Sutherland is not only a gifted and talented designer, but also knowledgeable and experienced. She has an intuitive knack for knowing how to marry beauty and functionality, while deeply attuning to the needs and wants of both you and your space. I highly recommend Allison’s services for anyone wanting to elevate how they live and breathe in the space of what we call home.”
