"She is amazingly quick at brainstorming and developing ideas. Having her over just to talk through stuff—even if you don’t have her draw designs—is totally worth it! She’s a very out-of-the-box thinker and very talented."

"She took the time to really understand our preferences and interests, and blew our minds with ideas for how to better use our space. She's also a super fun person to spend a couple of hours with."

"Evgenia is a powerhouse of ideas and creative energy! Walking through our house together, we saw it transformed through her eye for finding space where there isn’t much. We dug deep into a backyard design—working with the uneven and vertical terrain—and figured out ways to get as much usable, versatile space for entertaining and relaxing as possible, including a kid play area that will grow with our little ones into their teen years and beyond. We ended up having extra time and came away with a really sweet design for our kids’ bedroom as well!"

"Evgenia transformed the small space under the stairs into a functional bathroom. Her creative vision maximized every inch—incorporating storage solutions, salvaged stained-glass windows, and a clever sink set into the wall. Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, the ultimate compliment is that several architects have been surprised to learn the bathroom wasn’t part of the original 1922 home."

"Evgenia blew our minds! She had tons of fantastic ideas about how we could change our house to make it work better for us—for our family as we are, and our lifestyle as it is. At the same time, Evgenia worked to respect the character of our hundred-year-old house and keep the potential changes realistic and affordable."

"We worked with Evgenia on both interior and yard spaces (2x) to help with flow, feel, etc. She has a great knack for identifying the problems and then workshopping solutions with you. The downside is that I now have a million projects to work on!"

"Our entryway is formless, chaotic, and ugly. Evgenia gave me a plan that will make it inviting and usable. During our session, we had extra time. We were able to look at other rooms and come up with better flow options, extra storage, AND the beginnings of an idea to connect our living room to the kitchen. She's a gem."

“We were at our wits’ end with our home. Eight years. Four architects. Every design called for an addition we couldn’t afford. Then a friend recommended Evgenia—and she blew our minds. Somehow, she compressed the entire design process into one live session. With everyone in the room, we flew through a million different iterations, Evgenia sketching ideas in 3D as we went, and by the end we had a plan that included everything we wanted (plus a few things we hadn’t even thought to ask for), all within the original footprint of our house. A week later, we had floorplans and a full 3D model to hand off to our contractor and finally move forward with a remodel.”

"Evgenia has vision, creativity, and—most importantly—understands a home’s structure and its limitations, making her designs realistic to execute. Her unique perspective and ability to show designs is what I’ve found most helpful. She has a way of conveying ideas both visually and verbally that helps you see the finished work right there on the spot!"

"Evgenia was a joy to work with. In a little over an hour she dreamed up 5 different projects, complete with sketches, that will transform our little house into a cozy and space-efficient home. She's a superhero with magical 3D future livable space vision.”

"I wanted to see if we could add an extra room to our studio space, and she was able to come up with multiple layouts, finding the one that made the most sense for us. We did all of this via messenger and one phone call. It was the easiest and fastest process I have ever done. She is an amazing designer."

"I highly recommend Evgenia Messenger. I initially had her come out just to look at my kitchen, dining area, and yard. I then asked her for her thoughts on closet space in the bedrooms, and she ended up redesigning my whole house and backyard!"

"Evgenia did a really creative and exciting design for our main floor while also aligning with our need for something simple and relatively affordable. Her process is really cool and she was unphased by all our kid chaos when she came over to look at our space and learn about our goals for our house."

"I especially appreciated Evgenia’s energy—she shared sooo many ideas in a short period of time. We rearranged our kitchen right after she left and now have a plan to create a really cool dining space plus the most magical garden/play area in our yard for our kiddo and her friends."

"Evgenia blew my mind! I hired her just to help us reimagine our converted garage and a new office—but in that short period of time, she offered us solutions for storage under the stairs, a laundry room upstairs, maximizing our living room/kitchen area, and opening up our entryway! She has such an eye (and brain) for reimagining spaces—and she was just overall lovely to be around!"
