Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Alexandra Studio, under the guidance of designer Alex, provided an exceptional remodeling service for our kitchen.

Alex demonstrated a high level of innovation and vision, presenting a variety of budget-friendly options.

She efficiently integrated expert consultations, including cabinet specialists and structural engineers, while seamlessly cooperating with our chosen contractor.

The final outcome was outstanding, reflecting her adept recommendations and leaving us thoroughly satisfied with the transformative results.

We hired Alex as the interior designer during the remodel of our Piedmont home. Alex spent time getting to know our family to learn how we wanted to live in the space and then translated that to a beautiful home design. The Piedmont project was completed almost 10 years ago and the design choices remain current and modern and held up beautifully despite our 3 children and Pierre the cat. We worked with Alex again recently on a 2nd home and again with stunning results (and a very reasonable price point as we were sourcing the 2nd project on a strict budget). I would highly recommend working with Alex , she’s always able to take my vision and elevate it so the space feels personal but beautifully curated.

Working with Alex was a dream.

She transformed our inefficient kitchen into something fabulous and functional--where cooking and gathering can peacefully (or raucously!) coexist. Alex quickly understood our taste and helped to narrow down an overwhelming number of decisions. A truly caring and insightful guide, Alex is just lovely to work with.

Alex was great to work with - twice! She always has lots of creative ideas while listening to us and working within our constraints. The product is wonderful and the process was enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Alex has the perfect combination of great design sense and practicality. She has a great eye for creating beautiful spaces that flow, while always paying attention to the bottom line. We recently completed a whole house renovation with a redesign of the main living areas, primary bedroom and kitchen. Alex helped us reimagine the kitchen without changing the footprint (mostly) and somehow it feels twice the size. Same goes for the rest of the house. She’s easy-going and a great communicator and just a pleasure to work with! Couldn’t recommend her more!

-Siggy in Oakland

We hired Alex to help with our kitchen and basement renovation and found working with her to be effortless. She ensured our space was cohesive from a design standpoint, really beautiful, and also very practical (given we have three kids and a dog!). Alex is amazing. She has a keen eye, is incredibly personable, has a laid back energy, and perfectly balances asserting her opinions while also tuning into client's preferences and style. In addition, Alex really honored our budget constraints and helped us figure out where it made sense to splurge and where we could get away with more affordable options. And, she was incredibly flexible - willing to hop on a quick call to answer a few questions, meet on site, or organize a Zoom. We are so happy with the look and feel of our space and thoroughly enjoyed every interaction we had with her. We can't recommend her enough!

-Chantal in Oakland

Alex was a great partner in our kitchen remodel. She was responsive, understood our style and had great design suggestions, and provided some very useful connections to other providers. We would definitely work with her again on another project!

I truly can’t say enough about my experience working with Alex. After holding onto a 12-year vision to transform my very original 1964 midcentury ranch (pink bathtubs and all!), I wanted to preserve its midcentury bones while opening it up to create more connection with my boys and better spaces for entertaining. From our first conversation, I was drawn not only to Alex’s aesthetic but to the philosophy and experience she brings to her work, and she quickly gave me confidence that we could bring the vision to life within my timeline and budget. She guided contractor selection, presented beautiful concepts to refine the home’s tone, and offered layout solutions—especially for my primary bath—that I never would have imagined on my own. Throughout a complex remodel involving structural changes and temporary relocations, she remained steady, transparent, and focused on both the vision and the budget. The result is a light-filled, open kitchen, dining, and family space that truly brings our family closer together. It feels like an entirely new home, and I couldn’t imagine going through this journey with anyone else. Alex is exceptionally talented and someone I now consider a dear friend.

-Regina in Oakland

Alex is an incredible designer – amazing taste and a collaborative approach that makes her a joy to work with. We worked with her on a large renovation of our primary home and Alex did an amazing job elevating the design while staying true to its original midcentury architecture. Her ideas are both beautiful and functional, which we appreciate every day living in our renovated house. We could always count on her to point us in the right direction and avoid overthinking things. Even though I consider myself pretty design savvy, there were so many things we ended up implementing based on her recommendations that completely transformed the space. Her many years of experience were very helpful at the execution stage as well. We could not have done it without her!
