What clients are saying about their experience
with VGA Designs

“I would like to give my highest recommendation to VGA Designs. I personally worked with Vanessa Alo on the interior renovation of my condominium. She helped with paint, carpet, tile, lighting, flooring and furniture decisions. Vanessa was not only creative with her color and material choices, but thorough and detailed as well. Her professionalism was more than reassuring and certainly unwavering. I felt her keen eye for design did not detract from a practical sense of cost or functionality. I would not hesitate for a moment in referring VGA Designs for any interior design needs.”

“Having worked alongside Vanessa at numerous charitable events, I am constantly struck by her exceptional organizational skills and abilities. Vanessa has the unique ability to quickly size-up a challenge, and then just as quickly put in place a process/procedure and a solution that is efficient, cost-effective, and right-sized for the situation. Vanessa is a collaborative individual who seeks out input and she connects with people in a way that bring folks and ideas together to achieve a common goal.”

“I always felt I had a comfortable house, but I had no idea by strategically repositioning my existing furniture and accessories that I could have a beautiful home. I was extremely pleased with Vanessa’s eye for design and her ability to create an overall feeling of warmth and style.”

“I had VGA Designs redesign my backyard patio area. When I saw the finished product, I almost wept. I just loved it! I recently had a BBQ and everyone enjoyed the new layout. It was so comfortable that my guests did not want to leave. My backyard now looks like something that should be featured in Home and Gardens and became the backyard that I had always dreamed of.”

“My experience with VGA Designs was amazing. It was a difficult transition for me to go from a hospital into a board and care facility and to also give up my home. Vanessa just did everything for me – she went through my home and picked things that were perfect to include in my room at the board and care facility. I did not have to think of anything. She decorated my room with things that I love and cherish and also organized all my personal belongings. I have my mother’s lamp on my nightstand, which means a lot to me. It is just a joy to come into my room. I have all the things that I love around me. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend VGA Designs.”

“Vanessa is a very personable young lady who was eager to help. She assisted me in transitioning from my home to a room in my son’s home. She organized all my personal belongings and set up my room for me. I would recommend her very highly. She did an excellent job. I was very happy with her and would hire VGA Designs again.”

“Working with VGA Designs has been a great experience for me. Vanessa is very personable and easy to work with. She listened to my likes and dislikes and then put together some design choices to select from for a bathroom remodel. Vanessa's efforts gave me the comfort to know that whichever selection I made, it would have the stamp of a professional behind the design. The results were fantastic! I look forward to working with Vanessa on future design projects. Thank you VGA Designs for the wonderful remodel. Vanessa, you are the greatest! I hope to be calling you soon for the next project!”

“In April of this year we were just moving into our new house when a family emergency hit. Scrambling to complete the move so we could attend to our family, we stuffed our possessions into the house without much thought or care. A few months passed, and we found that we had never gotten around to properly organizing and arranging our new home. Now, months of living in chaos had piled up, and I was feeling very overwhelmed. I needed some professional help, but I was intimidated: Did 'normal' non-wealthy, working families ever hire interior decorators? Would the interior decorator judge the mess we had created, or turn up their nose when I requested that we buy interior design elements from Target?

I jumped on the internet to do some research and found Vanessa Alo from VGA designs. At the first consultation, I knew I had found the right person. My house was a mess, but she was personable and kind -- down-to-earth and approachable, with a keen eye for design and a hard-working ethic. She made the overwhelming task of organizing, shopping for, and redecorating our home seem manageable. She listened carefully to how we used our space, our likes and dislikes, and our budget limits and then poof! -- it was done. Well, actually it was a whole lot of work and time on her part, but it sure felt like 'poof!' from my perspective when I would come home from work to find my once disorganized and not-so-attractive space transformed into something both beautiful and functional. I started out thinking I would just do the office or my son's room and ended up having Vanessa do almost the whole house. (The only rooms she didn't touch were the kitchen, bath, and laundry room.)

So, the moral of the story is this: Vanessa is awesome. If you need organizing or decorating done, hire her! You won't regret it. Don't be nervous, embarrassed, or worry that 'people like you' don't have interior decorators, because Vanessa feels more like a really great, creative girlfriend who is available to help you out. Maybe she should change her tagline to: 'Design without the Diva' because that's what she is -- all the great, creative, wonderful things you need in an interior designer without all the snooty-attitude. Thanks, Vanessa!”
