We worked closely with Edam and his design team to do a refresh of our restaurant and cottages. They listened to our desires and delivered a redesign that was better than anything we could have imagined! Seeing their visions come to life was such a magical experience. They held our hand every step of the way presenting options for everything from paint colors, wallpaper, window treatments, furniture to practical storage ideas and menu presentations. Overall, it was a wonderful experience :) We would love the opportunity to work with IDF again in the future! A million thanks for all your hard work and dedication Edam, Laura and team! read less

We did a medium-sized home remodel in San Francisco with IDF. Being rookies to this process, we didn't even realize until half way through our planning that we needed interior design help -- we thought our architect could do it all. But when it became clear that our architect wouldn't be able to assist with picking materials like faucets, tiles, counters, etc., we reached out to several interior designers. We found IDF to be by far the most professional of any of the firms we interviewed.
Edam and his team reviewed our architect's plans and immediately suggested a better arrangement for our kitchen with different placement of a door between the kitchen and dining room than what our architect had originally designed and permitted. We very much agreed with his input. This necessitated a new set of permits from the City, but was a change well worth making.
Edam provided a timeline and a budget for their services, and kept to both. The firm is far from inexpensive, but the level of service is excellent. Design proposals were professionally prepared and presented, and feedback was promptly incorporated.
We appreciated Edam's decisive and forthright manner and good sense of humor. He was really a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. read less

I got connected with Kassin by our real estate partner and talked her through my project. I was on a pretty tight budget and also thought we could do some tweaking with the furniture we currently had, but knew this was out of my realm of expertise. Kassin partnered me up with Edam and Laura who met me on site to assess the office and talk through my budget and goals. They were wonderful partners, keeping it scrappy where we could, providing guidance on where I should invest, and quickly revising their design proposal when something wasn't quite right. The positive feedback we've gotten from our returning employees has been the reassurance that I made the right choice in partnering with IDF for this project. Thanks for making me look good, gang! read less

This was the first time working with a designer, so I was very diligent in my search. After reaching out to various designers, a friend luckily put in touch with Kassin. At that time, we were still office hunting and she was beyond patient with us in our search. When we landed our new space, Kassin connected us with Ashley Banash, our lead designer on the project. Ashley understood exactly what we were looking for and was very open to feedback. She made it very easy to make decisions without any pressure. She gave us the prefect layout and flow and did such an amazing job representing our vision and culture, all while working on a very tight budget. Ashley was such a pleasure to work with! I absolutely recommend IDF and look forward to working with Ashley and her team on our next office space in 2019! read less

Our condominium association was very much in need of a re-do of the lobby and library areas. We interviewed several design firms and IDF was, by far, the one we chose and we made the right decision to be sure.

Actually, all of the people we worked with at IDF (Kassin, Ashley, Rachael and others) were wonderful to work with excellent vision in design We were on a fairly tight budget for the project and Kassin and Ashley were very open to working with us within our budget. They were patient and understanding of the pressures we were under and had wonderful design ideas for furniture, accessories and color schemes. They were very flexible in their approach and very accommodating. Ashley was always accessible by phone and gave us good ideas to create a really comfortable and inviting environment.

Ashley Banash was our designer for the project and she was so professional and extremely easy to work with. She listened to what we wanted while still making her own suggestions, but did not push any ideas onto us that we were not comfortable with. She was always open to our ideas and tried to incorporate those as much as she could into her own design. IDF and Ashley were able to bring the vision we had for our space to life and we are extremely pleased with the outcome! I would absolutely recommend IDF and Ashley to anyone looking to redesign their space and work with professional and collaborative designers! Thank you IDF for making our work space feel like home! read less

I approached several interior design firms during the early phase of my construction project. Half of them were pleasant but had ridiculously high spending requirements while the other half seemed really smug so I was initially discouraged.
I continued my search and stumbled upon IDF Studio, and everything was smooth sailing from there! IDF's website exuded high quality and approachability, and I think it was the company's mission statement that spoke to me (which sadly I no longer remember). I reached out and was scheduled an initial meeting with Kassin (founder/CEO), who I found very personable. Kassin and I discussed the project and she explained what the process entailed, told me that she would pair me with a lead designer who she believed would work well with me. Little did I know Kassin's pairing skills would be on point!
A few days after we signed the proposal, my husband and I met with our lead designer, Jaclyn, and associate designer, Ali. We talked to them about what we liked, the style we're going for, budget, expectations, etc. Jaclyn and Ali were both very friendly and good-humored. I especially felt like I was talking to my really close friends during our initial meeting. After they left, I told my husband I liked them already!
Jaclyn was my main go-to person throughout the project. It was real fun working with her because she is super talented and has exceptional taste! Whether Jaclyn was presenting a design aesthetic or suggesting which tiles or flooring materials to choose, I always found it difficult to make a decision because all her suggestions always looked good! Given that I was so indecisive and had a limited budget, Jaclyn was always patient with me and was always there to help me make the right decision. I always looked forward to my calls/meetings with her and she really helped keep me grounded so that I continued to enjoy the process instead of become overwhelmed. Jaclyn also had this talent of ensuring you make a decision you would not regret. When I look around our home, I cannot find anything in it I do not love! Jaclyn incorporated all the quirky requests my husband and I had into the aesthetic of our home and created a home that speaks our personality and suits our lifestyle.
Ali was a delight to work with. She was always there to help even at a moment's notice. I remember calling her one day because the supplier no longer carried the white countertop we originally selected so we had to choose another white countertop. There were so many shades of white countertops to choose from, my head was spinning! I was pressed for time and had a deadline so Ali ran down to meet me at the store within the hour so that I could order ASAP! Ali also helped me with the most intricate details of the project ranging from the grout and paint colors to deciding which side the strings of the roman shades should be on! She took care of the smallest details without fail so that I did not have to stress over it!
I could go on and on and say many positive things about Jaclyn and Ali but this review will never end! Overall, our project was a complete rebuild of our home which took almost three years to complete starting from the planning phase. Though occasionally hectic and sometimes stressful, I found the process of rebuilding our home to be an educational and really enjoyable experience thanks to IDF! Jaclyn and Ali always meant business and were always so efficient, but still managed to keep the experience fun, productive and light-hearted during stressful times!!
I highly recommend IDF! We were very pleased with our decision to work with them and I cannot imagine doing another project without Jaclyn and Ali! read less
