"Sherry helped us with numerous decisions concerning the redecoration of our home. We found her to be a talented designer who puts much thought, time, energy and sensitivity into her client's needs.
She understands the importance of working within the client's budget, providing many ideas and suggestions that are aesthetic as well as pragmatic. We most highly recommend her."
...Sylvia and Dennis Harp, Almaden Valley
"Working with SJ Designs gave us the opportunity to see potential in our home that we had never seen before. Sherry's ability to understand our needs and translate them into ideas, floor plans and design boards was inspiring. This enabled my husband and I to make our biggest home financial decision to date. Thanks for being such a great resource!"
...Pam and Charles Souza, San Francisco
"Sherry was invaluable in finding the right color for difficult situations in our house. Though we were very much of the '"do it yourself" mindset, and had spent many hours on our own researching and testing color combinations for all of the rooms, some of the problems defied solution - most importantly, the master bathroom. Sherry was able to assess the situation, understand our tastes and objectives, and identify a special color for the bathroom cabinetry that worked perfectly. In addition to her skills as a designer, Sherry also brought another set of skills to our project - the ability to serve as an advisor, facilitator and negotiator through the process of implementation with our contractor. Sherry has tremendous experience and abilities in "human relations and project management."
...Mary and Barry Medoff, Palo Alto
"Sherry has helped us in many ways - interior design, ideas, sourcing, etc. In addition, Sherry is one of the best women we've known combining artistic talent with business acumen. She approaches projects with discipline, structure, deadlines and cost-management. We know from having worked with Sherry in the corporate world, and we know having worked with Sherry in her more artistic endeavors."

"Thank you for all your efforts and vision to make our home as elegant as it is today. From the bare walls and construction, it was transformed into a palace that we are proud of. I appreciate the hours you spent to select the paint, moldings, carpeting, colors, wallpaper, drapery and fixtures. Our home is truly a showplace I always dreamed it could be."
...Murray and Barbara Simpson, Atherton
"The room you worked on for the ASID 2003 showhouse was beautiful beyond belief - truly outstanding! The design and color scheme and the way everything was integrated, from the many antiques and outstanding window treatment, to the faux finish on the walls- it was perfect. " "The staging you did for my home prior to the party was exceptional and so creative!"
...Sandra Westin, Palo Alto/Cabo San Lucas
"She has excellent ideas and does not push you to buy goods through her, nor to do things the way she imagines them. She gives you ideas for designs and changes you can make. She is respectful of your taste and really works around your schedule, especially when you have small children - I would highly recommend her."
