| Interior Redesign and Professional Organizing |
Are you looking for help in creating a better place for you to live and work? Are you tired of papers piling up and feeling crowded? Are you unhappy with the way your furniture is arranged or just want more color in your life? You know that you can do better but do not know what to do or where to start. Do you think you would benefit from someone looking at your place with fresh eyes and new ideas? If yes to any of the above, I can help you! Hello. My name is Helena. I am a professional artist, decorator, interior redesigner and organizer. I can bring new life to where you live or work. Together we can make your office or home into a place that truly serves your needs and preferences and enables you to make the most of your time. I can also help you figure out color and style schemes for your place. And I can help you organize to move in or out. When designing interiors I can work with any furniture you already have or integrate your old furniture and accessories with new items you wish to acquire. I cater my services to your needs and desires. I will work with you and your budget to create the best results possible whether organizing papers or rearranging the whole house. If you are interested in redesign it is more budget friendly and less time consuming than decorating from scratch. Redesign utilizes what you already have by rearranging it. My clients have been amazed with the results. If you wish to purchase all new furniture and decorate I can help you make choices in regard to new purchases and save you a bundle of money in the process. I can work on all projects from scratch and if needed I can draw layout plans to scale. I can also do research online or in person to help you choose and locate the very best available purchases. On top of the services I offer I am now also affiliated with a sub-contractor who is available to help me with large projects and specializes in the following services for home office, small business and busy households. He can assist with PC related data entry and computer hardware and software installation. He is familiar with Microsoft Excel, Word and many other software programs. He is also experienced and interested in Personal Assistant type tasks like shopping, handling merchandise returns, shipping, scheduling appointments, errands and more. He has vast experience in administrative tasks and is also an excellent driver. If you wish to contact Greg directly to assist you, just email him at gregwrites@aol.com. I have been a member of NAPO, and have over ten years of professional experience in helping out clientele with a variety of organizing, decorating and redesign needs. When desired I will use Feng-Shui principles. I work with your sense of style and aesthetics giving you professional opinions, hands-on assistance and guidance as you require. I live in Berkeley and offer my services in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like mentioned above, I offer both consulting and hands-on assistance. My services are designed with my clients based on their needs. My rates are usually hourly. If you work during the day, I offer evening and weekend sessions. I am a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and have training as well as over ten years of professional experience in interior design. I have a natural sense of order that makes organizing easy. I have been called a "Master of Color" and I constantly receive compliments on my ability to arrange and combine furniture and accessories in a beautiful yet functional fashion.

Directly below you will find photos of some of my completed projects. More photos and info can be viewed by clicking on the links above. INTERIOR DESIGN GALLERY: The pictures in this gallery are projects "from scratch". The rooms were previously totally unfurnished. Even the sconce was added. In this project some old furniture was combined with totally new purchases. This saved the client a bundle of money which made her very happy. |
