About us

I am a NH based design consultant offering a number of services to property owners, developers, builders and architects. My work encompasses a variety of new construction designs, interior and exterior renovations and interior design. I strive to provide eye catching designs that work well for clients in residential and light commercial projects while maintaining a friendly ‘hands on’ approach. I truly enjoy the design/ build process and value the knowledge and expertise of other trades professionals. I believe the best projects come from this kind of mutual respect and true spirit of collaboration.

Kelly was extremely professional, met with us and understood our needs, gave us just what we wanted for a reasonable price. She understood working with a old house, and developed a plan which maintained its character while giving us more liveable space.
Description of Work: Drew up concept plans for our house renovation. Old (200+ years) house, kitchen/dining/laundry/mud room renovation.

We chose Kelley based on what we saw on her website as well as houzz.com. Her style was consistent with what we were looking for. Her recommendations were stellar. One of them included a prominent person who has used her for multiple projects, both commercial and residential. She is a pleasant person, who is knowledgeable and confident, but not overbearing. She has many resources and also desired to work closely with our contractor. (Our contractor is fond of her work as well, by the way.) She really listened to what we were saying, and successfully incorporated design elements that were important to us. She is intuitive and read our needs well. She is budget conscious. The final cost of her service was consistent with what she listed on her estimate. We highly recommend her and anticipate using her for further services once construction commences.
Description of Work: Designed a master plan for renovation for our home, which entailed moving the master bedroom over a garage, opening up the downstairs floorplan, kitchen expansion, mudroom, dormers. Provided 3D sketch models and Construction documents.

Contracted with Kelly for layouts and model views of addition, kitchen and master bath on my home. I requested 1. A covered porch; 2. Slider in Kitchen to let in afternoon sun with a Deck off kitchen, 3. Enlarger Master Bath with the elimination of the bath door to allow bed place against that wall. 4. Walk in master closet. Of the nine plans she submitted to me, only one had all the things I requested. When I ask for her to revise her billing before moving forward, she threatened me with a collection agency. I was not going to submit a report on her, but the Architect I have now hired is working with what I want, and for a set fee, -. I gave an F for the over all experience as she threatened with a collection agency.

Response from StudioKL
I have been in business since 2004 and this client relationship has been the only negative one I have ever come across. In retrospect there were a couple red flags early on that perhaps should have made me weary of taking on the project, however I don't like to turn anyone down. I agree that we seemed to have a difficult time communicating for some reason. I made many attempts to better understand her wishes. I offered various design solutions for her, but nothing seemed to please her. I found her feedback difficult to move forward with. She ignored my invoice for nearly 2 months so I did contact a collection agency. This is the only time I have ever needed to do this. In the end I agreed to take a good portion of the bill off in an effort to leave her happy with my service, and despite her promise note to, she still gave me a negative review. This was an unfortunate case.
