Ellen Goldman Falk Designs

Advice and suggestions were not worthy.

was a pleasant experience.

Ellen is a pleasure to work with. She has great taste and vision and even though we do not always agree on style (she is contemporary and I am traditional) unlike other decorators, she is non-judgmental and goes out of her way to locate materials that express my personal design preferences. I highly recommend Ellen.

Ellen is a very talented designer. Unfortunately, there has been no closure on the project. After putting several thousand dollars "on account" I have been unable to receive any invoices or a statement of account, although I have requested more than 10 times over the past eighteen months. I am still owed a few items, as well as some funds, and the designer has failed to respond to my repeated inquiries.

I hired Ellen to provide input into the design of my bathroom, as well as help pick out tile for my kitchen. Unfortunately, her business model is to resell product, which unfairly puts her incentives at odds with my own. The result was I was paying her to hunt for the products (that perhaps look expensive) that she could charge me a premium for. She would spend time (and my money) to find alternative products to one I was happy with in hopes of charging me a bigger spread. I was left with the feeling that she was not looking out for my interests. In the future, if I hire a designer, I would be clear upfront that I would not buy product from them.

I am happy with her and the work she is doing. She is doing a great job. Work is not done.

Ellen has an abundance of talent and ideas. In addition, she is an engaging person who is easy to work with. I look forward to continuing our association and recommend her highly.
