Design by The Jonathans - Darien, Connecticut

Our kitchen is gorgeous! Jonathan worked with us twice on the design to get it just right. We also sent several emails with "oh no what do we do now" and he always responded with kindness and helpful suggestions. One never knows what you'll find when you cut open walls in a home and it helps to have good designers and contractors you can rely on.

Best design team in the business! They have now completed 3 amazing design projects for my home, and I couldn’t be happier! Latest project was this incredible kitchen.

Working with Design by The Jonathans was a wonderful experience from beginning to end! The timeline, process and expectations were all explained to us right from the beginning which was very helpful. Working with our designer Michelle was fantastic. She worked with us from beginning to end to develop a dream kitchen that was functional and gorgeous! Michelle guided us on our shopping trips and picked out the perfect wallpaper and much more! Anyone interested in undertaking a major renovation will be in great hands with Design by The Jonathans.

We are so happy that we chose to work with Design by The Jonathans to design our new home. Monica Velez has been absolutely wonderful in carefully listening to our vision for our space and curating wonderful pieces to make our vision come to life.

David Rubin has been exceptional in working through any unexpected issues that inevitably arise, resolving everything expeditiously and professionally.

Everyone I have interacted with in the firm, including Renee, who first walked us through the design process, has been extremely kind, patient, and responsive.

10/10 recommend this wonderful design firm and its talented team!

Working with Lana Nguyen from Design by the Jonathan’s has been nothing short of an amazing process, from initial concept to end. It was a true partnership. The level of detail and expertise that Lana brought to the project was unparalleled, without compromising on our wants and needs for the space. She transformed our bathroom (a master bath gut reno that needed a ton of work) into a serene haven, one of the most gorgeous rooms I have ever seen. Throughout the process, Lana and her team were available to answer questions and deal with issues that came up during the construction phase, and often checked in to make sure that everything was going just right. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to work with true professionals, and Lana and her team were just that. The bathroom is a dream space, came out even better than we initially envisioned, and to say that we are obsessed with it is a true understatement. We look forward to working with Lana on future projects, and recommend Design by the Jonathan’s with the utmost confidence.

I have been working with Monica for. over 6 months and she checks all the right boxes. I unequivocally recommend her for any design project, big or small. She is attentive, patient and above all talented. We're still working together and at least on my part feel that we've formed a bond and good working relationship. She's the best!!! Joan Vadala

Seamless from start to finish. Monica was friendly, competent and so very patient every step of the way. My result is a beautiful new family room that I could not have envisioned without her.

Unprofessional and disorganized with lack of attention to detail. Many mistakes were made. Be careful before hiring this firm for design. They will deny any wrongdoing and blame the client. Happy to speak to anyone that has questions about my experience (photos and emails) if they have questions.
