We just finished our home renovation with Ju in Upper East Side of Manhattan. It was a very challenging gut renovation project. From the design to the execution of the project, Ju was on the top of everything including the project management. Considering we are in a very difficult circumstances such as high inflation and supply chain issues, Ju and her team delivered the project on time with no issue. We highly recommend Ju and her team for any architectural and interior projects.

I worked with Ju Kim on a project on West 61st street and it was a real pleasure to work with such a professional. I have been designing homes for over 35 years and worked with a lot of designers but working with Ju was an amazing experience. The project was finished on time and the client was very happy. I would recommend Ju and give her 5 stars.
