Marina Medina Design - Ottawa, Ontario

David S.

Five star all around! She will be designing our future second property! Marina is an excellent listener yet has a way of maintaining the design integrity, while incorporating client's views. Marina always maintains design principles, and although our house is small, the finished design is spacious and has good flow. She knows where to splurge and where to economize design elements. Marina is one of the most organized individuals I've ever met and never misses a beat. Our contractor said that she is the most organized designer he has ever worked with in his career. Her communication skills are top notch, and she is very responsive, helping stickhandle problems as they arise. Most of our interactions were online, although we had two site visits during the process. Working virtually was seamless. When we had a significant issue with one of the suppliers, Marina was quick to step in and effortlessly get us out of the contract, allowing us to move forward with a new supplier. She managed to bring charm, and a modern touch to a 90 year old house without loosing its character. The design cost was very fair and Marina stayed within the scope and budget. What a lovely person and great designer with a promising future ahead of her. We look forward to working with her again.

Marina was referred to me by a renowned Ottawa Custom home builder (Sanchez Homes Inc.). I had been affected by the tornado and there were so many repairs to be done to my house that was originally build in 2011. Not only there was water damaged but there were crack in the floors and my house was outdated and it did not reflect my taste and who I was. I had never worked with a designer before. It was a process, but Marina was the perfect designer to lead me through the process. Marina was attentive to my needs, to my fears and to my taste. Never did she impose any of her choices to me. She created a concept document that reflected my tastes after weekly design discussions. She was also a great intermediary between myself, the client, and the general contractor; I really felt that I was in good hands from start to finish with her. My project was extensive, and I fell so in good hands with Marina that I renovated all 3 floors of my house (4 bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, family room, study, etc.). She ensured that the design flowed from one floor to the next. The end results was EXACTLY what I was expecting. She is a great communicator, and she has strong work ethics. I highly recommend you Marina, you will not regret it!

We contacted Marina a little late into our home renovation for advice and guidance on design ideas and she not only took on the job, but was most helpful, courteous, and professional throughout the process. Her eye for detail, impeccable taste, and excellent recommendations became apparent as the work progressed. As we were new to this type of project, her patience and understanding of our needs was most appreciated. She regularly checked in with us, and even after the work was completed, put in extra effort to ensure we were pleased with the results. I highly recommend Marina Medina Design for all your design needs.

We recently worked on a project with Marina, and could not be more impressed! Her attention to detail, creative design and understand of our view for our home were met beyond expectations. She was very helpful in bringing all trades together to be on the same page, and ensured everything was properly documented for everyone to have a legend to follow.

Would highly recommend working with Marina!

Marina is excellent and I'd highly recommend her services for anyone looking to make a change in their home. We've used Marina for redesign of two kitchens and a complete gut/renovation of a second home. Her ideas are unique and the final product of her designs are always outstanding.
