"Evgenia was a joy to work with. In a little over an hour she dreamed up five different projects, complete with sketches, that will transform our little house into a cozy, super-space-efficient home. She's a superhero with magical 3D future livable space vision."
— ANNA HENNINGSGAARD
“We were at our wits’ end with our home. Eight years. Four architects. Every design called for an addition we couldn’t afford. Then a friend recommended Evgenia—and she blew our minds. Somehow, she compressed the entire design process into one live session. With everyone in the room, we flew through a million different iterations, Evgenia sketching ideas in 3D as we went, and by the end we had a plan that included everything we wanted (plus a few things we hadn’t even thought to ask for), all within the original footprint of our house. A week later, we had floorplans and a full 3D model to hand off to our contractor and were finally able to move forward with our remodel.”
—LEE AND KAREN SUTHERLAND
“Evgenia helped my clients gain instant clarity on how to improve the floor plans in older/outdated Seattle homes — and she did it in under 90 minutes. She’s incredibly quick, has such a great personality, and her 3D floor plans make it so much easier for clients (and contractors) to visually understand what’s possible. Her work gave my clients real peace of mind and helped streamline the whole process so we could confidently estimate budgets before submitting offers. Highly recommend Evgenia for her expertise, speed, and genuinely amazing energy especially before buying or selling their home.”
— KEANNA MENDOZA
"I wanted to see if we could add an extra room to our studio space, and she was able to come up with multiple layouts, finding the one that made the most sense for us. We did all of this via messenger and one phone call. It was the easiest and fastest process I have ever done. She is an amazing designer."
— CAITLIN IBARRA
“We had such a wonderful experience working with Evgenia! We used Evgenia’s design service while house hunting — she walks through homes with you in real time, reconfiguring spaces and showing how everything could work. Thanks to her, we were able to make offers confidently, knowing we could add bathrooms and rework layouts to fit our needs. She went above and beyond for us—always willing to walk through homes on short notice and never missed a single detail. She truly listened to what we wanted and offered thoughtful, creative ideas we hadn’t even considered. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine care made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable. Evgenia makes you feel like you’re her only client (very rare these days) —she’s attentive, proactive, and incredibly easy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to bounce ideas off of while searching for our next home. And her 3D renderings of potential new layouts are insanely accurate and easy to digest. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who’s as sharp as she is kind!”
—NOAH SCHORR
“Evgenia was really great to work with. She has an amazing talent for seeing hidden potential in spaces and provided so many ideas and options that we never would have considered on our own. Really enjoyed our session.”
— ZOE BOROZNY
"The ideas we went in with are pretty much out the window and we now have a new plan that will give us a more cohesive layout. I will say, speed design is like drinking from a fire hose!"
— PAT BEURSKENS
"Evgenia did a really creative and exciting design for our main floor while also aligning with our need for something simple and relatively affordable. Her process is really cool and was unphased by all our kid chaos when she came over to look at our space and learn about our goals for our house."
— DEBORAH PURCE
"We worked with Evgenia on both interior and yard spaces (2x) to help with flow, feel, etc. She has a great knack for identifying the problems and then workshopping solutions with you. The downside is that I now have a million projects to work on!"
— JASON THIBEDEAU
"She is amazingly quick at brainstorming and developing ideas. Having her over just to talk through stuff — even if you don’t have her make models of the design — is TOTALLY worth it! She is a very out-of-the-box thinker and very talented."
— MEGAN NIKIEMA
"She took the time to really understand our preferences and interests and blew our minds with ideas for how to better use our space. She's also a super fun person to spend a couple of hours with."
— HANNAH BOLIVAR
"Our entryway is formless, chaotic, and ugly. Evgenia gave me a plan that will make it inviting and usable. During our session, we had extra time. We were able to look at other rooms and come up with better flow options, extra storage, AND the beginnings of an idea to connect our living room to the kitchen. She's a gem."
— SHERI M. HINSHAW
"My backyard is going to be so beautiful! I never imagined a design like this, you really are so talented. I can’t wait for our next project!"
— STEPHANIE SCHLOREDT
"I was amazed at how quickly Evgenia was able to analyze the situation and devise a plan to add a ton of much-needed storage to my home — all the while somehow making the whole experience feel super easy and fun. Afterwards, she worked quickly to get me the completed model and floor plans to give to my contractor so I could finally begin my remodel!"
— LEANNE YANDAS
"Evgenia instantly saw the possibilities for my kitchen and is a mastermind at refiguring space! She was kind and patient with my many questions and really heard what I needed and wanted as she designed my dream kitchen! A very talented designer — I was lucky to find her!"
— STACEY STARK
"Evgenia was great! Really helped me visualize ideas for my backyard that I hadn’t considered before. I definitely recommend reaching out to her!"
— JOE MACIAS
"I thought I wanted to remodel my kitchen. Evgenia wanted to know the big picture house plan and from that she came up with a way to fit an extra bathroom AND a walk-in closet for our 850 sq ft main floor! It was from this vision that I was able to get bids from contractors and make our tired, storage-limited, 1950s house into what feels like a brand new home. She is a wizard at making spaces more functional and beautiful and I'm super grateful for her work!"
— LARKSPUR LANGSTON
"We worked with Evgenia on both interior and yard spaces (2x) to help with flow, feel, etc. She has a great knack for identifying the problems and then workshopping solutions with you. The downside is that I now have a million projects to work on!"
— JASON THIBEDEAU
"Evgenia came out to our house today and in quick order gave us an amazing vision for our house and front/back yard. I highly recommend her for anyone needing design help!"
— BRIAN RICHARD
"I just had another plan created by Evgenia (this time it was our front yard and entry stairs area) and wanted to recommend her work. She is a wizard at making spaces more functional and beautiful."
— LAURA ANNA
"I loved working with Evgenia! Even if you don’t need floor plans or a model, it's totally worth it to have her come see your space and help you clarify your own priorities/needs/vision for your home."
— KAT TEWSON
"If you're looking for speed design to get you thinking in new ways about your living space, indoors or out, Evgenia is a powerhouse of ideas and creative energy! We walked through our whole house and saw it transformed with her eye for finding space where there isn’t much. We dug deep into the backyard design, finding a way to transform the uneven terrain into a versatile space for entertaining and relaxing — We even came away with a really sweet design for our kid's bedroom."
— REBECCA ALLEN
"I highly recommend Evgenia Messenger. I initially had her come out just to look at my kitchen, dining area and yard. I then asked her for her thoughts on closet space in the bedrooms and she had great ideas for that as well! She redesigned my whole house and backyard! I never would have thought of some of the ideas she suggested — they are really amazing!"
— KELLIE KING
"I just spent the morning with Evgenia, who jumped right in, full of ideas and excitement, and left me with several great options to ponder. She kept the things I love about our space and suggested changes I hadn’t ever imagined. So much fun to work with!"
— KATE McGLONE WEST
"We had just an hour and a half appointment for my backyard, but got a lot done and she has ideas that had not occurred to me. Now I’m inspired to get started on my yard instead of feeling overwhelmed!"
— BELLEN DRAKE
"I especially appreciated Evgenia’s energy — she shared sooo many ideas in a short period of time. We rearranged our kitchen right after she left and have a plan to create a really cool dining space + create the most magical garden/play area in our yard for our babe + her friends."
— RACHEL BRODY
"I want to highly recommend Evgenia for her fabulous skills on designing and optimizing small spaces! She had so many wonderful ideas and suggestions, many of which we can implement quickly and easily, as well as more in-depth projects for the longer term. I never could have imagined any of these ideas on my own, all of which will make our small space more livable and enjoyable!"
— MEAGHAN REIDER GUTERMAAN
"Evgenia gave us a great redesign for our kitchen and backyard that delivered on our wants. During the walkthrough, she found solutions to problems that we had resigned to deal with and it gave us a much more functional space for our growing family!"
— JIEUN KIM
“I met with Evgenia who jumped right in, full of ideas and excitement, and left me with several great options to ponder. She kept the things I love about our space and suggested changes I hadn’t ever imagined. So much fun to work with!”
—KATE WEST
“Evgenia was truly incredible - not afraid to challenge us to the point of discomfort but in the end we are SO GLAD she did. We had thought that we had a kitchen design nailed down and wanted to just double check with a professional to make sure the details were right. Evgenia came in and flipped the script on its head. We ended up with a kitchen design we both are fully in love with instead of one that we thought we had to settle on!
—MAX WINDERBAUM
"Evgenia blew my mind! I hired her just to help us reimagine our converted garage and a new office — but in that short period of time, she offered us solutions on storage under the stairs, a laundry room upstairs, maximizing our living room/kitchen area, and opening up our entryway! She has such an eye/brain for reimagining spaces! And she was just overall lovely to be around!"
— ASHLEY PHARIS NIENA
"Evgenia blew our minds! She had tons of fantastic ideas about how we could change our house to make it work better for us — for our family as we are, and our lifestyle as it is. At the same time, Evgenia worked to respect the character of our hundred-year-old house and keep the potential changes realistic and affordable."
— ANNA M.
"We hired Evgenia to help open up our kitchen and rethink a huge wasted hallway space. She warned us she might re-envision the whole house — and she wasn’t kidding! She proposed a layout that sounded crazy at first but gave us a master suite, home office, larger dining room, a proper entryway with storage, and a large kitchen that now all opened out onto the backyard — which was the reason we bought the house in the first place. She somehow achieved this without moving structural walls or major plumbing! Though we were initially skeptical, her floor plan and visualizations knocked our socks off. She is seriously talented at re-envisioning space!"
— SOLEIL LUKE
"She has vision, creativity, and most importantly, understands a home structure and its limitations, making her designs realistic to execute. Her unique perspective and ability to show designs is what I have found most helpful. She has a way of conveying her ideas both visually and verbally that help you 'see' the finished work right there on the spot!"
— FLORA FLEET, BROKER WITH WINDERMERE
"Evgenia Messenger does high-level design work, helping you explore ideas to bring to a contractor or architect. We spent a couple of hours pointing out the problem spots in our house, and she came up with great solutions for storage, efficiency, and everything we needed. As a mom, she really understood our family’s needs and knew how to work within practical constraints like plumbing and structural walls."
— MARIE QUASIUS
“Evgenia Messenger took on our backyard challenge—complete with seven different levels, a wild mix of surfaces, and even a gaping hole where the garage used to be—and listened to our wish list. Then she came up with a design plan that’s not only creative and stunning, but also totally doable. She saw the potential when we could barely see a yard—we can’t wait to bring it all to life!
—KELLY CHAVEZ
"Having spent years in our house and imagining what 'could be,' I've never thought of the innovative shifts that she came up with (all within 1.5 hours)! Evgenia is efficient, knowledgeable, and collaborative."
— ELENA SANCHEZ
"Evgenia transformed the small space under the stairs into a functional bathroom. Her creative vision maximized every inch-incorporating storage solutions, salvaged stained-glass windows, and a clever sink set into the wall. Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, the ultimate compliment is that several architects have been surprised to learn the bathroom wasn’t part of the original 1922 home."
— WILLIAM QUIGLEY
"Evgenia created the most ideal kitchen scenario for us that we could ever imagine, and got us up off our butts after five years of waiting around and going through five different iterations of designs. She’s an absolute visionary with an incredible eye for spaces. After the kitchen project, I had her come back and rework my laundry room — giving her a long list of components I wanted, knowing that I was never going to get all of them — but she blew me away and actually managed to include all of them — and have it look amazing as well. I can’t recommend Evgenia highly enough. She is fun and ridiculously talented."
