Choosing an interior designer was a big decision, but working with Clair Strong has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. From our very first consultation, Clair was able to interpret my rather vague, poorly-articulated vision and shape it into something I couldn’t have imagined on my own. Through a process of frequent, two-way communication, she developed a cohesive, coordinated scheme for the entire house that has completely transformed its look and feel.”
Mark Ducker
