Testimonials


"A wealth of knowledge, experience, and creativity"

"Jessica Larsen is an amazing design professional. She brought a wealth of knowledge, experience, and creativity to our house design. Before we started the project, we gave her a few photos of what we were looking for and she designed a beautiful structure that fits the site perfectly. The home is well situated to take advantage of the views and natural light, while also taking into account window placement for privacy from neighbors. The floor plan is efficient and flows very well, with comfortably sized rooms and with minimal hallway/wasted space. Throughout the design process, Jessica was very responsive to our questions and needs, and she was prompt with making revisions and changes. She has a cheerful attitude that makes it fun to work with her. I would highly recommend Jessica Larsen to my friends and family."

"Very professional and stress free"

"Jessica was wonderful to work with. She carefully questioned me about my goals and desires for the project. She definitely made this my project, but with her professional input, advice, and knowledge. She worked with experienced, skilled carpenters who built our house. They have worked on many projects with many architects and only had high praise for Jessica. Her management of the project was very professional and stress free. I couldn't be happier with the whole project. She is a joy to work with!"

"Our dream home"

"We were fortunate enough to contact cJem Designs to help with a large home renovation in Asheville, NC. Jessica Larsen was extremely professional and brought ingenuity to the design. She was with us every step of the way and made a creative but functional design for our home. She took the time to get to know our family and what we wanted and needed from the design to make our dream home. I could not give a stronger recommendation for cJem Designs."

"Ensured our priorities were folded into each option"

"The personal touch provided by cJem far exceeded our expectations. Despite being geographically distanced from cJem, they invested the time to conduct 3 site visits to assess both our home, as well as the surrounding area to design initial drawings for our renovation. cJem was easy to work with as we provided feedback on the designs, and they ensured our priorities were folded into each option, as well. cJem helped us scope our project to keep us within budget, and would provide feedback on which concepts would stretch us too far. What we loved most about cJem is that the designs were extremely practical and maximized the use of small spaces to make your home both welcoming and efficiently designed. cJem's attention to detail, knowledge in design and construction, and hands-on involvement will make any homeowner beyond lucky to have the opportunity to work with them!"
