Linda Homayoun

I am a property manager in La Jolla California. This was the first time I worked with Andrea May to "refresh" a vacation rental which we manage and which she had originally decorated 5 years prior. Andrea is not only very professional in her work and detail oriented, but she was always on time and respectful of my time as well. She has great taste and knows what materials and colors work well with the beachy environment in which the unit is located. Andrea went out of her way to work overtime with different vendors and appeared to have a very good professional relationship with them. I am very happy I met Andrea and it was a pleasure working with her and I will definitely recommend her to my other clients.

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Many thanks for your kind words, Linda! It was a pleasure working with you on this refresh and your professionalism, responsiveness and organization made the process seamless. Likewise, I would definitely recommend you personally and Harland Property Management to friends, family members and clients. Thank you again!

Mary Lasco

Andrea was professional, punctual, on budget and we received excellent follow up after the consultation. Andrea was very straight forward with reasoning for her thoughts and answers as opposed to the decorators that we previously hired. A true value.

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Thank you, thank you, Mary! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Dave on your beautiful project.

Michael Serdy

Andrea made the process of remodeling seamless from beginning to end - presenting design choices without overwhelming us with too many options, getting all necessary permits from the city, arranging for all necessary engineering, even overseeing the build and quality control. We couldn't recommend her any more highly.

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Thanks so much for the kind words, Mike. It's always a pleasure working with you and Kelly!

Lisa Kornfeld

Andrea is an excellent designer to partner with - she has a great eye and has nurtured excellent relationships with wholesale design centers, and craftspeople/installers who are the best at what they do. On top of that, she is very intuitive and quick to pick up on your own aesthetic and quirks and is adept at providing excellent options to match, but also occasionally gently pushing you to reconsider your pre-conceived notions just enough to ensure the result is nothing short of fabulous. On top of that - she is always aware of your budget and particular circumstances. Couldn’t be happier with the work she’s done for me which includes paint colors, furniture and rug selection, art selection, framing and hanging, decorative object staging, and indoor plant selection.

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Lisa, it's such a pleasure to work with you and Gregg! Not only is it a huge treat for me to have the opportunity to work on your historic 1890s Eastlake home--but collaborating with you both to tell your story through your incredible collections, eclectic furniture and art from your many travels has just been fantastic. I've really enjoyed our work together and immensely appreciate the trust you put in me.

Britney Ewing

Andrea has a keen eye and really helped me with the finishing touches to my home. I love her creative thinking and the way she prioritizes where to take risk and where to purchase more conservative pieces. She quickly developed a feel for my style and made excellent suggestions.

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Britney, it has been a pleasure working with you and Jeff on your beautiful home. I especially loved collaborating with you both on the feature wall of commissioned paintings for your billiard room. This is the kind of thoughtful approach I really appreciate as it try represents my Slow Luxe Design philosophy of mindfully adding quality pieces by local artisans to create spaces that tell your story. Thank you for your trust.

Teresa and Bob Salkin

Andrea is a true professional: she has experience and knowledge with color that makes a big difference in any environment you are creating. Her help makes you realize how important the color you paint your wall or trim determines the success of the rest of your environment.

Andrea has worked on my client’s properties as well as my own. She quickly interprets what the client’s needs are and takes charge to accomplish those goals. I’ve found her to be thoughtful, patient and she brings a valuable perspective to the table. What’s more is her work offers a level of sophistication that is difficult to find in San Diego.

I live in the Bay Area and needed a designer that could work with me mostly by emails and a few face-to-face meetings to remodel my Coronado condo. Andrea listened to my vision & budget, researched, and presented to me a furniture layout for my place. She kept me within the time line I had before a renter used my place. With her gentle reminders to "accept or not accept" ASAP, she got the furniture ordered and installed before the renter came. In the end, my condo looked modern and gave my renters a royal feel. Thank so much Andrea!

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

It was such a pleasure working with this out-of-town client, even with a tight deadline schedule and the challenges of creating spaces appropriate for the high-use demands of a rental property. Thank you for the opportunity, Kathy!

Andrea May is a pleasure to work with. She is dedicated to her vision, hard working and has unique ability to balance the creative aspect of the work with the day to day details of running a business. I believe she is well qualified to handle a variety of design situations.

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Thank you, Bill! It's absolutely mutual. Ralph Lauren is one of my favorite resources for beautiful, understated, classic furniture, wall coverings, textiles and accessories. And I can't think of anyone I would rather work with than you. You've become a wonderful and trusted colleague, partner and friend over the past several years. Thank you for all you do for me.

When I work with Andrea the process is as wonderful as the result. She is warm, gracious, knowledgeable, dedicated, creative and resourceful. She has exquisite taste with a real flare for the unique and unexpected. She brings a wealth of varied experiences, resources and out of the box ideas to every project. She is professional, detail oriented, very thorough, fun and funny. I recommend her with the heart felt confidence that you will have fabulous new surroundings as well as a fabulous new friend!

Comment from Andrea May Hunter/Gatherer:

Thank you for the kind words. It's easy to have a positive design experience and exceptional results when you have clients like this. This family is adventurous, artistic, creative and willing to try something fresh. So much fun!

lanimilo

After reading her good reviews and seeing a portfolio exhibiting good taste, I had hoped I had found the right designer to help me with an extensive remodel. She charged $250 for a site visit/consultation/estimate, with the promise that she would give lots of great ideas. However, after her hour and a half tour of my home, rather than any novel or helpful ideas, she presented me with a nine page contract. She explained that she did not want to "give away" her ideas, since that is what I would be paying her for in the future. Her focus on the money, instead of generating a collaborative dynamic between us, prompted me to find another designer.
