Testimonials

Deanna Cash encompasses all the qualities of a 5 star interior designer. My professional job incorporates constant contact with interior designers on a daily basis, so my commentary and this review relates to my comparison of Deanna along with some of Chicago's finest interior designers. Her architectural accreditation, unique sources, and ability to decipher all job challenges ( technically and aesthetically), have accomplished amazing spaces in three personal projects...my private home , a small high end rental retreat, and a complete condo rehab.

Listening carefully to my needs, meeting my budget requirements , and honoring deadlines are even more of Deanna Cash's interior design strengths!

We had an excellent experience working with Deanna! She is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of style/taste! My only regret is not finding/hiring Deanna before we even started our project. My husband and I didn't always agree on many things when building/designing/decorating our home. She really helped us get to a place of agreement!

She was very instrumental in every decision we made outside of the build-out. From color, hardware, flooring, light fixtures, wallpaper, to closet, cabinet, and bathroom design. And when I am ready for more projects, Deanna will be the first one I call!

We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Deanna from Universal Designs on a project, and she is truly exceptional. Her design skills are incredible—thoughtful, creative, and brilliantly executed. She brings a deep knowledge of the industry, paired with professionalism and clear communication throughout the process. Most importantly, you can genuinely feel her passion for her craft in every detail of her work. Collaborating with Deanna was seamless and inspiring, and it’s been an absolute pleasure working alongside her. We look forward to many more projects together.
