"Most importantly, I would say Sommer is honest, flexible and collaborative. I admit that I am a perfectionist and don't like to be told that something can't (or shouldn't!) be done. To be perfectly honest, I am not sure I would enjoy working with me!! But Sommer was always very easygoing and explained the pros and cons of my ideas forthrightly and to my satisfaction. Sommer is creative and open-minded. I have a tendency to mix outrageously expensive things that strike my fancy with odd, cheap things found on the internet. This never fazed Sommer, she just made suggestions to help keep the look consistent and elegant.
So, I call my exquisite new bathroom a "jewel" because it is small, sparkly and beautiful. It is exactly what I wanted, and it was Sommer who helped me get there. I cannot thank her enough!"

"Sommer/Somkoda Design has helped us twice choosing paint colors, both interior and exterior. She thoughtfully looked at all aspects of our home and was able to pick the right colors for both. Paint colors are a big deal to get right, and she was spot on with the choices. Grateful to have Somkada Design right here in Laramie!"
"We loved working with Sommer. She was very patient with our process of making decisions. She had great advice and suggestions to bring our project to a beautiful completion. We look forward to working with her in the future."
