Sami has a vision, work-ethic, kindness, assertiveness, and patience that is admirable.

As a first-time home buyer, I didn’t know where, how, or when to start.
I only had an idea in my mind, one that was vague, almost like trying to describe one’s dream to another….it makes sense in the head, but to bring it to life in an articulate way is a whole other story.

Not once did I question her decision-making, or her keen and unique eye when it comes to design. The whole process was stress-free, smooth, and just felt right.

She is a hustler, an empath, a talent, and a joy to work with and be around.


Her growth as an interior designer will not be linear, but exponential. Better see if she is available before she gets too busy! Sami is your ideal hire.

We are beyond thrilled with what Sami helped us design for our Arizona home.

She was incredibly easy to work with and guided us in exactly the direction we needed. She consistently sent amazing photos and thoughtfully curated options for everything we discussed—from furniture to lighting. Even though we were in different locations, the process felt seamless.

Sami works quickly, has an incredible eye, and truly understood our vision from the start.

We couldn’t be happier. Walking into our home now—what was once very “boring”—feels completely transformed into a space we absolutely love.

Thank you, Sami!

We had zero vision for our family room at first. We just knew we needed to reconfigure things and didn’t love the room as it was. Sami helped us from the first moment to find our inspiration and guided us every step of the way to find pieces and placements of those pieces to make our relaxed California vibe come together.

Sami is thoughtful, decisive (which I appreciate), has a super keen eye for upscale, yet cozy design and is just fun and easy to work with. We absolutely love every element in our family room. All of the furniture, art, accent pieces and decor make the whole room feel curated and intentional. We are so grateful for all of her design advice. I’m already eyeing my dining room…and she will be the first phone call when we are ready! Thanks again, Sami!

Sami has been amazing at helping us with some finishing touches on our home! She immediately picked up on our style preferences and helped us to choose beautiful, quality pieces from a range of options she hand picked for us. All of the pieces fit with the vibe of our home while adding a warm, cozy and unique touch.

She has been beyond attentive, responsive, and organized. Sami has a creative eye with great attention to detail and it really shows in her work.

We are so in love with what we’ve added to our home and can’t wait to finish additional projects with Sami! She is a pleasure to work with and we are excited to continue to add to our home with her.

We've been working with Sami, and she has done an excellent job with the layout of our home, selecting the perfect furniture that makes our new space feel cozy, modern, and bright. I really appreciate her honest opinions throughout the process. I highly recommend using Sami for any of your interer design needs!

Nikki & Danny (Lincoln Park)

We couldn’t be happier with our new home decor and design thanks to Sami! From start to finish, her process was seamless, efficient, and truly enjoyable. We loved her innovative approach to sorting through and rating a wide variety of furniture and decor options—it made the decision-making process so much easier and even fun.

She was incredibly flexible and attentive to our preferences, making sure that every choice reflected our personal style while still keeping functionality and comfort in mind. The end result is everything we dreamed of: a home that’s colorful, bright, cozy, and luxurious—all while being perfectly pet-friendly. 

What’s even more impressive is that Sami managed to achieve all of this virtually.

We are absolutely in love with our new space and so grateful for Sami’s expertise and creativity. We can’t recommend her enough!

Sami did an incredible job transforming our space into something we absolutely love. She worked seamlessly with both my husband and me, listening to our individual ideas and combining them into a cohesive, stunning design. Her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to bring our vision to life exceeded all our expectations! We can’t wait to work with Sami on our next project!

I was stuck & frozen about how to pick the right area rugs for a few rooms in my home. I didn’t know what size to order, what fabrics to look for or know to stay away from, and just couldn’t find the right look that felt right. After struggling for months, I’m so glad I reached out to Samijo Design for help. Sami was over within days to see my home & measure my spaces. Her suggestions and expertise were exactly what I needed! I appreciated her honest opinions and how she really listened & responded to what I was looking for. She has a beautiful eye and an amazing bedside manner. She was a pleasure to work with and took all the stress out of the process for me.
