"A brief word about CIRCLE's work: they are fantastic! Theresa's aesthetic sense is completely in keeping with our architectural concepts, and - unlike any other interior designer we've worked with over the past 16+ years- Theresa "gets it". ...She adds immensely to the building with her interior designs, furthering the team's design intentions and carrying them further in the interior finishes, details and furniture. ...Theresa is great to work with: She enjoys collaboration, is an excellent communicator, and clients really appreciate what she brings to the team...I believe CIRCLE is an interior design firm that other architects need to know about."
