Carta Creatives - Southport, Connecticut

Walsh Family

I had the pleasure of working with Elana and her team to furnish our new weekend home in the Hudson Valley, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the start, Elana was not only incredibly professional but also very mindful of our budget, always keeping us updated on where we stood and making sure we stayed on track. She was always available and responsive, which made the entire process feel seamless.

One of the things that really stood out to me was her ability to design a space that works perfectly for a family with toddlers. She has a keen understanding of practical needs without compromising on style, which was invaluable to us. Her sense of style is impeccable—everything she selected was not only beautiful but also functional and family

Working with her was a joy, and the end result is a home that feels both sophisticated and comfortable. I highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for an interior designer who is professional, reliable, and a true expert in her field.

I cannot recommend or speak highly enough about Carta Creatives. Elana and Gina's professionalism, communication skills, creativity, congeniality, openness, access to countless vendors and resources make it a delight to work with them. Elana and Gina were recommended to us after we needed to replace our previous designer due to unfortunate circumstances. After our first meeting with Elana and Gina we knew we had chosen the right team and were in good hands. They immediately understood our vision and the difficulty we went through and were totally devoted to the project. We were treated as though we were their only clients! They helped us with everything from bowls to art work on the walls. They were able to accept deliveries and accompany vendors when we were not available. They applauded us when we brought back a rug from our vacation. They recommended wallpaper for rooms that made the spaces come alive. Their attention to detail and completing each room was something my husband and I could not have done without them. There were many large and small enhancements that went far beyond what we had imagined the home would be. It is not easy for designers to walk into a half finished project. It is a credit to their talent and professionalism that they did such a beautiful job. We have now hired them to do another project!

I worked with Elana on a large (and tricky) renovation project involving my kitchen, living room, and powder room, and I appreciated her strong design aesthetic, creativity, and skill to help me achieve a design that struck a balance between something timeless yet artful. Elana has a keen eye for style and was highly collaborative throughout the process. We worked closely from start to finish, and I valued her openness to feedback and her creative solutions as we refined the look.

One of the most impressive aspects was her ability to tackle a complicated floor plan and bring it to life with architectural precision. Her architecture background really came through in her thoughtful elevations and structural solutions. We ran into multiple hurdles given the layout of the house and each challenge was met with an outlook of positivity and possibility.

Equally as important to design and skill, Elana was punctual, responsive, and always did what she said she would. The level of customer service she and the team provided was exceptional. She was also warm and easy to work with, making the process really enjoyable.

Elana and the entire team at Carta Creatives were a creative and professional partner, and I am very happy with the final result – one that is highly curated and entirely unique.

Elana and the Carta team are wonderful to work with and helped us transform our space on a tight timeline.

Elana really took the time to get to know us and understand our style. We had a whole house to furnish and her approach took the stress out it for us. Her creativity and vision helped us curate the perfect spaces for our family.

Had a wonderful experience working with Carta on the renovation of several rooms in our home. Elana was thoughtful, organized, thorough and listened. When we started the renovation process I was completely overwhelmed until we met with Elana. She helped us refine our vision and define our aesthetic preferences. I would recommend Carta Creatives to anyone of my friends or family!

Launching a new surgical practice, we wanted a distinctly calm and welcoming space that would evoke the thoughtful care that each patient would receive. Elana and her team understood immediately, presented gorgeous design solutions, and managed our project with enthusiasm and flexibility to meet our budget and timeline for the practice launch. We highly recommend Carta Creatives and look forward to working with them again.
