My wife and I have gone through various reviews and projects online and finally decided to go with Tayllen from Authors due to similar design ideas we have in mind and the great reviews she has garnered over the years. From the onset, We were very impressed with her knowledge and design ideas. We also noted that she emphasised on our requirements and worked out a suitable design suited for our envisioned theme. This was factoring our tight budget and timeline. Her professionalism and quality standards are top notch and this shows during our various meet ups, from 3D design explanations, site visits, supplier interactions and handing over. She will not accept any works that are of low standard and will pushed for it to be rectified before even showing it to us. She also gone the extra mile by handling our other providers I.e. aircon installer while we are busy at work. She was able to provide opinions based on her previous experiences which helped us alot on our decision making. There were also delays caused by late delivery of items by us which she was accommodating and immediately reschedule the project timeline to factor all these delays. There were also times where I was fussy, I.e. wall colour which did not matched what I wanted and Tayllen amended it FOC! Futhermore, there were many times where we had texted her at odd hours for furniture/room advice and she will almost always reply immediately! She was able to share her previous projects and also research on design ideas through WhatsApp and provided advice tailored to our envisioned theme. Tayllen's approachable demeanor always put us at ease and she became more of a friend then someone we engaged. People always say that renovation can be a nightmare, but she has definitely made it an enjoyable process! I will definitely recommend her to my friends who are looking out for ID and if I get another home in the future, she will definitely be the one designing it!

We had the good fortune of having Elaine as our ID for our house. We could say many good things about her, such as her patience, her eye for detail and her aesthetic sense, her trouble-shooting amid the restrictions of Covid-19, and her prompt responses whenever we needed something changed or done. But one thing that really stood out for us was how she was dedicated to making sure everything was done right. We had some lights installed, and due to a slight miscommunication, the contractors installed three large, single, switches in a row into our bedroom. They had already re-done it once because they didn't quite work properly, and my wife and I were OK with just leaving them, even though they didn't look that great. But Elaine would have none of it, even though we told her she could leave it. She took one look at the wall and said "No, I can't take how this looks." Then she got the contractors to come back and fix it one more time. So if you are fortunate enough to get Elaine on your project, know that your house is in the good hands of a competent and diligent ID.

Had a great experience with Garrett, he is a great ambassador of Authors. He took the time to listen to my ideas, asked me probing questions in order to narrow it down to the style I wanted. Mood boards were employed. Initially I was going more for a scandi minimalist design, but then I had a change of heart when i realised a monotone theme suited me more - he took it all in his stride and managed to turnaround the 3d render. Garrett was really helpful in offering tips and tricks like not to go for a full matte laminate for cupboards because it will make the space look too dark. He also kindly accompanied me to select tiles, lights and bathroom fittings. He was also always on hand and super responsive over calls/texts when I had ideas to run by him. Perhaps a tiny disappointment would be a slight delay in the reno duration, part of which was down to manpower and supplies issues during covid. He does his best at everything, I'd definitely recommend him/Authors for anyone out there looking for a professional to design their home.

I had my renovation done with Jun. We were first time home owners, clueless about everything and anything. Jun made the renovation process a breeze, he tried to understand our needs and openly shared his ideas with us. He was honest with his suggestions and strong attention to details, which was one of the main reasons why we went with Authors. Jun had very creative ideas for our house and was able to grasp our concept well. He helped to arrange for all the deliveries and liaised with vendors for installations. Making it a breeze for me and my husband while we are both busy at work. We trusted him completely and felt assured that we have him around to settle all these arrangements. Jun went out of his way to helped us and even came down to assist us with assembling our ikea furnitures. Without Jun’s help, I think my poor husband will take three days instead of three hours to assemble it all! We have been living in our new home for close to a month and there is no place I rather be at! Thanks Jun and Authors for giving us such a lovely home to return to everyday!
