About
Hello there, my name is Penny Oliver and I'm a designer and project manager. When it comes to home design projects, hiring a designer is a crucial step. As someone who steps into your space as a guest, I can offer a fresh perspective on the aesthetics, function, and flow of your home or office. With my experience enhancing countless spaces, I can easily see the potential of yours and identify the challenges and obstacles that need to be addressed to bring out the best in it.

Engaging my services can actually save you time and money in the long run. You may have had the experience of picking a paint color that looked great on a swatch but turned out to be a disaster on your walls, or buying furniture and decor that just doesn't fit or look good in your space. I can help you avoid these pitfalls by offering guidance on effective planning and shopping, and providing access to my network of trusted tradespeople, retailers, and designers.

My services include a range of options, from remodeling design and project management to art consultation and home organization. I provide detailed proposals, organized to-do lists, digital drawings, and mock-ups to help you visualize your project, and offer unlimited free brief interactions to keep communication flowing smoothly.

My rates are $75 per hour, with pricing for remodeling project management determined by the scope of the project and your level of involvement. I have a BA in studio art and design, extensive experience in remodeling and painting projects, and an MA in Applied Psychology that helps me bring compassion, listening skills, and a client-centered approach to my work.

I am passionate about creating beautiful, functional spaces that reflect my clients' needs and personalities. Let's work together to transform your space into something truly special!

Penny from Breaking Down Walls assisted us in devising a plan to modernize and optimize our living area. We received valuable insights and ideas from her regarding the redesign of our kitchen, den, and pantry, all with the aim to better serve our family's needs. Penny's expertly-crafted 3D models gave us an accurate visualization of what the space would look like. While we only utilized Penny's expertise for space design, she also provides a range of other services such as furniture selection, project management, and acquiring quotes. In the future, we would readily turn to Breaking Down Walls and Penny for guiding us through these types of ventures.

There is no doubt that hiring Penny will exceed your expectations! With only 5 weeks to prepare my new townhome for occupancy, Penny took the time to understand my vision for a modern, tidy, and polished space, and she surpassed my expectations. I am absolutely enamored with my new home! Moreover, Penny has continued to assist me with selecting and installing artwork tailored to my specific taste. Under her guidance, I have uncovered a newfound appreciation for various art styles, and have become more attuned to their beauty and sense of comfort. With Penny's expert support, I have been able to break past some barriers, and achieve greater aesthetic results than I would have been able to accomplish alone. In fact, Penny even painted a breathtaking original acrylic artwork for my bedroom! Don't hesitate to contact her; you won't regret it.

As a truly visionary individual, she had the ability to pinpoint issues that were previously unknown to us. Her charisma created a positive and uplifting atmosphere, not just within the confines of the project, but in all aspects. It is an absolute joy to collaborate with her and we highly endorse her!!!
