Raquel and Second Sanctuary Design has been a huge asset to my interior design business. I'm a small firm and Raquel has been able to take many tasks off my plate in times where I've needed to focus on the business/non-billable side of things. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the luxury interior design industry, so I feel comfortable bringing her in to "clear the path" - no matter the task - to help me meet deadlines. She is thorough and timely and always has the best attitude, ready and willing to provide help and support wherever needed. She asks great clarifying questions to be sure we're on the same page and is great at accepting feedback. From material schedules to AutoCAD drafting to furnishings selections to pricing and data entry, she has been essential to the continued success of my business.

Raquel Bloam, with Second Sanctuary Design, has worked for our company on a freelance basis, during times when we had too much workload to handle over a short period of time. She is reliable, thorough, and experienced in everything from concept to completion in a remodel or new build journey with a luxury interior design project. There is no task too big or too small. She has a positive can-do attitude, always asking for feedback to ensure she is meeting/exceeding our expectations. What a wonderful niche business, to be able to support thriving luxury residential design firms, on an "as need" basis in an environment where business can fluctuate. I would recommend Raquel with Second Sanctuary Design to any luxury residential design firm needing support.
