Overview

Jerry had a clear vision and strong ideas, but without a defined direction, nothing was coming together the way he wanted. He was already investing in the space, but needed clarity to bring it all into one cohesive design.

My role

I worked with Jerry to set one direction and guide each design decision, shaping his ideas, the wild ones included, into a home built around how he lives and hosts.

The result

The result is a bold home with a strong identity, where the materials, finishes and custom pieces all work together.

Key impact

  • Anthracite kitchen cabinets and dark glass, made for a host
  • Lighting layered for quiet nights and full rooms
  • A shower behind dark glass, with a long custom LED mirror
  • A balcony done in greenery and earthy textures, in the spirit of Tulum

“Benjo took everything I said, even the wild ideas, and made it work beautifully. Communication was easy, and everything felt clear throughout the process.

The space is exactly what I envisioned. It feels bold, elevated, and completely me. I’ve been hosting ever since.”

Proud of Every Detail

“Working with Benjo was one of the best decisions I made for my home. From the start, he understood my vision and elevated it beyond what I imagined.

I never had to ask for changes. Everything felt right.

The moment I walked into the finished space, I was genuinely proud. The 12 foot tree in the foyer is something I would have never thought of, and it completely transformed the feel of the home.

It has that wow factor I was looking for, but still feels like me.”

A Clear Vision, Beautifully Executed

“Working with Benjo was one of the best decisions we made for our first home. He understood exactly what we wanted and brought it together in a way that felt cohesive and complete.

He was always available, open to ideas, and easy to collaborate with. What made the biggest difference was how clearly everything came together. Nothing felt random or unfinished.

Our home would not feel the same without his input.”

Letting Go of Control, Without Losing It

“I was nervous about letting go of control, but Benjo made it feel natural. From the beginning, he took the time to understand what mattered to us and guided every decision clearly.

He introduced ideas we would have never thought of, while still keeping everything aligned with how we live.

By the end, we had a home we are truly proud of, and a process that felt easy from start to finish.”

From Vision to Reality, Without Guesswork

“Hiring Benjo was a turning point for my business. I wanted the space to feel elevated, but did not know how to get there.

From the first meeting, he understood the direction and translated it into a design that feels clean, modern, and intentional.

Since opening, people constantly comment on how the space looks and feels. I have already trusted him with my home as well.”

A Home That Finally Feels Right

“Moving from Venezuela while pregnant, I could not manage designing a home on my own. Benjo made the entire process feel simple and clear.

Now our home feels calm, elegant, and perfectly suited for our family. My daughter still calls her room a dream.

We could not have done this without him.”

Seeing What I Could Not See

“Benjo took a loose idea I had and turned it into something far beyond what I imagined. His ability to see possibilities I could not see myself is what sets him apart.

The process felt smooth and clear throughout, and the final result is both striking and personal.

I was genuinely impressed by how everything came together.”
