Our daughter hired Susana to design our newly purchased family condo in NYC. Early in the process, we discovered she was inflating the costs of products and adding hidden fees to all invoices. Despite owning the company, she transferred the blame to her employees. Consequently, we had to terminate her services, despite having paid her in full. Her contract is designed to ensure she is fully paid before any work actually begins, which we found to be very deceptive. Post termination, she tried to bill us for work which had never been performed, as verified by the contractor himself. She also frequently missed appointments, citing excuses like difficulty finding parking or sudden emergency commitments. She has refused to refund our money despite making the offer herself in writing, so we are now taking her to court. I hope this review helps. More...

I wish I could put "0" stars and highlight with glitter and bold colors so anyone considering hiring this designer will run away. .. fast! She is dishonest, incompetent and a downright thief... and this is just the tip of the iceberg. She double charged for delivery of a sofa that she incorrectly measured and ordered from Italy and subsequently took over a year to receive when she finally got it right. I had to RENT furniture because of her ineptitude. Then I needed to chase her to rectify the billing errors, because she charged me TWICE for the delivery!!!! Please do not waste your time, money and patience. Hiring a designer is supposed to alleviate stress, not create it, unmercifully! Do yourself a favor, watch hours of HGTV for design tips and save your hard-earned money. More...

Hiring Susanacruzdesign to decorate our condo was the worst mistake we have ever made. Susana is slow and full of empty promises. She also secretly overcharges for all services and products. The saddest part is, she's still trying to take credit for a place she had nothing to do with. RUN. More...

Working with Susana and her team was a very unpleasant experience, even 1 star is generous. Despite volunteering to do additional work beyond the contract for free, which I have proof of, she lied about time spent and sent me an invoice for those services.
Her questionable business practices included marked-up invoices, inflated product costs, and pretending to work with contractors and trying to charge me for it. I spoke to the contractors she claimed to work with and they confirmed she was lying. Blaming her assistant Oswaldo for any issues I presented was a recurring theme.
Upon termination, I confronted her about overcharging, leading to highly unprofessional behavior on her end. She offered to reimburse me for her lack of services then denied it even though I have it in writing. I’m still waiting for that credit. Now I will be taking her to court to get my money back. She also exhibited a very slow work pace, with significant delays, as evident in a three-month wait for blinds.
I have personally spoken with others who have had horrible experiences working with her and my experience aligns with those negative reviews. For those seeking professionalism, real talent and originality, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. Save yourself the headache of dealing with Susanacruzdesign.

Please remember we had spoken previously and clarified the type of credit that we can provide is a credit toward a new design or oversight time for when your project is being executed if you are in any way unhappy with any part of the design/service . We understand your frustration in regards to the slowness and the slowness of the blinds. We strive to have quick turnaround times with our manufacturers/vendors and that specific manufacturer of blinds unfortunately has a very long lead time . Regrettably , that situation and longer lead times is often influenced by factors beyond our immediate control. We understand how delays can be frustrating and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Since then We had begun to inform our clients about our experience of the slower time frames with that particular manufacturer We apologize for feeling like you were being overcharged for products/and or invoices . We strive to offer fair and competitive pricing and we understand that perceptions can vary and that is why we do not lock our clients into purchasing anything with or through our company .

We are dedicated to transparency and are happy to share with you our time / location logs that reflect all the time spent on your project during that billing time period . Our billing department can also address all of these concerns and clarify how we invoice and any other billing concerns promptly . Unfortunately, we do invoice for additional time spent after the design has been approved and completed (phone, zoom, in person) , coordination time, research time, and time spent with third parties . It is truly disheartening to hear that you felt we did not take adequate responsibility or address your concerns in a timely manner .

Susana has amazing vision. She transformed my small garden home to something that looks like a Manhattan Penthouse. I have received so many compliments on the way my home looks. What started as a kitchen remodel became a total home transformation. From thinking about selling my home now I love every minute I stay there. It is now a perfect space for entertainment More...
