Jarret Yoshida Design

Jarret and his team worked on a master bedroom remodeling for my husband and I. They really got our personal style by taking the time to really understand our unique perspective. We had a pretty strict budget for the project and he worked within our budget which we greatly appreciated!

Jarret and his team did an incredible job renovating my apt in Williamsburg. They introduced stunning color that showcased the building's 110 year old woodwork and made some great recommendations for furnishings and lots of beautiful details. They found ways to reimagine a lot of my art work and gave my existing furniture a rebirth.

Jarret and his staff are absolutely top notch. What do you do during COVID? Stay at home, look around and think of all you would like to change and update. What do you do with the travel money I.m not spending during COVID? Put those plans into action. A friend of mine gave me Jarret’s information a couple of years ago so I reached out to have a conversation. Was he up and running during COVID? Was he able to work during the pandemic? Turns out he was completely prepared for all of this because of his work in Hawaii, LA, DC and other cities. He had the entire off site platform worked out long before this all hit. I didn’t need an entire gut done, but I wanted to change things. Jarret and his staff have been on top of everything. We have video chat meetings consistently when needed, consistent email updates, he had virtual drawings, floor plans and other renderings done for me. Samples of material, stone, tile and paint were sent directly from the supplier for me to look at, see in my space and settle on. Jarret has made site visits as needed. Always masked, always socially distancing, always aware of the safety of everyone.

Jarret and his staff are amazing! He helped us remotely in Hawaii, with only a few site visits. His staff is very patient and understanding, as is Jarret himself! Highly recommended!

Love Jarret, Khristina and team! They were wonderful to work with. So creative, hip, professional and completely knowledgeable about all aspects of the business. They have impeccable taste. They turned a drab little space into something quite fabulous! This was our first apartment reno, so naturally we had many concerns/requests. They were so responsive to all of our needs throughout. With us every step of the way and with a ton of patience too I might add. Jarret and team turned what could have been a very stressful undertaking into something that turned out to actually be fun! They are so good at what they do. Highly recommend!

Jarret helped us with renovations and design. His team did an amazing job and the work was exceptionally. We were very happy with the work done and are hoping to work with him in the near future.

With so many designers to choose from, we are so glad we worked with Jarret and his team to renovate our home. We had seen Jarret's work on houzz, but ended up choosing a lower cost firm that had an extensive internet advertising presence. Well, we got what we paid for. We realized months later that their staff were far too junior to actually execute their admittedly great ideas. After bidding them farewell, my husband and I ended up choosing Jarret who we saw had won Best of Houzz several times. We quickly found out why since he was quick to analyze the situation and his enthusiasm and can-do attitude won us over. He adapted what had already been completed and built on and enhanced what we had. We were a little tight on money at this point, but he still gave us a home we finally were proud to show our friends and family. We really loved how he managed to figure out a style that make both of us happy. We couldn't have been more satisfied. We're now in the middle of planning a renovation of our kitchen and bathroom with him and can't wait to see what we end up with. My husband is actually a real estate agent and has forward his name on to clients who are already reporting satisfied results.

I received a recommendation from a mutual friend and utilized the services of Jarret Yoshida designs and he didn't disappoint. Although his office is in New York and I live on Oahu, the distance wasn't a factor because he has staff here and also comes here for other clients. The result was a look that felt sophisticated and contemporary, but still rooted in a Hawaiian aesthetic because Jarret was born here unlike a lot of other mainland designers we considered. I am extremely pleased with the renovation of my condo. His customer service and attentiveness was on point and I loved working with him and his staff. He and his staff listened to my concerns and stayed within my budget and produced a beautiful design for my condo. I would recommend Jarret Yoshida to anyone seeking a remodel or renovation of their house or condo. Jarret and his team are very accommodating and willing to incorporate your ideas and preferences with his talent. I've lived in my condo for over twenty years and he was able to redesign it with modern touches while it still felt like home.

Jarret was highly recommended to me by a close friend. Since I had never worked with an interior designer before, I was a little nervous especially since Jarret and I live in different cities. Jarret reassured me that distance wouldn’t be a problem since he has experience working with clients in other cities and countries. Jarret brought such clarity on how to best use furniture to maximize the functionality and space in my house. The layout of my house is a bit tricky since there is no defined area for the dining room, living room, family room, and office/den. After I sent Jarret and his team the dimensions and pictures of the interior, I received the detailed floor plan indicating where pieces of furniture should be placed. Jarret was able to divide each space into its own specific function in way that flows very simply and elegantly from area to area. For me, shopping is painful and excruciating. The thought of choosing and buying furniture was overwhelming and immobilizing. I’m so thankful that Jarret and his team were there to help. When it came to choosing furniture, Jarret and I discussed what I like and dislike. He understood immediately my style and chose amazing pieces. I like that Jarret showed me some items that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I tend to make “safe” choices, but I felt confident that Jarret understood my tastes and chose some of the “edgier” pieces. I’m so glad that I took the “risk” because those are the pieces that I love! I am very thankful to Jarret and his team for helping me furnish my house. Jarret was easy to work with, available to answer my questions, and often made me laugh with his sense of humor. If I had to do it by myself.....thankfully, that's something I don't have to think about. If you’re debating whether or not to hire Jarret, just pick up the phone and call him. You won’t regret it when you’re sitting in your beautifully decorated home.

My wife and I bought a house in Kahala. We loved the wide-open floor plan but found it impossible to arrange our existing furniture in this new home. With growing kids, we also needed new bedroom furniture as they outgrew their Ninja Turtles and Hello Kitty. (Does anyone really get too big for them?) In our new home, we wanted new pieces that was not readily available in Honolulu. At this point, a friend of ours referred us to Jarret. While we knew he was local, originally, we had some concerns about the distance between him in Brooklyn and us in Hawaii. After speaking with him, we were assured that he could make it work. We saw homes that he had decorated and learned that he had a track record here on the island. We decided that we wanted the mix of local/Japanese aesthetic and New York chic. It was a great experience for us. We had samples and drawings sent to us directly, and conference calls with the office. Everything that you would have with a local designer, we had with Jarret and his office. We also had Jarret’s partner, Dan, doing site visits; and Jarret also, when he visited the island. Some items were made for us here, some shipped from the mainland. Everything came together beautifully. We truly could not be happier. And by the way, my daughter still has Hello Kitty in her room. Aloha and mahalo to Jarret and staff. Thank you for making the house our home.

I looked through so many designers here. I tried to find a designer that I felt I could get along with and listen to and make me feel as if I could make solid and reliable decisions. There are so many things to think about and be concerned with. I spoke with three and decided to use Jarret and his crew. I wanted a mix of comfort and chic design. Someone who could help me have more than what I was simply finding in the stores here. Jarret and crew gave me options to choose from at different price points and guided me through the entire process of furnishing, designing and completing my condo. Did everything go perfectly? No, nothing ever does. Stores always seem to have problems, I learned. However, if a problem arose they were on it immediately. Problems are not an issue if there is a resolution and his team stood behind everything.

As a restaurateur, I found myself looking for a designer who could complete the vision that I wanted to provide for my dining guests. Located in Midtown Manhattan, it was a hustle and bustle of a location and I wanted something that could stand out from amongst the surrounding eateries. I did some research on Houzz on various different designer’s ideas, thoughts and plans ~ but when I came across Jarret’s website I really enjoyed the visions that he had shared and I took a liking to his design taste and aesthetic. He didn’t have much commercial or hospitality experience, but either way because of his taste level I really wanted to try something different for my space. I went ahead and acquired him to create something unique and inspiring that would make my guests want to stay and continue to keep coming back. I was very happy with the end result as Jarret is multi-faceted and can handle both residential and hospitality as that was my main concern in the beginning. He proved me wrong and took the extra mile to show me that he could accomplish exactly what I was aiming for. I am grateful that I decided to go with Jarret Yoshida and team ~ I would definitely recommend using him again in any future prospects / business or personal / and also gained a great friendship as well ~ thank you so much Jarret!
