Eva Maria Fischer - Pauline GrattNew York City

Eva Maria is a brilliant designer, stylist and decorator. And you are getting even more than that: She really understands you, thinks about the broader picture, cares about your wellbeing. You can tell she is a life coach. Her design support certainly improved my life in a deeper sense.

When, after many years, I ended up alone and single in my 2-bedroom apartment, she helped me reclaim and rearrange the space. Working with her felt liberating and empowering. When I wouldn’t let go of items or was reluctant to try something unfamiliar, she encouraged me to try it. It felt safe and risk free and worked out perfectly. She added beautiful and unique pieces of décor that reflect who I am. I like to host and so she found me the perfect vintage folding chairs that my guests won’t stop raving about. 

I also participated in a “jewelry party” that Eva Maria hosted for a group of women. The goal was to support us in discovering our personal style. She helped me understand what jewelry I needed for different occasions and had a fantastic collection from which I chose a few great and very affordable pieces. She encouraged me to be more feminine and courageous with my accessories – and I am so glad I let her convince me. When I wear the pieces I got from her, I feel good about myself – and I get many compliments.
Eva Maria is highly attuned to people’s needs and potential. She supported me and helped me build confidence. I love the design choices she — we — made, and other people noticed the positive impact. People keep saying how warm my apartment is and that it reflects my personality. That’s an achievement I am proud of and which I could never have realized without Eva Maria.
