Testimonials
The entire Isaman design, Inc. team was phenomenal to work with! From our first meeting, Bill was easy to talk to, fun to work with, and responsive and timely with communication and meetings. Kate was equally as wonderful! Bill and Kate both listened to our goals and expectations with the remodel and made the whole design process seamless. Their rapport with the City of SLO made the permit process quick and painless, which was a huge blessing. They are such a talented team and our new home is incredible, truly beyond words. We are so grateful for their vision and expertise... they have given us the greatest gift with our beautiful forever home!

We worked with Isaman design, Inc. to create our forever home in San Luis Obispo. From Day 1 of meeting Bill we knew we had found the right architect for us. We enjoyed the entire process and the team we worked with - creative, professional, diligent, and a pleasure to be around.

I am thrilled to write this review for Isaman Design. After a disappointing experience with a previous architect, Isaman Design came to my rescue and transformed a difficult situation into an incredibly positive one. Their team did an amazing job redesigning my home. They not only salvaged the project but also significantly improved upon the initial design, creating a space that far exceeded my expectations. What truly set Isaman Design apart was their responsiveness, collaborative approach, and deep experience in custom home design. They listened to my needs, incorporated my feedback, and worked with me every step of the way. The investment in a 3D model was invaluable; it allowed us to visualize the final home design in detail and identify any necessary changes before construction began, saving both time and potential costly revisions. I wholeheartedly recommend Isaman Design to anyone looking for an architect who delivers exceptional results, is a true partner in the design process, and can navigate complex projects with expertise and grace. They are simply outstanding!
-D. Eastman
We interviewed several architects looking for help designing our dream home. We wanted a modern design and wanted an architect who would let us lead a collaborative approach. Isaman design, Inc. was the only candidate that gave us confidence on both counts. We were not disappointed. Our suggestions were incorporated and almost always improved. Bill and Kate encouraged us to invest in a 3D model. This allowed us to fine tune the design and made us confident prior to construction that we would achieve our desired outcome. The process was fun and efficient.
- E. Von Berg
We had the pleasure of working with Isaman design, Inc. to design our dream home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial concept to the final execution, Isaman design, Inc. displayed a level of professionalism and expertise that met our expectations. They listened to our ideas and turned them into a stunning reality.
- V. Mitchell
Everything that we wanted was accounted for in the initial concept, and more. The finished product did not differ much from those original drawings, which goes to show that he was able to bring together what we wanted.
- J. Jacobson
The thing that we appreciate the most about your design is that you fit everything into the impossibly tight space, maximizing the view, and turned 900 square feet into 2250 square feet without an inch to spare.

-E. Schaefer
I have used Isaman design, Inc. for a number of projects over the years, and have been tickled with every one of them. We did a loft renovation in a commercial building in 2008, a custom home in 2009, a second floor basketball court added to our commercial building in 2020, and a tear it down-build it back again remodel of an older home in 2022. It hasn’t mattered who was the lead on the project. Whether it was Bill or Pink or Kate, the results have all blown us away each time.
-J. Jacobson
We've been working with Isaman design, Inc. for the past two years and would highly recommend to anyone looking for design and architecture services. They were recommended to us through our real estate agent after we purchased our home in Cambria. We specifically worked with Kate, who was remarkably responsive and collaborative. We worked remotely from Los Angeles and she was extremely accommodating, helping us navigate a number of tricky issues. She made the process so seamless and efficient. We love the final plan and would definitely work with Isaman design, Inc. again.
-A.Reinhard
The entire staff (from start to finish) helped us turn our vision into a reality. And a HOME. Top notch design firm.

-A. Judge
Working with Isaman design, Inc. has been nothing short of amazing. From the very first meeting to the final product, they don’t just design a house—they help you create a home, a dream, and even a legacy. I had the pleasure of working directly with Bill Isaman and Sergio Ochoa, and their expertise is truly unsurpassed. They listen carefully, communicate clearly, and guide you through every step of the process with patience and care. One of the most impressive parts of their process is the 3D mockup of your home—you can literally walk through and experience your house before it’s even built. Their attention to detail, thoughtful design, and true hand-holding throughout the process set them apart. There is no better architect team on the Central Coast—or anywhere else, for that matter. If you want more than just a house, but a home brought to life exactly as you envisioned, I cannot recommend Isaman design, Inc. highly enough.
-S. Othman
Working with Bill and his team was a wonderful experience. They desgined my home to a level that exceeded my expectations. Also was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I especially loved the 3d model and the new VR model option which helped my wife and I make important decisions when it came to changes for the home. I know this will help me reduce the amount of change orders when we start the building process.
-N. Patel
Bill Isaman and his whole team are top notch! They create some of the most stunning designs that give a high level of detail at the same time. They are also amazing communicators and I have enjoyed working with every member of his team.
