“What I like most about my job is the ability to transform ‘Ugly’ into ‘Lovely’ and the satisfaction that comes with it at the end.”
I’m passionate about art and design as well as management organization, which led me to obtain my Bachelors degree in Visual Communication design, and later an MBA, from the University of Bradford in the UK. My professional experience in design and project management started in 2007, when I oversaw large resort hotel design projects as well as custom private residential remodels.
As a project manager, I offer extensive remodeling project experience and manage the entire process from initial consultation and needs assessment to plan development/execution, collaboration with architects and contractors, and selection of finishes, architectural elements, and accessories. My approach to design is to achieve the perfect balance between visual style and functional space. I work on projects of all sizes and kinds, including space planning, kitchen and bath design, furnishings, color consultations, finish selections, and overall project management.
After traveling to so many cities, living in quite a few, and experiencing their different cultures, I believe the Bay Area is one of the best places you can live in. I love the weather, the food, and what nature here has to offer. When I’m not working you’ll find me either hiking in the middle of the redwoods or sitting in front of my easel, painting.

She kept everything on schedule without sacrificing care. The contractors she used were all wonderful and she made the experience so pain free. We are so looking forward to working with Freemodel again, and we especially look forward to working with Azary again!"

We also appreciate that she did try to upsell the project, she understood the market and the need to address what was most important about getting the home ready to sell! We will be using Azary in the future and are grateful for her amazing creative eye, project management and ease to work with. She is AMAZING!!!"

The finished work is very high-level. I know that I'm always getting the best with Freemodel!"

"I just wanted to let you know I used Freemodel on a listing I had in South San Francisco. I thought they did an excellent job renovating the condo that was not upgraded since the 70’s! They stayed within budget even when they found some issues that needed fixing that was not in the bid. I worked with Azary, who is their project manager and she was excellent and extremely patient with me. They also were within the timeline of the project and actually were done sooner than expected. The condo has sold and I have happy sellers."

Her contractor team is also very knowledgeable, hard working, worked with smiles and were easy to communicate with. They made the job very easy for me.

"Azary and Realtors Terry and Daniel (Christies International Real Estate Sereno) are amazing. Azary's fresh look attracted many buyers. She was right on top of everything as sweet as she could be. I hope I have another opportunity to partner with Freemodel's Project Director Azary along with Terry and Daniel again. They all deserve more than a 5 star rating. This was one very stress free experience......... YIPPEEEEE!"
