"Ariana Vardi's extraordinary skills played a major role in the success of the 'Eames Words' exhibit, on view at the A+D Museum through February 20, 2012.  Her organizational skills, cheerful and speedy communications, energy, passion and knowledge provided our team with project management that is "as good as it gets".  I highly recommend her to whomever is lucky enough to engage her services."

"Ariana worked on a major renovation of a historical home formerly belonging to Mr. Charlie Chaplin. Not only was her work ethic exceptional but she is one of the most diligent, hardworking and knowledgeable designers I have ever had the opportunity to interact with. She is a wonderful, highly intelligent and honest person and we wish her the best in all of her future endeavors. We were most impressed with her."

"Delightful...helpful...patient...pleasant.  We had an idea of what we wanted and explained it to Ariana and she pleasantly replied, "it wasn't the best way to go."  When she returned with the plans, it was what we wanted in a much better format.  In fact, her way saved us money and a little time.  I respect her judgement and talent and highly recommmend her and have.  Even with all the changes we took her through, she remained professional and pleasant."

"Ariana has always proven to be diligent and extremely dedicated to the goal of designing an amazing restaurant...Furthermore, she would always go above and beyond the call of duty when it came to simplifying my life as a client. If there was something she could do to save me time or money concerning the project, she would always let me know. She does the little things well which I think too many people in this world forget to do....I have nothing but respect and admiration for Ariana Vardi. She has been a true professional since the first day I met her."

"Coordination of all of the many tasks involved in organizing A+D Museum's most successful exhbition to date, 'Eamses Words,' was accomplished with an admirable degree of professionalisim and organizational skills.  AVID Concepts carried out this work and we highly recommend them."

"I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Ariana Vardi on the A+D Museum's 'Eames Words' exhbition - a comprehensive statement on the design philosophy of Charles and Ray Eames and part of the Getty's landmark Pacific Standard Time initiative.  Ariana joined the project at a point when we needed someone to organize and make real all the creative ideas we had generated.  As anyone who has worked with Ariana will understand, she took the project by the scruff of the neck and (literally) worked night and day to help realize what once seemed enar impossible.  Ariana displays the rare mix of tenacity, charm, and a genuine sensibility for the design process.  I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make something happen."

"My expereince with Ariana has been nothing but professional and enjoyable.  She is very knowledgeable, fair, hardworking, resourceful and always a pleasure to speak to when it comes to any aspect of the renovation process.  One thing that I have noticed is that her renderings take into account a lot of details that do come in handy when the building phase starts!  I am totally satisfied with the level of profeessionalism and friendliness that she has shown and totally recommend her to anyone looking to do any kind of renovation, to the very simple to the extremely extravagent."
