“I had the fortunate opportunity to know Anna Grochowska for the past 10 years. I worked with her at The Childs/Dreyfus Group as we both served as Department Directors under the Company President. I was continually impressed by Anna’s broad skill set in interior design, project management and process improvement. Through her knowledge and experience, she was able to mentor and prepare her design staff for the competitive market. While managing the Contract Design Department, Anna had a complete understanding of the processes and standards involved in completing large scale design projects for National Builders and Development Companies. This was imperative as she supported Sales in presenting to and working with key client executives to grow the contract business. In addition to managing these high-profile projects, she was given the challenging opportunity of setting up the process foundation for the Contract Department. Anna has a rare balance of being innovative and creative in her designs for any type of interior design client, while her analytical and organizational skills allow her to always manage effectively to project budget and timelines. As the Operations Director, I managed the financials of the company, and Anna’s department never went over budget on a project, while I held this role. While managing cost effectively, she was also able to grow the department to become the main revenue stream for the company. This is a testament to her leadership, organization and client service skills. ”

“I have know Anna for the past 15 years since she started working for my company as an intern. I have been consistently impressed by both Anna's attitude towards her work and her performance on the job. After short period of time during which Anna organized our Presentation Department she was quickly promoted to a junior interior designer position. At that time she was still in school, but she showed excellent project management skills. When her senior was no longer available for consultation she easily took over several projects on her own. After graduation Anna received very interesting job offers and I was not able to keep her much longer. However, she always kept in touch with me and after 10 years of desigining for others Anna hes come back to work for me again. She presently works for ma as a freelance designer. Anna's interpersonal and communication skills have allowed her to develop productive relationships with both our clients and our staff. She effectively schedules and manges her projects as well as helps to maintain efficient office operations. Her design skills and knowledge gain her my absolute respect. She has become my main advisor in the company. She has the analytical skills to diagnose problems and devise viable solutions. Also she works very well under pressure, which she has proven to me many times. Anna has many skills and talents. It is important to say that she has the listening and interviewing skills necessary to extract information from our clientele. Anna is very organized, efficent and extremely competent and has an excellent rapport with people. She has always been willing to offer her assistance, but most importantly she can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. In summary, I highly recommend Anna for any endeavor that she may seek to pursue without any reservations"

"We were somewhat hesitant to use a professional designer, but we had just bought a new house in a new state, so were new to an area with an overwhelming choice but no knowledge of where to shop and who to use.

We wanted the house to be our personality, not someone else's. Annaline Interior Design was recommended by a friend. After meeting Anna and talking, we were amazed that her designs and ideas adapted to our personal style. She pulled rabbits out of hats, using her contacts and experience to deliver outstanding results. Anna worked hard coming up with ideas that suited the style we wanted, and worked with us patiently while we made and changed our minds. We are delighted with the results and have a house that people walk in and say 'wow'."

"When Anna was an emloyee of Mary Cook & Associates, Inc. she quickly rose from an entry-level position to an independent interior designer. Since she was so driven, hard working and passionated about what she did, it was no surprise she was promoted to a senior designer just six month later. Anna was never afraid to work long hours, to challenge herself and others and constantly to improve how things were done. Her design sense and technical abilities were exceptional. Our clients were always pleased with her work. I highly recommend her."

"Annaline Interior Design was able to transform our newly purchased, empty home into a warm, inviting and comfortable retreat. Since we had only six days before returning to the South, Anna met with us every day and was able to work the color scheme in each of our rooms, and order almost all of the furniture and fabrics during that time. The rest was accomplished via long distance and email. The result was beyond our expectations...she created a home that not only is beautiful but practical as well. Her attention to detail is impressive; she ties up all the loose ends and keeps excellent records. So not only is she creative, she is also a smart business woman and easy to work with. Our family recommends her highly."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Anna for almost a year. Anna has excellent leadership traits and communication skills, not to mention a burning desire to be productive at all times. I have had the opportunity to observe Anna's profesional skills as well as interpersonal style. She is consistently pleasant, and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. Regardless of deadlines or other pressures, Ms. Grochowska always delivers. Her superior organizational skills make her the consummate multi-tasker. Give her past work experiences and success stories, while I will surely miss interacting with her, it is my pleasure to recommend Anna Grochowska for any project that she may take to pursue."
