Erik was a pleasure to work with on our home renovation project in San Francisco. He was professional, kind, and collaborative. He demonstrated a strong ability to understand and translate our vision into stunning design concepts that fit our style. Our home seamlessly blends modern and natural elements that are inviting and warm. Erik was also very flexible and was able to accommodate changes we wanted. I highly recommend Erik for his design expertise, and exceptional client service.

Erik Kramer of Social Studio is skilled, talented, resourceful, and communicative. He has my deepest respect as a professional and my enthusiastic endorsement. Approaching my project, I knew a little about a lot of things, a lot about a few things, and nothing – zilch – about design/build. Erik wasn't fazed. He met me where I was, deftly coaxing from me a vision I'd yet to articulate, and patiently proving me the language with which to do so. The process was a joy and the spectacular results speak for themselves. From grand design to minute finishing details, Erik's tasteful selections were always in keeping with my concept (and, for that matter, my budget), each incrementally advancing and enhancing the outcome. Throughout, he consistently overdelivered with quality of design, solutions, workmanship, management, and adherence to timeline and budget. My shop looks amazing, if my clientele are to be believed, and I have Erik to thank for it. Your project will be improved and expertly-executed when entrusted to Social Studio and Erik Kramer.

My first meeting with Erik Kramer and Social Studio was surprising. While I loved his enthusiasm and creativity, my husband and I weren’t sure he was the right architect for our vision. He convinced us that my cutesy Craftsman house was not going to fit in with a western ranch neighborhood and that he could blend Craftsman style with a more subtle ranch design. We went with it, and it was the best decision we have ever made. Throughout the design phase, Erik always listened to what we wanted and added his own ideas of balancing contemporary trends with timeless elegance. He has a keen eye for aesthetics to create a home that is both stylish and functional. Throughout the building process, whenever we weren’t sure about a specific design, Erik would represent his ideas visually so we could get a clear picture of what it would look like. He worked closely with our contractor to make sure every detail was executed. His knowledge of the building process is impressive, and he could think outside the box to present an alternative idea whenever the contractor came across a difficult building task. One of the standout features of Erik’s design was his attention to cabinetry detail. The beauty and intricate nature of the custom cabinet design is the highlight of our home. Erik was able to create cabinetry that was functional and beautiful while integrating my desire for maximum storage. An important quality of any architect is the ability to navigate the different personalities in the design and building process. Erik was able to do this with sensitivity and aplomb. He could talk a gorilla out of his banana and convince him that bamboo shoots are the better choice. Working with Erik and Social Studio was a delight. We highly recommend him for anyone looking to elevate their space with thoughtful and elegant design solutions.

We have been working with Erik for almost four years, and the experience has been stellar. Erik’s span of focus includes design, construction and architecture. Erik helped us from the initial design, including renderings, to permit support, general contracting and construction. Would highly recommend Erik.

Working with Eric on my bathroom renovation was both a breeze and a blast! He is very professional and listens to my needs and wants. I was floored when I saw the different bathroom renderings that he presented — they were all so beautiful and well-thought out. He made sure that I was happy and content with the option I chose and was very collaborative when I wanted to change a few tidbits. His attention to detail is impeccable and he has a really good eye with design as he mixed modern with organic elements that keeps my guests intrigued everytime they used the bathroom. When there were concerns during construction, he was not only quick to respond, but he was also very respectful, kind, and considerate — all good traits that any homeowner needs in a designer who will help them create the home of their dreams. It is without a doubt that if you choose to work with Eric in your future home redesign/renovation, you will be met with excellence in design and unbeatable professionalism.

I've had the opportunity to work with Erik Kramer and his talented team at Social Studio for several projects over the past 7 years, including the remodel of my wine shop Little Vine in San Francisco, my restaurant The Salzburg, and my Healdsburg kitchen in wine country. I am beyond thrilled with the results and feel compelled to share my experience. From the outset, Erik impressed me with his vision and creativity. He took the time to understand the essence of each project, ensuring that the designs not only met my aesthetic desires but also enhanced the functionality of each space. His keen eye for detail and innovative approach have transformed these places into true truly special places. Little Vine: Erik's redesign of my wine shop has elevated the shopping experience to new heights. The modern, yet somehow classic ambiance he created perfectly complements our curated selection of wines and cheeses. The layout is intuitive, and the use of natural materials adds a historic feel that our customers love. It's now a welcoming space where people love to linger and explore. Healdsburg Kitchen: The redesign of my kitchen in wine country was a dream come true. Erik's expertise shone through as he seamlessly blended functionality with style. The space is now a chef's paradise, with state-of-the-art appliances and a layout that makes cooking a joy. The aesthetic is both stunning and practical, reflecting the beauty of the surrounding vineyards. Throughout the entire process, Erik and his team at Social Studio were professional, attentive, and incredibly responsive. They took my vision and elevated it beyond my expectations, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also perfectly suited to their purposes. If you are looking for an architect and designer who will listen to your needs, bring innovative ideas to the table, and deliver stunning results, I wholeheartedly recommend Social Studio. Their work has truly transformed my business and personal spaces, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Erik and Social Studio! Sincerely, Jay Esopenko
