I was introduced to Deborah through a friend for a new construction project that we were considering. We were hiring her to work with us on our architectural plans for twin homes in the Cardiff beach community.I have to say, Deborah is such an amazing architect with a very detailed eye. We came in with a wish list of how we wanted this project to turn out and she put together to most amazing plans that not only met my expectations but exceeded them. Her extraordinary suggestions & ideas to maximize the space and usage of the floor plan was appreciated and made it exciting to visualize the possibilities of this home. Deborahs knowledge of the citys permitting & building process was extremely helpful too. She is very educated on the building & planning requirements and created our plans to the inch of what was allowed.Not only am I a client, but I am also a Realtor® and have referred clients to Deborah because I personally know that they are in the best hands when it comes to a building project.I would highly recommend Deborah Shewagas services. Her guidance, knowledge and vision are definitely top notch. If you are looking for an architect to bring your vision to life, Deborah is your person!

Working with Ideal Design Systems was an excellent experience. Deborah Shewaga integrated creativity into a sound structure. She truly listened, she challenged ideas when appropriate and was completely professional and organized. Her design resulted in a home that reflects our lifestyle where form follows function. I am exceedingly impressed by her work. Deborah is wonderful to work with and has a great sense of humor to boot.

I highly recommend Deborah to anyone who asks for a recommendation for an architect. We have worked with Deborah for remodels and also to design and build our dream home. Deborah is not only a talented architect, but she is extremely hard working, personable, knowledgeable and can confidently get the job done. We always feel like we are in good hands with Deborah.

Ideal Design helped my wife and I design our dream home. She listened to what we wanted during the design stage and made suggestions along the way. Deborah worked with our General Contractor throughout the construction process to make sure that no details were missed. As we began the decorating stage, she even helped to guide us through that as well. After hearing horror stories from friends about their own experiences, we were apprehensive, but we can truly say that things actually went smoother than we expected. We actually enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend her.

Ive had the pleasure of working with Ideal Design Systems and Deborah Shewaga on a few projects. Her designs are amazing and her attention to detail is flawless. She presents creative solutions to hurdles and the end product has always been beautiful. I will continue to work with her on future projects.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Deborah. She is not only brilliant in her artful design concepts, but also exceptionally competent and professional in understanding all the details and fundamentals that go into a build. She is very easy to work with and cares about the person as well as the job. One cannot go wrong in hiring and working with her.

I have worked with Deborah Shewaga on two major projects. First one was a major remodel in Cardiff, CA where we took a residential structure down to the studs and rebuilt. This is an ocean view home so enhancing views was a must. Deborah’s style of collaboration made the whole process pleasant.The second project was building a complete new house of approximately 7200 square feet, also in Cardiff.Again, Deborah’s collaborative style was key to making the project work. Her knowledge and experience with the City of Encinitas made a huge difference as far as permits and time. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of the project.I would gladly refer to Deborah to anyone looking to build.

Deborah is fantastic to work with. She delivered promptly, always on time and with a fair price. Her work is gorgeous!
