ABOUT



ABOUT STATEMENT DESIGN





Our mission is to create spaces that promote good health, comfort, and well-being for you or your customers. This involves specifying the right materials and products, furnishings, lighting, air and acoustical systems, color palettes, outdoor-indoor space integration, space layout, and more.


Our founder, Elisa Garcia, AIA, is an award-winning architect, interior designer, and construction manager with 30 years of experience. Elisa grew up working in her father's architectural and real estate development firm, and her passion for nature-inspired design was fueled at the age of 15 when she read Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography. She started her career in 1988 at a large commercial interiors firm, grew into leadership roles at CBRE and Gensler, and started her own firm in 2004. Elisa stays informed about psychology, neuroscience, aging, health and fitness, and mindfulness, synergizing all of these areas of interest into the design of spaces that people thrive in.


Statement Design provides a single-point-of-contact for our clients by offering both design and construction management services. We look forward to working with you.

"We hired Elisa Garcia to provide the design and coordinate the contractors for our project. They provided terrific renderings which were extremely helpful for us to visualize our various options. We are very pleased with the way the project turned out. Not only is Elisa a talented designer, she was always extremely helpful and responsive. In addition, she helped ensure that the project was done in a cost effective way; interfacing with our contractors to ensure that the work was done right, and that billing was correct. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of an excellent designer. " -Georgene Vairo, Sweet Briar College Vice Chair of the Board & Attorney


"Elisa Garcia was our primary architect and designer at Santa Barbara Bank & Trust providing excellence in service, superior client relations and project delivery. Her design work on the flagship branch was exceptional and she was a critical strategic partner." -John Shehorn, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust


"Elisa Garcia was the designer for our wine tasting room, Al Lago Wines. They also coordinated the contractors and purchased furniture on our behalf, which was very helpful. They didn’t impose their own design objectives on us, but rather listened to our ideas, provided some input, and encouraged us to make the choices that best represented our own style and objectives. They were always extremely responsive and also very conscientious about costs, diligently researching options that provided the biggest impact for the best value. The space is beautiful and we are thrilled with it." -Simone Lagomarsino, Owner of Al Lago Wines ​.
