testimonials: Schmidt Design Studio
What people are saying about Schmidt Design Studio...
I had the pleasure of working closely with Anna on various design projects while serving as president of Olive Garden. She was insightful, talented, resourceful, thorough and a joy to work with as we re-created the brand.
Anna really got our vision. The company had embarked on a thorough brand repositioning, which importantly included the remodeling of all existing restaurants to become "authentically Italian" and the creation of both a newly designed "Tuscan Farmhouse" building as well as an "urban design" for cities such as New York. Her creativity and excellent design sense helped to establish a warm and appealing environment for our guests.
Olive Garden has achieved 47 consecutive quarters of same-restaurant sales increases to lead the casual dining segment in overall performance.

The recent workings that I have had with her and her Company have produced favorable results and great approval by their end users. She has a fantastic eye and excellent taste. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who wants quality product.
I look forward to working with Anna on many more projects in the future.

The design team at Schmidt Design Studio helped us turn our dreams of opening a beautiful, inviting restaurant into a reality. We really could not have created the atmosphere we desired at The Ravenous Pig, without them. Anna Schmidt personally walked us through every step of the process and understood exactly what we were looking for. Anna is not only an amazing designer but she has the very rare ability to be very professional and very personal at the same time. The design team used ingenuity to create a one-of-a kind, warm, inviting space, and most importantly- within our budget!
Sincerely,
James and Julie Petrakis
