Testimonials

“I was introduced to Samantha in early 2024 by my new construction clients and when I left our 1st meeting I knew she would fit right in with my team, she's open minded, pleasant and so easy to work with. Samantha is beyond talented, her ability to make quick decisions, convey her visions, keep the client on task, prioritise what needs to be completed in the order that keeps the job moving smoothly and her long hours in and out of the office separates her from all her competitors greatly. 

The best way I can describe Samantha is that she can get into the DNA of her clients and really make their dreams come true all that and doing it with a smile on her face. Nothing ever gets her frazzled and there are never problems, there are only solutions. I'm looking forward to our next project together and making our clients the happiest they can be.”

—ALBERT G JULIANO BUILDERS, LLC | OCEAN CITY, NJ

“I highly recommend Cury Design Studio (formerly IBJ). They were so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process when building our new shore house. Samantha took the stress out of all the decision making. I was referred to Samantha from a close friend. 

Our biggest transformation is total satisfaction and love of our new home. Samantha walked us through every phase of our building process and was able to make it stress free and seamless! 

We appreciate Samantha’s professionalism, courtesy, knowledge, and availability to our every question and need. We could not have done this without her.“

—JACKIE | OCEAN CITY, NJ

“I had a great experience working with Sam and the entire team at Cury Design Studio (formerly IBJ). 

Sam quickly got to know my style and preferences but also brought design elements and ideas that were so perfect and really made each room in our new home unique and elegant. 

She has such an eye for colors, patterns, accessories, furniture styles that made the whole process easy, less overwhelming and fun especially as we were making decision on all interior elements such as cabinets, tiles, flooring, bathroom/kitchen surfaces, lighting, rugs, paint colors, furnishings, and the list goes on and on to fully decorate an entire home. She also helped with exterior colors, siding, lighting, etc. so it was a full house interior/exterior design. “

—HEATHER | OCEAN CITY, NJ

“The best decision I made when building our house was to hire Sam from Cury Design Studio (formerly IBJ). From the start she was confident and inquisitive which made me comfortable. She wanted to understand my vision and  asked about my style. I knew I was working with the right person. Sam handled the entire process professionally. Everything I saw as a challenge she handled with ease. She made what some consider a daunting task a pleasurable and fun experience. She has a gift for working with colors, textures, detail and space. Her taste is impeccable – second to none. Sam offered endless options to get me the look I wanted. Never once did I feel pressure to make a decision. Sam’s attributes have spread  throughout the entire CDS staff. Her team was always willing to assist in any way. 

I am beyond thrilled with the end results. Through her never-ending desire to “get it right” Sam has turned our house into a home. Thank you Sam and the CDS team.“
