About

"Let's chat, I'm April, an Expert in Interior Design."

After 25 years in the industry, I take immense pride in working with only a select number of special clients each year, as I believe in fostering a deeply personalized and hands-on approach to our collaboration. This intentional decision allows me to invest more time, attention, and creativity into each project, ensuring a bespoke experience that transcends the conventional, systematic approach. By limiting the number of clients, I can forge genuine connections, truly understand individual visions, and curate spaces that authentically reflect their unique personalities and lifestyles. It's not just about design; it's about creating meaningful, enduring relationships through the art of crafting spaces that resonate on a personal level.

Blending my California design roots with my love of the Hawaiian island style creates a harmonious fusion of urban sophistication and tropical allure. Inspired by the vibrant energy of Bay Area living and the serene beauty of Oahu landscapes, my designs seamlessly integrate contemporary elegance with laid-back island charm. Whether infusing modern elements with natural textures, incorporating bold colors with tranquil accents, or merging sleek lines with organic shapes, each space reflects a unique balance of cosmopolitan flair and island tranquility. With a deep appreciation for architecture, Hawaiian culture, and today's home-dwellers, I bring a fresh perspective and industry expertise to crafting your sanctuary.

"I was not initially planning on hiring an interior designer for my 1960s guest cottage renovation, but I just got a great feeling when I met April. From my mishmash of inspiration photos, she created a luxurious, timeless design that far surpassed what I thought possible. Most importantly, she did it all within budget! I appreciate her responsiveness, how mindful she is of my wants/needs, and how easy she is to work with. You can just tell she absolutely loves what she does! We are getting tons of compliments on our guest house and I definitely plan on hiring April again when it is time to renovate our main residence."

Neysa, Honolulu HI

"Thanks to the many positive reviews on Yelp, we found, hired and collaborated with April to help facilitate the design and renovation of our 500 square-foot condo in Waikiki. We had no idea how many decisions would be involved in a floor-to-ceiling renovation to make our penthouse a place we are proud to call home. April was the creative professional we had hoped we could find! Her enthusiasm, instincts, experience technical skills and follow through were exactly what we needed, all at a very reasonable price. We discussed priorities, then she measured our tiny home and created a design that she adjusted for us along the way, using a technology-based program that helped us understand and visualize how all the components were going to work and look together. She also developed storyboards for us to use to discuss and research color, lighting, furniture, and accessories. She recommended our bedroom furniture, which we love! She introduced us to a variety of vendors, including the construction manager, custom closet creators, lighting professionals, etc. We found local custom shoji screen craftsmen, and she readily integrated their designs into our plan. We met several times in person and online, and she was always positive and maintained her sense of humor, in the face of the pandemic and supply chain issues. April made us feel that our dream was always within reach, and we have been happily living in the condo that we designed together ever since!"

"Recently April helped me remodel our home which had been rented the past 10 years and needed a refresh so we could enjoy it again. We gutted and replaced three bathrooms, and she was so creative with tile combinations that look great and stayed within our budget. She has a great eye for color and provided poster-sized samples of paint so we could get a very good feel for the colors--I love our selections. She helped with furniture selections and found a custom designer at a reasonable price that created some beautiful tables. I loved shopping with April. She saved me so much time by explaining why certain tile would work and gently steering me away from choices that wouldn't work well in my home (and explaining why). She is very easy and fun to work with. I highly recommend Viola Design!"
