Blue Designs Architect - a *****!

Beware of Claire Cardwell & Blue Designs! She is an unqualified architect who operates ************ly, is dishonest & a *****! We engaged her services to design a house. During our first discussion with her she made it clear she wanted a 50% deposit upfront & we reluctantly agreed.<br> We met Claire at site, explained our requirements and sent her our sketches. After some time she produced a basic layout (different to our sketches). We provided detailed feedback to her, after which she responded with excuses regarding the impossibility of our requirements. It felt like she was designing a house for herself. We told her if she felt she could not meet our requirements, to refund our deposit and we would move on. The next time we heard from her, she sent us an invoice that included dubious charges for consultation fees & other costs we were unaware of. She ensured that she covered the amount of the deposit with these dubious charges. We tried to contact her with no success. She rep**** to our letter of demand, sent by our attorneys but refused to return our deposit. She has successfully evaded the sheriff & other tracking agents over the past 3 months.
