WORK WITH US
At Moonstone Design + Build, we know transforming your home is a big decision.
As a woman-owned studio, we bring a perspective shaped by culture, curiosity, and a deep respect for the homes we work in.
Our work often centers on honoring the character of a space while helping it evolve — creating homes that feel both timeless and fully aligned with the way our clients live today.
That’s why our approach is built around collaboration, transparency, and thoughtful design.
Ways We Can Work Together
Every home — and every project — is different. Our approach is built around understanding how you live, what inspires you, and what will make your space feel truly yours. From early ideas to the final details, we guide the process with thoughtful design, clear communication, and a collaborative spirit that keeps you connected every step of the way.

Because we both design and build under one company, ideas don’t get lost between drawings and construction. Your vision stays intact from the first design consult to the final walkthrough.
Design + Build Together
Your home should reflect who you are. We design spaces inspired by your experiences, your lifestyle, and the things that matter most to you, translating them into thoughtful materials, color, and form.
Design From Your Story
Every project begins with the bones of the home. We study the history, architecture, and proportions of the space before making changes. The best renovations don’t erase the past. They build on it.

EXPLORE OUR PROCESS
Our process guides you from the first conversation through design, construction, and the final details with clear communication and thoughtful collaboration. Every step is organized so you can focus on the fun of watching your home transform.
At Moonstone Design + Build, remodeling is designed to feel exciting — not overwhelming.
The Moonstone Process
Featured Projects
Every Moonstone interior begins with thoughtful planning and ends with a space that feels layered, personal, and lived in.
My work is inspired by the color, texture, and energy found in places around the world. Growing up in Nicaragua and traveling widely shaped my design perspective and continue to influence the spaces we create.
At Moonstone, every project begins with your story and your vision. Your home should feel like a refuge — a place that reflects who you are and the world that inspires you. We bring our global influences into each renovation to create homes that feel layered, personal, and full of character.
As a designer and builder, I believe the spaces we live in shape the way we feel every day.

Our Story
learn more about us
- Kasey H.
“After receiving multiple estimates for our remodel, we ended up choosing Moonstone. We knew Lidia would be able to achieve the aesthetic we were looking for. We have had our new basement for several months now and really love it! It functions and looks exactly like we wanted and Moonstone made that happen! "
- Lann B.
“I was looking for a designer/contractor that wasn’t afraid of bold design choices. Lidia came up with a perfect bathroom design for our MCM home and worked with me as we finalized the product/materials. The quality of work her team did - especially tile - was incredible. The entire Moonstone team worked tirelessly to make sure we were happy with the final product - we are so happy! Can’t wait to work with them again on our kitchen!"
- Megan S.
"We had a great experience with the team at Moonstone and LOVE our bathroom! They noticed issues before we did and made our room look like a piece of art."
- Nikolas H.
"Before the remodel, there was little we could think to do with such a small space. But Lidia and her team transformed every last inch of the room so that it feels as though it has doubled in size, where every inch is functional and pleasing to the eye. Lidia's team were very friendly and helpful every step along the way. We would definitely work with Lidia and her team in the future."
- Mike P.
“We recently hired Moonstone for a MAJOR renovation including a 2-level addition, complete overhaul of our kitchen, and a bathroom upgrade. We vetted numerous contractors and it was clear right away that Lidia had the best understanding of what we were looking for. Her passion for design AND function aligned perfectly with our vision."
- C.M.
"Lidia and the team did a wonderful job working toward the vision we had for our remodel. The results were stunning and Lidia worked tireless to ensure we were satisfied with the outcome. She is also a very personable individual, and a sensitive artist. She really "got" our aesthetic. Her team is a joy to work with!"
- Roman K.
"I had the pleasure of working with Lidia on a full home remodel in Highland Park, and I was truly impressed by her exceptional attention to detail + the passion she brings to her work. Her design approach is both innovative and unique, with a remarkable use of color that truly sets her apart from others in the field. The creativity and thoughtfulness she poured into every aspect of the project were evident, and the final result exceeded all expectations."
