“Benita and her company have been a pleasure to work with. From professionalism to attention to detail, everything is beyond a clients expectation…truly a designer that has pride in her craft!
On a personal note, the privilege of partnering with Benita is a source of immense satisfaction. Her professionalism and methodical approach reflect the hallmarks of her work. These qualities coalesce harmoniously with her team’s congeniality, knowledge, and skill set. Engaging with Benita and her team promises to be an experience that leaves no room for regret.
In summary, a collaboration with Benita and her team is a venture graced by the promise of excellence and ingenuity.”
“Benita and her team of designers and partner contractors were a pleasure to work with. Everyone was professional, insightful, and honest. I chose BCD because I thought the style showcased on the firm’s social media and website were precisely the vibe I was looking for when it came to my home’s powder room renovation. Benita and her team knew the right questions to ask to figure out the vision I had for my home, what my personal style was, and what worked best for my family. Benita and designer Katie G knew my own style better than I did, and did the essential work of helping me edit my ideas and inspiration down to the essential elements. I was pleased with the design results and the quality of work. I look forward to working with BCD on future home projects. Highly recommend.”

“Benita truly has an eye for “seeing” and reflecting her clients’ personality back through her design concepts. She took an impossibly tight master bathroom/closet configuration AND a remarkably bland guest bathroom and created distinct yet complementary ideas for both bathrooms from a few personal effects in our home. Further, her team’s infectious energy and network of reputable contractors ensured the design concepts were brought to the finish line. We couldn’t have done this without her.”
“It’s been a pleasure to work with Benita and her extended network of pros on our design project. Everyone has been professional, creative, helpful, and fun to work with. Likewise, we’re thrilled with the results to date and look forward to continue working together.”
“Benita and her team are amazing designers. I had Benita work on two projects, my home and my business office. She’s an amazing designer. I love what she designed so much because its so different than anything else you see out there. You definitely wont get cookie cutter with Benita! I highly recommend her. She’s also great with keeping lines of communication open and she always makes herself available to her clients. Every little hurdle we encountered we overcame as a team. I really appreciate you and thank you from the bottom of my heart 💚.”
“As soon as I stepped foot into WildFeather Distillery in Haddonfield I knew my next salon must be designed by their designer Benita Cooper. After signing my lease for my 2nd location in town my first call was to Benita. We hit it off in our conversation and I knew she understood my vision. Benita, Jaime, and Katie guided me along every step of the design process along with Coop Forge Mobile. Every single detail was perfectly curated and thought out. Crimson East captures my personality and brand to a tee!!! Thank you Benita and your entire team for making my dream a reality!”
“I was truly amazed by the experience we had working with Benita. Initially, I believed we had a solid grasp of what we were doing, but her ability to ask such thought-provoking and meaningful questions completely shifted our perspective. Her insightful inquiries went straight to the heart of the matter and prompted us to reevaluate our approach in ways we hadn’t even considered. Benita’s expertise has truly elevated the project, and we’re grateful for the fresh insights she’s brought to the table.
Benita’s support has been invaluable, and we can’t thank her enough for her contributions. We’re genuinely looking forward to the journey ahead with her assistance, and we’re confident that her expertise will continue to make a significant impact on our project’s success.”
“This project feels so different than any I have been part of over the years (and there have been many). I am hopeful it will continue in this manner. It has been a pleasure and I believe it is from the tone you have set. I cannot thank you enough and you make it look effortless!”
“We had a great experience working with Benita and her team on our kitchen design. It was a fun and collaborative process that resulted in a beautiful design. Benita and her team have been a pleasure to work with and do excellent design work. We look forward to doing more projects with them in the future!”
“Benita, you have been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Your design expertise and creativity influenced every aspect of our project. I say ‘Our project,’ because I always felt included and heard. You made the design fit seamlessly into already existing areas of my home. Everything looks like it has always been there, only much better. Thank you Benita for holding my hand, guiding me and encouraging me to go for it!”
“Benita, from the moment you stepped into our house, I knew you were our girl! Your professionalism, attention to detail, and personable manner with clients make it no wonder you are so successful. You delivered on everything you promised (and then some!), there were no surprises, and everything turned out better than we could have possibly imagined. Thank you for having the insight to move that bathroom door a few inches (haha), for your ‘emergency’ curtain house call, and for always being available with timely and thoughtful responses throughout this process. To say we are grateful is honestly an understatement. Thank you again for everything. We hope to work with you again in the future.”
“Working with Benita has been a thoroughly rewarding experience. The process she employs engages both the creative and practical, the timely and timeless. Our house had a useless wall with a useless table that gathered mail, boxes, and other random objects discarded throughout a busy week. And now we are on the verge of having not only an incredible eating area for our family and friends, but a center point for our home. Sitting in our new built-in bench somehow integrates the entirety of the floorplan of our home. It’s a happy place to be.
The process is not without effort, but most things worth an investment of resources end up better because of not only the amount of effort, but the quality and leadership involved. And that is what Benita fosters. She helped introduce us to skilled, thoughtful, and friendly contractors (for real) who clearly are aligned with the vision. She encouraged our independent decision making and stepped in when asked and when her experience deemed it was necessary.
She’s also become a fan and friend of ours and we’re happy to share her name as a trusted recommendation when you are interested in working with an architect who designs, builds, finishes, and consults - from the studs to the shelves.”
“I am extremely happy to be working with Benita Cooper Design! I met with two architects before contracting BCD. My minimal experience with them was lackluster. My experience with Benita has been a pleasure. She is thorough, pro-active, creative, prompt, knowledgeable, organized, has a deep network of ancillary and relevant professional referrals and she employs a dynamic team. I am enjoying her input! Thank you!”
“It is altogether proper and fitting for this Legislature… to acknowledge Benita Cooper as a woman of strong character and fortitude… This Legislature hereby lauds Benita Cooper, pays tribute to her meritorious record of excellence within all the spheres of her life and work, and extends sincere best wishes for her continued success in all future endeavors… To earn this honour, Benita Cooper has secured innumerable accomplishments as a woman of color who owns the thriving Benita Cooper Design firm, a respected bastion of chic architectural, interior, and furniture styles through which she has collaborated with many clients to both preserve historical integrity and fashion new ventures that enhance the aesthetics of any given project. ”
“Benita Cooper is amazing! She has a magic eye that helped us select different patterns, textures, and materials to create extraordinary spaces! Benita has been wonderful during the renovation of our first floor including our kitchen with a new bathroom and mud room. She has worked with us to develop a new floor plan that makes our home not only more functional but a more enjoyable place to live! Highly recommend Benita for any project!”
“Working with Benita and her team has been a pleasure. She has helped realize a vision for our home in a way that exceeds our expectations. From the big picture use of our space to the tiny little details, the project is creating a beautiful space for our family to call home. She and her team take an overwhelming process and make it personal. I highly recommend BCD!”
“Benita is thoughtful and very perceptive about your personal style. She works well within a tight budget, is efficient, and gives many options when it comes to how you want to work with her. She thinks out of box and comes up with many ideas for your rooms, and is really good at optimizing space and suggesting ways to push you out of your box just a little. I highly recommend Benita as she is a delight to work with and incredibly knowledgeable!”
“Our completely renovated kitchen, powder room, and mudroom has many beautiful touches and our style incorporated in a way that fits the rest of our home while also being unique and so well designed. Equally appreciated is the functionality for our growing family. The kitchen has many zones and counter areas for all the tasks. The walnut pieces, gunmetal fixtures, the new lighting, and the fun powder room are a few of our favorite design aspects. We were thrilled to work with Benita without whose keen sense, expert eye, and ability to narrow in on selections - we would not have had the great new space we have today.”
“Benita is a rarity in the design and construction industry. She knows how to handle a tough client with humor and grace, understands the technical detail and has the bench behind her to handle the various challenges as they arise, and communicates clearly about design, work process, and business terms. Most importantly, Benita knows how to collaborate, listen, and enhance client’s ideas and bring them through the steps needed to turn dreams into realities.”
“Benita Cooper isn’t a stranger to awards. She and [her architecture firm] have reaped numerous accolades from national architecture organizations and magazines.”
“Benita is amazing! She helped us with a few projects, including updating the kitchen (picking tile, fixtures, countertops, paint colors, etc.), a redesign of the fireplace, and a complete master bathroom remodel. She is an architect and a designer, so she can help you throughout the entire process. She is extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented. She will work with you on the design until it is perfect! (She takes your project as seriously as she would a project for her own house.) She has an impeccable sense of style and, best of all, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet!”
“Working with Benita Cooper Design was amazing! Benita is enthusiastic, proactive, creative, and provides wonderful advice. Benita thinks of the things a normal homeowner wouldn’t even know to ask and her attention to detail is top notch. Benita helped me with a redesign of the exterior of my house. Her renderings were extremely helpful and allowed me to see the full potential for the house. She goes above and beyond her duties at all times and I would recommend her to anybody looking for design assistance.”
“Benita is currently working with us on our Florida home renovation project. We love her creative nature and her unique spatial awareness. Benita has provided us with ‘spot on’ recommendations and design composition for our small space environment. Her results brought real ‘tears and chills’ and has delighted us beyond what we imagined ‘could be’. Benita is responsive and delivers results in real time. We look forward to building more beautiful spaces with her insights, organization ability and talented design capabilities.”
“I am seeing how Benita communicates and coordinates with everyone and it is really impressive. I just wanted to compliment her for her attention to detail and hard work. I can’t imagine getting this project off the ground without her.”
“Benita recently finished my basement which was a design + function challenge, to say the least, and it turned out better than we could have imagined! We mixed high and low-end finishes to hit a target budget and overall look.”
“We have been working with Benita Cooper on a project and she has been outstanding. Her design is stunning and she really has our best interest at heart. She has been super available and very flexible as my husband and I both have crazy schedules. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with her especially as new homeowners who aren’t the creative mind type.”
“Benita Cooper is incredible. We are using her now. Can’t say enough about her. Highly recommend!”
“I currently have the pleasure of working with Benita of Benita Cooper Design on a home renovation project. Benita is a talented, artistic designer with excellent communication skills and a winning personality. She immediately understands your needs and meets challenges in the project with enthusiasm and excitement. I am thankful to have been referred to her and would not hesitate to recommend her services which include not only design, but other specialties that support the design/architecture industry.”
“I had Benita help us draft several plans for our complete home renovation. She was fantastic to work with. Benita will work within your budget, suggest practical ideas for the project and she is available to you. I really felt comfortable having Benita because of her experience and expertise in construction, design, finishing touches and management of the project. Benita is so lovely to work with – reach out to her to see for yourself!”
“When we set out to renovate our historic home, we wanted a designer who would deeply understand and respect the history of our home yet offer challenging and fresh design solutions. Benita Cooper was all of that and more. She worked with us to select the perfect tiles, colors, cabinets and fixtures to transform our rooms into unique works of art that also work together. Benita was with us through the entire renovation process - through all the ups and downs - offering guidance and finding solutions to problems as they happened. I highly recommend using Benita Cooper for any and all home projects!”
“We wanted a space that was stylish but livable, with an ability to contain our tendency to make piles. We now live in our space, awed by its beauty and amazed by its ability to accommodate our lifestyle.”
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Benita on several projects after working with several designers before her... she takes the cake. From aesthetics to design, she always goes the extra mile and takes the necessary time to understand her clients’ wants and needs so the finished product is always sure to please.”
“I engaged with Benita at a desperate stage in a large development project with multiple businesses... the very beginning! We had literally been left “at the alter” by another designer and we were despondent. Fortunately, it was the BEST thing that could have happened (more on “best” things later). Almost immediately, we had a clear approach, process, and timeline LED by Benita. Her communications are exceptional and her availability is almost remarkable. Benita’s rare artistic vision seamlessly combined with crisp architectural design/experience... were rapidly evident. She masterfully made the complexity of thematically marrying an overarching entity with/between its four unique spaces... clear. Plus... it needed to happen within an iconic and historic building... no small feat for a single space. Oh, and let’s not forget the common spaces... not even her responsibility at the start but, because she is so passionate about the final outcome... she is handling it as well! Her seemingly limitless capacity also doesn’t hurt. I mentioned how she LEADS earlier. That leadership (with firm professionalism and a huge smile) is omnipresent with her team, our consultants, and with my partner and I! That communication is never rigid either. Firm with due dates, yes but, with constant iterative dialogue, collaboration, and partnership... that Benita inspires NATURALLY! Finally... expertise, execution, and results are obviously the musts in any business relationships. With Benita... you get a HUGE plus-plus: an incredible heart filled with altruistic intention! This fact would be enough... in Benita’s case, it is only the beginning. Her BEST DAY of MY LIFE SO FAR non-profit is a tireless pursuit of inspirational stories and empowerment of our adult storytellers to reduce senior isolation and promote inter-generational engagement through storytelling. WOW! Intelligence. Creativity. Experience. Work Ethic. Altruism. I am SO HAPPY... we were desperate... then lucky and blessed... to work with and more importantly, get to know, BENITA COOPER. I think you should get to know Benita, BCD, and BDoMLSF too!!!”
“Being a renovation, rehabilitation and 1x close construction-perm lender in Philadelphia, I have the great fortune of working with some of the best in the business. I was asked to oversee in an in town location move/brand re-birth in Haddonfield for a unique, gourmet sandwich shop. My only condition was that it was done with an investment grade business plan on only the #1 professionals. Some Divine intervention led us to Benita Cooper. From meeting 1, her clear path to brand and design excellence was mapped out, costs broken down upfront and commitment to excellence was forged before meeting 2. From there, Benita was proactively there every step of the way through a tedious/detailed Conditional Use/Site Waiver process, testifying as an expert, gaining an approval, took the owner through the process with proactive communication and has created a vision and tangible brand that will redefine a part of Kings Highway East which will extend the downtown and be the HQ for the brand and increase the business revenue/enjoyment for residents and tourists alike. Hiring Benita was a wise choice and will make the process with the Small Business Administration smooth.”
“I am truly blessed to be able to work with such an amazing architect/designer. The process has been nothing but exceptional. Benita has challenged me to think deeply about EVERY aspect of the design of my shop, from the the space between the items on our shelves, down to how the smallest pop of colors and material can enhance customers’ moods. She is very precise and extremely easy to work with. Her design work speaks for itself and is at a caliber unmatched by other local designers. I highly recommend anyone looking for the BEST experience to use BCD.”
“Rave reviews for Benita Cooper Design! I moved into a “new to me” old home a few months ago and was completely overwhelmed with where to start. I knew I wanted to make the house feel like my own but started to question what my true style even was! I reached out to Benita, just to see if an interior designer might be what I wanted. And it was the right decision! She helped me to really go inside and put in words and visuals what I liked. The things I came up with totally surprised me because they were not the “safe” design options I would typically have chosen in the past... but they came from me and not from her, and that’s what I love about her! She encouraged me to trust myself and trust my style and she helps me to execute decisions (which I am notoriously not good with since my style can be so varied). Benita is always available, she stays organized and on task (another thing I am not good at!) And lastly, she is FUN and has become a dear friend. I trust her! I highly recommend Benita to anyone, especially people like me who need to bounce their ideas off someone and need help coming out of their (boring) comfort zone!”
