One client's six-year-old renamed her "Kitchen Mary", and the nickname anchors an April 2025 review that runs close to a thousand words - written by a couple who had spent eight years putting off gutting their kitchen and then took exactly one designer meeting before deciding. Cutting Edge Design is Mary Donaruma, working out of Studio 10B on High Street in Mansfield. She grew up in the trade: her father was a cabinet maker and later a cabinet designer, and, in the site's words, "her mentor and first employer". She started the business in 2010 and opened the Mansfield studio in January 2014. The Houzz page carries 186 project portfolios and a 5.0 across 70 ratings, with the newest review posted at the end of July 2026. The expertise the reviews keep describing is layout. A November 2024 couple got their design out of a home visit and an interview about how they actually cook, because the kitchen had to work for two cooks - one left-handed, one right-handed - with different asks. Another client that month had a small, dated kitchen opened up and came away talking about the storage. In March 2026 a homeowner had a kitchen and a bathroom done together and singled out how quickly she answers. Her address book comes up almost as often. The April 2025 couple credited her with connecting them to the contractor who did the demolition and rebuild, and with pointing them toward flooring and countertop help; a July 2026 client arrived through a friend she had worked for, and a January 2026 client through several. Which points at the thing to settle before calling: she designs, and someone else builds. Reviewers describe her communicating with their contractor, coordinating material deliveries, and in one case supplying the contractor - but the construction contract is not hers. The BBB lists the company as a two-person corporation with an A+ grade, not accredited. So if you want a kitchen laid out properly first - clearances, workflow, storage, cabinets specified to the inch - and you are comfortable hiring the builder separately, that is precisely the job she does. Bring your cooking habits to the first meeting; by several accounts, that is what she designs around.
Mary was the best part of our remodel job...and we found her via Houzz. She is awesome. She has great vision, pays attention to every detail, and available 24x7. We saw some of her previous designs, and knew it was a good fit after that first call. She did wonders to our house in New Seabury. Very happy with the kitchen and how it turned out. Everyone has good things to say about how it looks, and Mary made it stress free. I know she will post some offical pictures once we have the time, but have been through a few remodels, and she was our favorite. Give her a go, you won't be disappointed.
I can’t say enough good things about Mary and her team at Cutting Edge Design! At first, I thought I could tackle my kitchen renovation by myself, but I quickly realized I needed some expert help. A friend of mine, who was absolutely thrilled with her work, recommended Mary to me, and I’m so grateful she did! Mary helped us create a kitchen design that’s not only beautiful but also practical for years to come, all while keeping us within budget. She was always there to answer our questions, and her suggestions were incredibly thoughtful. We’re absolutely over the moon with the final result and can’t wait to work with her on our bathroom renovation soon. I highly recommend Cutting Edge Design to anyone looking to upgrade their home!
Working with Mary at Cutting Edge Design was wonderful! She completely transformed my kitchen and bathroom into beautiful, functional spaces that exceeded all my expectations. Mary combines incredible creativity with meticulous attention to detail, and her exceptional communication skills made the entire remodel smooth and stress-free. She responds quickly, listens carefully, and genuinely cares about getting everything perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the results—Mary is simply outstanding, and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Mary—you’re the best!
We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen! It turned out perfectly, thanks to Mary at Cutting Edge Design. Our family and neighbors were openly impressed with the cabinetry--both color and design. I am glad that Cutting Edge was recommended by several friends and that we selected them. Mary is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Her guidance and suggestions were invaluable to us. She is the best!
