How does the design process work?

We start with an introductory meeting or phone call to determine your wants, needs and dreams. Depending on the scope and scale of your project, I'll lay out a schedule and milestones in the form of a proposal. Initial conversations are always complementary. I'd love the opportunity to discuss how we can collaborate.

What type of design services do you offer?

I do residential, multifamily and small commercial TI projects. Everything from small consulting jobs, whether that entails selecting paint colors, or some advice about a DIY remodel, to full remodeling and documentation services for larger remodel or new build projects.

How much do your interior design services cost?

The pricing structure varies depending on the scope of the project and what services you need. Some projects are billed at hourly rate, others may be flat rate or a percentage of project cost. After our initial conversation I'll put together a comprehensive proposal for you to review that fully details the cost of your project, including design fees, a outline of the project timeline and detailed scope of work.

Can I hire your firm for a small project or just a consultation?

Absolutely! I welcome new work regardless of project size. No project is too small.

What is the timeline for completing a project?

Every project is unique, some can be a quick one-time consultation, whereas a full remodel may take several months of design time and months of construction. After our initial conversation we can provide an estimated project length. Keep in mind, many contractors and manufacturers also have a waitlist/lead-time that may be 6 months to a year.

How do you determine the design style for each client?

I like to get to know my client’s personal style and preferences, or in commercial design the brand identity and story that needs to be told. Regardless of your style, whether it's contemporary, traditional, mid-century or, modern. I will help you craft the perfect space to work with your home or business.

Do I need to purchase new furniture, or can you work with existing pieces?

Existing furniture and artwork can always be incorporated, I work hard to bring your personality and heirlooms into your design vision. It’s always rewarding to incorporate pieces that have special memories or history into a refreshed design.

Can you help with color selection and material choices?

Materiality, Color and Lighting are my favorite parts of design! Selecting finishes and creating a color palette whether for a small powder room. The exterior of your home, or, that align with your small business brand.

How involved will I be in the decision-making process?

You can be as involved or removed as you want! Some clients want to select everything personally at a show room; others want a full palette put together for them due to the time commitment of visiting multiple locations to see materials and options. Whatever level of involvement you want is what we will do.

Do you work with specific contractors or can I use my own?

I do not work with any specific contractor, you are welcome to bring your own, or I can help you find and vet contractors making sure you receive the most competitive price and quality from the contractors you choose. If you are a DIYer I can also just help with the decision making process and help you source materials.

Can you assist with sourcing and purchasing furniture and decor?

Yes, I do offer specification & procurement of furniture, whether it is just ordering on your behalf to be delivered, or full white glove installation and staging. There are multiple options, reach out and we can find the solution that is best for your project.

Do you offer virtual design services for clients outside your local area?

Absolutely! With the modern technology we have today I'm happy to accept projects anywhere in the USA. International Projects may be possible depending on scope and location, contact me to discuss.
