E-design is a seamless online collaboration between myself, the designer, and you, the client, focused on creating a beautiful and functional space without the need for in-home visits or extensive project coordination.

Through email, my virtual design studio & video chat, I will collaborate with you to create a custom design plan. The final completed design, with all the components, will be sent to you as a PDF to your email. Fast and easy!
So, whether you’re revamping your existing interior or starting with a fresh palette, I can assist you in creating your dream space!

The Process

In the e-design process, I will thoughtfully curate selections to craft beautiful and functional spaces that enhance your life and reflect your unique vision. While I guide the design journey, you play a pivotal role in bringing the vision to life by purchasing and arranging all the elements. E-design offers you the opportunity to maximize your budget, allocating more funds towards décor while providing the flexibility to gradually build the room over time, allowing you to make purchases at your convenience.

First, I need to hear from you! Visit my website, and explore it! Select the e-design package that suits your needs, and fill out the online design questionnaire submitting all required information. I will then be in touch via email to book your online consultation and send you a welcome package, which includes the scope of work agreement to be returned with a 50% design retainer prior to the consultation.

Not sure which package to select or maybe you have a few questions; contact me and we can schedule a 15 min complimentary call to chat.

Required Information in the questionnaire

  • Measurements of your room, fixed elements and window and door placement
  • Any inspiration photos or links to Pinterest or Houzz
  • Photos of your space from every angle
  • Photos and measurements of any pieces of furniture you would like to keep
  • Instructions for measuring and taking photos are available for download in the questionnaire.

This initial meeting is where we will discuss your project in detail, get to know each other, and review the scope of work and your budget. I want to learn as much as I can about you, your family, and the way you use your space so that your design is everything you hoped it would be!

This is where I begin designing your space! During this time, we may have some back-and-forth communication to answer any questions that might come up along the way.
Upon completion of the design development phase, we will schedule an online meeting to review the design together. Having a video meeting allows me to easily explain and show you my thoughts and the process behind my design decisions.
You will then have access to the designs through my Virtual Design Studio, allowing you to review and make comments. At this time, you may request one round of revisions that are included with your package.

Once the revisions have been completed you’ll receive an email that includes your master design plan, as a PDF package, with everything you need to execute your new design.

Now it’s your turn to take over! You will be responsible for purchasing, receiving, and installing all products. Complete your room on your own timeline, purchase products at your own leisure and remember, HAVE FUN!

*One hour of design follow-up is included with your package this can be done via phone, email, or video chat.

I’m so grateful I contacted Amanda to help choose paint colours! She knew exactly the colour that would work and which would suit me.
