The Process

Let’s Get In Touch!

Discovery Call

This complimentary 15-minute phone call is to introduce ourselves, briefly discuss your project and determine if we are the right fit.

All projects start with a 2-hour in-home consultation billed at $340 +tax. During this consultation, we will get to know each other! 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.

As part of the initial consultation, we will talk about your overall visions, problem areas, style preference, budget, and administrative tasks. Our discussions will provide you with guidance, regardless of whether you decide to move forward with other services.

Once your consultation is booked, I will send you a welcome package, as well as a link to my client questionnaire. These items are to be completed and returned along with the design fee of $340 + tax, no later than 48 hours prior to the consultation. If these are not received on time your consultant may need to be rescheduled.

Following the consultation, I will create a scope of work and estimate outlining any further services.

Upon acceptance of the scope of work, I will begin designing your space! I will create preliminary drawings & concept boards that include inspirational items; both may include multiple options. Once I’ve reviewed all aspects of your design, we will meet to have a design progress review to make sure I’m on the right track.

Once the design concepts are approved, I will start curating the products and materials. Samples will be ordered, and the final drawings will be detailed to carefully illustrate my design intent, preparing them for supplier & contractor quoting and any required consultants. We will then meet for the final review, and I’ll present the entire design to you!

During this phase, I will coordinate tasks such as quotes & estimates from suppliers & contractors. If required, I will have various site visits throughout the renovation, for design quality control and maintaining communication with the contractor.

Upon completion of the project, when the paint has dried, and the last finishing touch has been put in place, we will review the project to make sure that you are happy with the final result. My goal is to make sure that I have met or exceeded your expectations and that you are satisfied with the way your new home looks and feels. Then it’s time to sit back and enjoy your beautiful new space!
