my design process

1. DESIGN CALL

We start with a brief call to chat about your project, aspirations, and scope of work.  I can then share my process and see how I can ensure your time, money and energy are well invested. 

2. HOME CONSULTATION

We'll meet at your home and walk through the space to discuss design details. This appointment is generally 1-2 hours and at the end, I'll provide a project budget estimate and design fee quote.

3. proposal

Once we've agreed on the direction, I'll send you a formal proposal outlining the scope of the project and our next steps.

4. presentation meeting

Once we move forward, I start designing your space where I will source all your furniture, create floorplan drawings and put together a budget. We then have a Presentation Meeting, where I will present an imagery package of all selected items, floor plan drawings, and an itemized budget for your review. This will help you visualize the final design.

5. Project Management

Once all is approved, we're on to procurement. I will order all items, coordinate trades and track all your goods the entire process. I fully project manage the process from beginning to end.

6. Installation & Styling

The last step in our design process is the installation. Once all items have arrived, I can then style your space and install all art. I then reconcile your budget and you can enjoy your beautiful new home!
