The first thing we do is set up a complimentary phone call or zoom video which we call your Discovery Call.  Here you’ll get to tell me about yourself and your project. In return you’ll get to know me and about what services I offer, and learn how the interior design process works.

This is where you’ll share all about what is not working in your home and what you’d like it to feel like when it’s done. In other words, what would bring you joy! I’ll ask questions like,  “What is the room going to be used for? Who is going to be using it? We’ll chat about what you think your design style is. For instance, do you like modern farmhouse, contemporary or traditional decor’.  I may even send a quick questionnaire to help discover your specific design style. This is your opportunity to learn about what I can do for you and for me to discover your hopes and dreams for the space.

If we decide we are the right fit for each other, we’ll move forward to the next step.. the In-Home Consultation.

Your In-Home Consultation is where I come to your home or business and we sit down face to face to discuss the possibilities for your space. It usually lasts about 2 hours. This is the perfect time to ask me anything and pick my design brain for ideas. Here we will get a real life in depth look at what the project is all about. We’ll get into the specifics of what the needs are for your room. Are there things you’d like to keep and what things can go? Do you want any walls taken down? How many rooms do you want done?

There are several possible outcomes from the consultation.

1) You take my ideas and run with them. Sometimes you just need affirmation of what you were already planning to do and just needed a professional to guide you a bit. A lot of DIY’ers hire me just for the consultation and then take over on their own.

2) I take all the details and put together a custom package based on what you need. If you express to me that you would like to hire me to handle all the details, I will take a few days to put a plan together and give you a detailed list of what I will design for you. I send you what my design fees would be to do the complete project and you make an informed decision on hiring me as your designer. This way you know upfront, before you hire me, exactly what my design fees would be.**A Note on Your Budget** It’s important we have a clear understanding of your available investment right from the beginning. You tell me what you have set aside and we work together from there. Not sure what budget to set? No problem. We can sit down and run through estimates and set the amount from there.  I value open communication throughout the entire process, especially where we are running with costs and spending. Often times the plans have to change and so I believe it’s great to keep you informed all the way

If you agree with the scope of what I will do for you, we move to step three, The Presentation.

The presentation is super fun. We’ll sit down in my studio and I’ll show you all the floor plans, 3D renderings, fixtures (tile, lighting, cabinets) and the exact furnishings (furniture, window treatments, artwork and decor’) that I have put together to complete your space and make it beautiful. I usually give two floor plan options for you to choose from and you then get to approve all the things you love. If something needs refining, no problem, we tweak the details until you love every bit of  your custom design.

Now that you have approved your design I go to work on procuring all the products for you. Procurement is the designer’s term for purchasing or ‘shop for’ I manage all the details of ordering and shipping for you so you can relax and not worry about anything. I have access to hundreds of wholesale accounts and love to find custom pieces fit just for you.
