INITIAL CONSULTATION
+ PROJECT PROPOSAL

Once you’ve determined we’re a good fit for your project,
we’ll schedule an Initial Consultation at your home.

This includes a walk-through, measurements, and extensive discussion of your goals, style and timeline. We provide clients with our free Budgeting Guide and make a plan for their investment.

Afterwards, we provide clients with a Project Proposal outlining a broad design vision and detailed scope of work.

3.

DESIGN PLAN
+ IMPLEMENTATION

Once the client signs off on the Project Proposal, we begin our collaboration. We’ll provide floor plans, mood boards, mockups, and elevations as needed. Together, we will review the selections and make any adjustments based on feedback.
We’ll also track budgets and get any contractors or tradespeople on board, pulling together a project schedule. When the design plan is confirmed, we will arrange procurement and installation, bringing your new space to life.


We believe strongly in the value we provide our clients. Working with a designer is a nominal percentage of any project budget, yet doing so protects and enhances the investment as a whole.

Our Value

  • Our experience enables us to anticipate and resolve problems arising from the complexity of the design process, avoiding costly mistakes.

  • Our process ensures a cohesive plan in which all elements work in harmony to maximize the function and style of the entire space within a particular budget.

  • We provide guidance on where to invest, and where to find value, ensuring your money is spent wisely.

  • Our immersion in the design industry gives us perspective on the longevity of trends, and how to create a space that is unique and timeless, ensuring your investment gives you joy for years to come.

  • Our relationships give you access and confidence when buying and hiring. We leverage these relationships to advocate for you throughout the project.

  • One of the most important services we provide is removing the stress, decision-fatigue, and time commitment of the design process from our clients’ lives.

  • Time and again, our clients praise our designs as beyond what they had imagined. Our solutions and ideas are born of years of design experience and creative obsession, and we approach every project as a work of art. The most important way we provide value is by creating a design that exceeds our clients’ expectations.
