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.

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.
