- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
STEP ONE - DISCOVERY Do you have a project in mind but you're not sure who to work with or where to start? Let's connect, get to know each other, talk about your goals, and explore how we might be able to serve you in making those dreams a reality. We ask for you to answer our questionnaire, send us photos of your project, and then we do a call. Post call we can send you a scope of work and design fee. STEP TWO - DESIGN PLAN We launch your project onsite where we do a walk through, hear any concerns you might have, discuss potential layouts and any possible spatial challenges. From there, we create a design presentation which includes layouts, palettes, furniture, materials, finishes and colors, millwork, custom cabinetry and much more. Our job is to not only show you what your interiors will look like but what they will feel like as well. We review all this with you and make changes based on your feedback. STEP THREE - INSTALLATION All approved items are put into a proposal and once approved, ordered and tracked until installation. Any oversight of construction and renovation happens throughout the process, coordinating and conducting needed site visits, and clarifying answers from the field. We can course correct or help address any issues that may arise. We want this to be a stress-free experience for all of our clients so we customize our installation around your needs. Finally, every detail is tended to and depending on the space, we've put it all together so that you have the space you love to live, work or play in. This is the best part!

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
There are many misconceptions about what an interior designer does. The main one is that they are only for the wealthy, people who are happy to get rid of what they own and subsequently spend outrageous amounts money on pricey goods famously marked up by absurd percentages. Yes, those people do exist and their homes are ready to be shot for a glossy magazine, but that's not what most interior designers do. Designers are not only for trust fund families. In reality, an interior designer will not only save you money, but will also save you hours of frustration and stress -- which undoubtably is priceless.
