Introduction: When starting a new project I like to meet my clients face-to-face not only to determine the client's design preferences and budget but to find out how the space will be used. For example, I might inquire about a family's cooking habits if the family is remodeling a kitchen or ask about a clients favorite color or style to pick an appropriate motif. I believe in creating a personal oasis for my clients that they can cherish for years to come.
