FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Best Value for Client is to pay me a set amount for the job. Then I pass all of my discounts onto you, the client. For furnishing a new home - say budget is $100,000 for all furnishings, art, lighting, tile, rugs and outdoor furnishings. My discounts with my vendors (to the trade only, meaning you cannot buy from them) will save you $25,000 to $35,000 on the purchase of your items. I can also work hourly and I also do consultations.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We discuss size and scope of project by phone and set a time for me to come out and get to know you. If we decide that we can see working together and having a wonderful productive experience then we set up a contract and get to it.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Interior Design Degree from an accredited College. I have hundreds of hours of additional education in Kitchen and Bath design and whole home renovation and design. I have a Masters in Social Work - which means I can help you thru the tough decision making process, and help you and your partner and kids enjoy the experience. I have traveled to world extensively and lived in Thailand so I enjoy helping you showcase memories of your travels and passions. I am a Certified Green Building Professional and am active with the Green Building Council, ASID, NKBA and BNI here in San Diego.
