FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For design consultation I charge an hourly fee of $60.00 an hour. For drapery, blinds and other window treatments my design fee is included in the price of labor and materials. For larger staging and consultation jobs I price on a per job basis.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to see the project and have an interview with the potential client. I think it is very important for personalities to mesh. I like to learn as much as I can about the client’s needs and lifestyle in order to create a room that is aesthetically pleasing but fits the needs and budget.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor of Arts from Iowa State University in Interior designs. My background is somewhat unique in that I have also worked in Drapery Workrooms and installed window treatments to designing and providing whole house drawings. I have worked with a wide gamut of customers from small budget conscience clients to high-end homes. I also worked with commercial design and facility planning.
