FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For interior design services, we offer a sliding scale between $85-125/hr based on the client's budget and the scope/ complexity of the project. For custom furniture and metalwork, we provide a quote based on the piece or project. This typically includes all materials, fabrication, delivery, and installation.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We believe in the in-person collaborative design process, so we typically start with a one-hour site visit/consultation to assess the existing conditions of your space and get a clear understanding of the project scope and your inspirations. Shortly after the consultation, we will share with you a detailed outline of the project scope and cost estimate, phase by phase. The initial consultation is $300 and all projects have a minimum of $5000 total in design fees.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our backgrounds are in architecture and blacksmithing. I have my undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon and a Master's degree in architecture. My design experience extends from roles as senior designer to project manager at leading architecture firms in San Francisco, New York and Philadelphia. While my interest and confidence lie in designing intimate residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces, my past projects include ground-up designs of a Honda dealership, a catholic church, and a winery & events hall. Currently, I lead a design-fabrication studio. The technical skills I have acquired through building with my own hands give me full confidence to take on any project from concept through final implementation.
