FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees are set to provide everyone an opportunity to have professional design help, to create a home you'll love! Prices provided are for one hour and two hour Consultations/Makeovers. Additional time is discounted at the same appointment, and discount packages are available for clients who know they'll want additional help along the way.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After an initial phone or email conversation to determine what the client needs help with and about how much time to allow for in the first appointment, we set up a time to meet at the home. During the appointment, I will take notes and we each get a copy. I take photos, so if you have any questions after the appointment, I can refer back to my notes and photos. Quick follow-up questions while shopping, making furniture moves, etc. that we've discussed, are all included after the initial appointment. If there are lots of questions, I may suggest an additional appointment either at the home, or at your tile, furniture store, etc.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've had formal education for interior design, space planning, CAD drafting, construction materials, structure, residential design, etc. In addition to home staging, interior design, and construction design education and training, I have a Bachelor of Applied Science with a leadership and supervision emphasis that, combined with my natural inclinations, makes me a great mediator between couples on the same project, a creative problem solver, and an approachable professional for project oversight. Whether formal or informal, education is key to understanding current design trends, local code requirements, ups and downs of the real estate environment, and new products that might solve design challenges. I am a lifelong learner, and that dedication to education directly benefits my clients.
