FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge a $150 consultation fee that’s applied toward your project if you decide to move forward. There’s also a $75 travel fee for in-person visits, which covers time, gas, and wear on the vehicle. Each project is customized, and I offer both hourly ($75/hr) and flat-rate packages depending on your needs and scope.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a complimentary 10–15 minute discovery call to understand your goals and what you’re hoping to accomplish. From there, we schedule an in-home consultation a one-hour visit secured by a $150 deposit. If we decide we’re not the right fit at the end of that meeting, the deposit is fully refunded. If we move forward, the $150 is applied toward your project. After the consultation, I provide a design package or hourly estimate based on your needs. Most projects require a minimum of 4–5 hours to ensure the level of quality and detail my clients expect. For clients who live farther away or in areas with limited parking, I also offer virtual consultations at a reduced hourly rate. I don’t provide quotes over the phone before seeing the space in person because each home is different lighting, layout, and existing furniture can all affect the final design plan. Seeing it firsthand helps me give you an accurate, fair estimate and the best results possible.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve trained under experienced design mentors and continually study layout planning, cabinetry design, and color theory. I also stay current with material sourcing, interior trends, and practical solutions for real-world spaces especially for clients who want custom looks without overspending.
