FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices vary based on project size, location, and scope. Depending on the needs of the project we offer hourly and flat-rate packages. We work with clients of various budgets to help them achieve their design goals.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
STEP 1 -DISCOVERY. Every project begins with a conversation. We offer a complimentary call to hear about your space, your goals, and what you're hoping to create. It's also a chance to make sure we're the right fit for each other, because that matters too. From there, we move into an in-person design consultation where we go deeper: budget, aesthetic direction, the things that aren't working and the vision for what could. Everything we need to begin shaping a design proposal that is built around you, not borrowed from somewhere else. STEP 2 - PRESENTATION. Once we have your approval to move forward, we schedule a site visit to take detailed measurements and photograph your space. It's a quiet but necessary step, the foundation everything else is built on. From there, we get to work. When we're ready to present, we bring the concept to life in full: floor plans, 3D renderings, material samples you can hold and see in real light, and a curated selection of furnishings and finishes. We walk you through every decision and why we made it, then refine until the design feels exactly right. Your approval is the only thing that moves us forward, and we don't rush it. STEP 3 - EXECUTION. Once the design is finalized and every selection approved, we begin assembling the right team to bring it to life. Depending on the scope, that means engaging architects, contractors, and craftsmen whose work we trust. We manage those relationships on your behalf. We also handle all procurement, placing and tracking every order so that nothing falls through the cracks. STEP 4 - FINAL INSTALL. When construction is complete and every piece has arrived at our receiving warehouse, we coordinate a full installation day. Furniture is placed, artwork is hung, accessories are styled. We don't leave until the room looks the way it was always meant to. Once the last detail is in place, it belongs to you. Not a project any longer, but a home.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Level III Certificate for Interior Design Professional from Saddleback College which includes nearly 4 years of education learning everything from the fundamentals of interior design all the way up to commercial design, including Advanced CAD, Adobe Creative Suite, Sketchup for 3D rendering, Building Codes, Kitchen and Bath Design and more. I have also interned under several well-established interior designers in Laguna Beach and was Supporting Designer at a firm in San Juan Capistrano, all working in high-end residential interior and architectural design.
