FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes I do. I charge $125 per hour for consultations (in person or via phone), new home floor plan assessment, and personal shopping services (full day-in person or half day in person). Other than that, I charge 30% of total budget as my design fee.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My design process starts with a consultation and presentation where we discuss the client's needs and wants for the space(s). At that time, we approve the presentation that usually is submitted within days of the consultation and we each sign the letter of agreement to begin work along with a deposit for the design fee as well as the furnishings, art, accessories, etc. Floor plans are then done after measuring space(s) and the furniture layout is completed. The client is to sign off on floor and furniture plans and then the ordering of the furniture is completed. Lead times for the furniture vary by manufacturer, but we expect 4-10 weeks for furniture to ship. If any problems arise during that time, i.e. backorders or discontinued items, we will alert you and resource immediately upon client's approval. Once furniture is all in at the warehouse, we will schedule a white glove installation, where all furnishings, art, draperies, accessories, and lighting will be installed. Inventory list will be produced days later and a final invoice will be sent to the client for full payment of services.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from The Art Institute of Atlanta with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Interior Design in 2013 with honors. I was immediately hired by a boutique design firm that specialized in boutique hotels, spas, restaurants, retail boutiques, and high-end residential. I then branched off with another design firm that specialized in clubhouses, leasing offices, and model homes. I feel with my varied experiences that I am best for the job.
