- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First talking with the client to learn what their needs are and if we seem to be on the same page regarding their design interests. I think it is helpful if the client can flip through magazines and tag pages of work they like or if they have a Pinterest page that we can review. It gives me a good idea of what their style is or what inspires them. Then, of course, I would like to see the space, take measurements and pictures. After that is completed I will provide a quote. At that point, I will start researching styles for window treatments, furniture, accessories, etc. I will provide pictures, floor plans, color charts, and pricing before items are purchased or installed. I will also shop with the client if that is preferred. Once items, services are agreed upon we can move forward.
