FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When a project and price are agreed upon, I collect a down payment to cover materials. Once the products are complete I collect the balance at installation. For staging, I will charge an upfront fee for a 1-2 hour initial consultation. Additional fees will be determined by needs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I find out what the customer needs via e-mail, text, or phone call. I then schedule an appointment to visit them to design and measure. I can provide fabric & paint samples, or work with fabrics that the customer provides. I design window treatments and other soft goods specific to the customer's home or office. Once the fabrication is complete I return to install the finished products. If staging is needed we discuss how much staging is required, and what items to use. If it is for organization, I assess that at the visit.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have designed and fabricated soft goods for 30+ years. I worked for an interior designer for 4 years and managed a large retail home accents department for 8 years. I have assisted with estate sales and helped relocate clients and get them settled into their new home by placing furniture, hanging drapes or blinds, hanging artwork, arranging accessories, and stocking their pantries, kitchens, and bathrooms.
