~ Discovery As an essential first step in our design process, we will schedule a discovery call. After our call, we will provide an interior design assessment form to gather as much information about you, your space, and your needs. The next step is site visit where we get to know each other, as well as walk through the space to discuss your vision in more detail. You're excited and want to know more! ~ Design Proposal We provide an outline detailing the proposed scope of work, our contract details, and project fee structure. If you decide we are a good fit, we move forward to design development. We are officially working together! ~ Design Development Measuring space, floor plans, budget, concept development, presentation with proposed layouts, materials and finishes. Construction or renovation review. And the fun begins!
