FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For consultations, design guidance, and smaller or more flexible scopes, my rate is $225 per hour. For more comprehensive projects involving multiple rooms, renovations, furnishings, or a combination of both- I typically create a custom flat design fee based on the scope, square footage, and level of involvement required. This is often the best fit for clients who want me to take a project from concept through completion, including design development, selections, sourcing, and final styling. Flat-fee projects generally range from approximately $1500 for a small, focused scope to $10,000+ for more extensive projects. For larger residential projects, commercial spaces, and new construction, I may price the design scope by square footage, typically ranging from $10–$15 per square foot, depending on the complexity and services required. Once I understand the scope of the project, I’ll recommend the pricing structure that makes the most sense so clients know exactly what to expect before we begin.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to begin every project with an initial phone consultation to learn about the space, understand the scope, and make sure we’re a good fit for one another. This is really the discovery phase, where we talk through lifestyle, priorities, budget, practical needs, and ultimately how you want your home to feel. Usually from there, I move into the conceptual phase and create what I call a Design Map- a visual roadmap that establishes the overall aesthetic, palette, materials, and direction for the project. Depending on the scope, this can also include initial space planning and photorealistic AI visualization so clients can begin to see the transformation before we move into the details. For renovation and design-build projects, I can develop the concept further with detailed 3D renderings, material and finish specifications, and technical plans that give contractors a clear framework for execution. For clients looking for a true A-to-Z experience, I can carry the project from initial concept through completion- including sourcing and procurement of furniture, lighting, art, and accessories, coordination throughout the process, and finally, styling the space so that the finished home feels layered, personal, and complete.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from The College of New Jersey, with additional studies in textiles at Parsons, The New School. But my education extends far beyond the classroom. With more than 20 years of professional design experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the most respected names across fashion, interiors, publishing, and luxury materials- including Kelly Wearstler, Michael Kors, Himatsingka America, Condé Nast, and Artistic Tile. That breadth of experience has shaped the way I approach interiors today, with a strong foundation in color, pattern, materiality, composition, and the details that make a space feel truly considered.
