FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not follow the norm as far as pricing as a Degreed Interior and Architectural Designer. That is why when you receive a quote from me, it will most likely say that I need more detailed information. I price depending on the scope of work and how detailed the work is. I always come in lower than other designers (as I've been told from my clients & know from being in the Industry). My overhead is low, so I make sure I pass along savings to my clients. I am always willing to talk and negotiate once we have a consultation. In most cases I do charge a consultation fee. This fee covers the time I spend initially before we move into contract. If my services are contracted, that fee will be credited back to you. I feel that any qualified professional should charge a fee for their time. If a professional does not have confidence in themselves and the services they offer, I know I wouldn't trust in their ability to complete my project and secure the best pricing for me. A professional should value and be valued for their time and work.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have purchased & taught myself a few new programs that have become popular in my field since attaining my degree. I like how programs keep improving & so when the opportunity presents itself, so do I! I still very much enjoy hand drafting though, & probably always will.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Just the passion I have for it...and always re-arranging my space even as a child. I love color, fabric, finishes, hand drafting, and pulling it all together.
