FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is actually pretty simple: I charge $25/hr for retail shopping and spending time with the client making those small design decisions. This is kinda like my A la Carte menu. I charge $35/hr for furniture rearranging and existing item placement. This is what most clients price at since they want to freshen up their space and infuse a new life into their furnishings. I charge $45/hr for home staging since this takes a bit of methodical positioning as the main goal may be to achieve the most appealing vision of your home. Clients seeking this service are either selling their homes and want the best offer possible or are getting ready for a special occasion or holiday. I charge $75/hr for full design work including but not limited to custom design work, architectural drawings, renderings, contractor/designer arrangements, material specification and much more. But most importantly remember, I WORK WITHIN YOUR BUDGET!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As part of a designers licensing we are mandated to have a certain number of hours of CEU's (continuing education units). These classes are a wide range from: How to design green, Working with passive solar design, and other topics that are low environmental impact.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always been drawn to creative arts and design and knew that one day I would be doing something that involved creativity. The opportunity presented itself and I decided it's now or never.
