FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All payments due up front. FREE DISCOVERY CALL ************************** I may charge a flat fee and or hourly based on the size and scope of the project. Consultation 2 hrs $350 In person consult in your home (up to 30 miles away). Can be used as a 1 time meeting to give ideas and solutions and to point you in the right direction for your project. Or can be used as a consult to set up for Designer For a Day or Designer By Your Side services. HARD FINISH SELECTIONS/CUSTOM BUILD$125hr/custom flat fee based on scope of project. I can bring samples directly to you (tile, granite, flooring, carpet, fixtures, etc.) or meet with you at the source store to make selections. A typical new build project requires approximately 20 to 150hours of design time. Even for a single room, there are often hundreds of selections to make, and my role is to ensure that every detail flows cohesively throughout the home. This includes everything from flooring, paint colors, and countertops to knobs, door styles, tile, molding, lighting, cabinets, carpet, and stairs. To help visualize the design before final selections are made, I provide mood boards that preview the overall look and feel of the space. For most projects, a down payment of approximately $3,000 to $10,000 is required, depending on the scope of work, timeline and total cost can run up to $45,000 for hard finish selections not including furniture and accessorizing.

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Design concept phase: I dive deep with you to understand your vision and then translate your needs and preferences into initial space plans, mood boards, and material suggestions. I'll select specific furniture, finishes, and fixtures to bring your vision to life.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
From producing TV shows with Linens and Things to the Trumps, to designing accessories for high end women's boutiques, my creativity runs the gamut. Designing for a home is a natural offshoot of fashion design and wardrobe styling and I love to merge the two.
