Introduction: I have been designing since 2007 when I graduated from the Interior Design program at VCU. Since then I have worked in both the residential and commercial sector and approach every project with one main goal in mind: to help each client maximize the function of each space in a way that speaks to their unique style and budget needs. I firmly believe every person deserves to love their home, so I have intentionally kept my rates at a price the average person can afford. I enjoy exploring a variety of styles and methods including repurposing existing materials and furniture to give new life to a home. I also have 8 years experience working for furniture retailers and can offer insight into what manufacturers have to offer and which ones would be the most appropriate in each circumstance. This ensures that each dollar is spent wisely and with the complete design picture in mind. I love getting to know each client’s unique personality and lifestyle in order to ensure the end result meets their needs and reflects their life in a welcoming, stunning way to each guest.

Abby helped me decide on paint colors for a main floor update we were doing at our house. She was extremely helpful because I had already messed up colors once an had to pay painters a second time. I like how she works by the hour so you can get as much or as little design help as you want. I will be calling on her to help me accessorize and make the basics come together once the cabinets are done. I recommend her without hesitation.

Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Living room • Dining room • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Accessories / art selection • Color palette / paint selection • Contemporary • Midcentury Modern • My home, venue, etc.

Really personable and knows her stuff. We were indecisive about some kitchen renovation options, and she gave us good insight and recommendations. Will definitely use her as our go-to Interior Designer.

It’s been so great working with Abi! She is knowledgeable about her craft and takes the time to get to know her clients and what they are looking for. She listened to my concerns and ideas and gave me the nudge I needed to push out of my comfort zone. And just like she said, I’m so glad I did! Her insight is valuable and she really helped design our space into something that was us! I highly recommend Abi for any design needs you may have!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge hourly and not by the project, this way both the client and I get a fair deal.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically begin each project at the home where I like to listen to my client express their concerns and goals for each space. Then I document the needed dimensions and take before pictures. At a follow up meeting I review with my client the estimated hours it will take to complete the project and the estimated cost. It is also at this meeting that I share some concept images with the client to make sure we are speaking the same design “language” and are on the same page design wise.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelors degree in Interior Design and experience working in both the architectural realm and the furniture retail realm. This gives me the ability to source materials and home furnishings from an insider’s vantage point and thus save my client time and resources.
