FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My design fees vary, as do the complexity of projects. Stating a fee schedule would be unfair to both of us. Generally, I charge an initial consultation fee, starting at $75 / 1 hr. This, of course, depends on the location.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
An initial consultation allows us to lay out the details of the project, which includes the budget, time frame, and other expectations and requirements. If I see that I cannot proceed with your project (for whatever reason), there will not be a charge.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in Interior Design & Housing from the University of Kentucky. Later, I partnered with a licensed architect for 11 years. During this time, I worked on many residential projects, both renovation and new construction. We also did commercial design (professional and medical offices, banking, restaurant, etc.). In addition, I worked for a high end boat manufacturer, designing approx. 500 boats. My job began with the floor plan, followed by all furnishings and finishes. With the spacial limitations of a boat, expert space planning is a necessity. This experience added immensely to my skill set.
