Design Approach
How a typical project comes together
-
1.
Discovery Call
Every project starts with a short, no-commitment video call. You tell me about your home and what you have in mind, and I ask about priorities, timeline, and budget. It’s simply a conversation to get to know each other.

2.
Home Walkthrough & Proposal
We walk through your home together, in person or virtually, and talk about what you love, what isn’t working, and what you’re hoping to change. We look through your Pinterest boards, coordinate taking measurements, and explore some initial ideas. Afterward, I put together a proposal outlining the scope, estimated fees, and timeline.

3.
Concept Design
We explore how you want your home to look, feel, and function. I share initial floor plans, mood boards, and color palettes, and we talk through what you love and what you don’t. From there, we settle on a design direction you’re excited about.

4.
Design in Detail
Now for the details. The fabric on your sofa, the shape of your furniture, the light beside your favorite chair. I narrow down the choices and use renderings to help you imagine them in your home. Behind the scenes, I work with your architect, builder, contractor (and plenty of talented local craftspeople) to sort out how it all comes together.

5.
Procurement & Project Coordination
With the design finalized, I manage the sourcing and purchasing process, track orders, coordinate deliveries, and work with vendors and trades to help everything come together smoothly.

6.
Installation & Styling
This is when everything finally comes together. Furnishings are installed, the finishing layers are added, and I style the space so it feels complete, personal, and ready to live in.
