First, we’ll schedule a complimentary phone call to see if we’re a good fit for one another. This gives you time to explain your project and gives me the opportunity to better explain my process, discuss fees and answer any questions you might have.

We’ll schedule an initial meeting on site, at my home, or at another location to go over your wish list, concepts and inspiration photos so we can establish the scope of the project.

For remodels and additions, I like to meet on site so I can see the space and take measurements. For new builds, we can meet at my home.

Now the fun starts! For remodels and additions I will work with your general contractor or architect to come up with a plan. I’ll prepare checklists and timelines so that the process goes smoothly.

For new build projects, I will be the second set of eyes and sounding board to help you find viable solutions for any trouble areas. When working on already established plans, my goal is to respect the work that has gone into the design up to that point while still offering avenues for improvement.

Once the floor plan has been finalized, I will provide preliminary design concept boards at this stage of the process that show possible colors and finish materials. That way, early on in the process, we start to establish the interior style and aesthetics of the space.

Onto the fine tuning… cabinetry design, fireplaces, stairways, millwork, lighting, plumbing, cabinet style, interior doors, hardware selections and other architectural details. Though floor plans are the critical foundation for any design project, elevations, or vertical view, are equally as important. It’s in the designing of the elevations where the project truly comes alive and begins to take shape.

Finally, we get very specific with the selection of colors and finish materials, like paint, tiles, flooring, etc.

I’ll be there through every step of the construction process. When questions, or problems, arise (and they will, it’s just a part of the experience), I’ll be there to ease your mind and provide solutions.

Once construction is making progress, we’ll begin to select furnishings, together. After months of planning and designing, this is where your house begins to feel like a home. I’ll walk you through the final steps to make sure every piece of furniture and art is perfectly placed.
