My Process
Designing a home should feel exciting… not overwhelming.
My process is thoughtful, collaborative and very practical. I’ll guide you through each step, help you make decisions with confidence, and take care of the details so you don’t have to.
STEP 1.
Getting to Know You
In this initial consultation I get a sense of how you live. I’ll come to your home and we’ll talk about what’s working, what isn’t, and what you want your space to feel like. I’m not just looking at the space, I’m paying attention to how you use it.
You’ll also get a feel for me. This process should feel comfortable and collaborative from the start.
STEP 2.
Getting to Know What You Love
This is the design development stage, where things start to take shape.
I’ll show you possibilities you may not have considered and help you see your space a bit differently. We’ll go through layouts, materials, and ideas, then narrow things down to what actually makes sense for you.
STEP 3.
The Nuts and Bolts
This is where things get real.
I manage the construction, sourcing, and all the details behind the scenes. I work with trades I trust, and you deal with me… not a long list of people.
Everything stays organized, decisions are clear, and the process moves forward without added stress.
STEP 4.
Your Curated Home
This is where the finishing touches happen.
Artwork is hung, furniture is placed, and everything comes together the way it should. You don’t have to make a hundred small decisions or wonder if it all works.
You walk in, and it all feels right. Comfortable, personal, and easy to live in.
