PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

We are known for our creative vision, unique design style, and on-point execution. Together our team strives to create beautifully functional spaces and an excellent experience along the way.
Our process
LETS TALK
We want to hear about the space, your goals, the timeline, & your budget (if you don’t have one in mind, we can help you come up with it down the line). We’ll also walk you through our process and answer any questions you may have.
We’ll look at photos of the space, floor plans (if they’re available), any inspiration images you’ve saved, etc. We’ll share our preliminary thoughts with you and get all of the information we need to put together a complete design services proposal.
DESIGN PROPOSAL
We’ll provide you with a complete design services proposal for your review. Our proposals are comprehensive and include an estimate of our fees for each component of the project. At this point, you should have a good idea as to the investment involved with bringing us onto the project.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Once we have received a signed Statement of Work, we will schedule a time to visit the property and will kick off our concept development phase. Our goal during this phase is to make sure we understand the functional aspects of the space, your budget, and your aesthetics. During this process, we’ll draw up a set of preliminary plans, we’ll create a scope of work for any construction that needs to be done, we’ll come up with a preliminary budget, and will pull together a set of inspiration images to help communicate our vision for the space keeping in mind any inspiration that you might have shared with us for the space. We’ll walk you through these items and collect your feedback.
DESIGN PLAN
Once we’ve received your feedback, we’ll create a comprehensive design plan. Taking your comments into consideration, we’ll work from our concept development materials plans and will put together a comprehensive design plan. This presentation will include final layouts as well as proposed material and furniture selections. We’ll walk you through the plans to get your thoughts; we’ll pin down what you like and will make adjustments, as necessary, for things you’re not as excited about.
IMPLEMENT
Once our proposals have been approved, we will begin pulling everything together and will get to work bringing our plans to life. We’ll pull in our expert contractors and service providers (or, if you would prefer, we can work with yours) to get the job done. We’re big on communication and will keep you in the loop along the way.
DELIVERY
We’ll deliver your dream home! We’re fully invested in each of our projects until every last detail has been completed (and beyond). Once construction is finished and the space is furnished and styled, we’ll walk through the space with you to discuss any follow-ups or adjustments that may need to be made. We make a lifetime commitment to our clients (who, many times, become our friends) and are always willing to do anything we can to help with any issues that may arise down the road.
