Our brief discovery call (usually 30 minutes or less) allows us to connect and understand the scope of your interior design project. This call lays the foundation for our work together - ensuring we’re the best fit for your project’s requirements, scope, budget, and timeline. Towards the end of the call, we’ll set next steps to move your project forward.

During a paid consultation, we’ll discuss your design scope, taking note of your goals, ideas, needs, and requirements for your project. We walk through your project in person and onsite - making notes of your space and layout. We’ll note your home’s unique attributes - such as your sunlight, flow, and functionality. We’ll take photos and discuss your design styles, budget, and timeline. This is how we develop your project’s unique proposal, estimate, and timeline. This is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and answer any questions you may have about what it’s like to work with us.

We’ll deliver a proposal with your project’s investment estimate, timeline, and services. You’ll sign and deliver your initial design fee payment.

At our meeting, we will present initial ideas, sketches, and mood boards based on the information we gathered during your consultation. This is a collaborative session to ensure we’re aligned on your vision and goals for your space.

During this meeting, we will deliver your final design plan, inclusive of material selections, furniture selections, floor plans, and elevations. We will discuss timelines, budget, and next steps. This is an opportunity to provide any final points of feedback and request any adjustments.

Your Architect, Contractor, and Designer: Why You Need the Holy Trinity for Your New Build
Remember those dreaded group projects in college where someone inevitably didn’t pull their weight and the whole team suffered? That’s not a risk you want to take in building your custom home. As with anything, the better the team you have, the better your results will be. Interior designers work closely with architects, contractors, and other experts to ensure that every detail is addressed and executed correctly. This coordination reduces the risk of errors and rework — and, in the end, saves you precious resources.
