STEP 1 - CONSULTATION

We begin with a 30-minute pre-scheduled phone call or Zoom meeting—whichever you prefer—to explore if we are a good fit for each other. During this time, either of us can decide not to proceed. If we both feel aligned, the next step will be to arrange a Home Tour at your convenience.

STEP 2 - HOME TOUR

The Home Tour is a 1.5-hour in-home meeting where we review your ideas, vision, budget, and timeline. We’ll define the scope of work for your project, explore the photos you’ve collected to understand your style, and tour your space to assess lighting, layout, and furnishings to include.

There is a small $500 fee for this meeting, which will be credited back to you if you choose to move forward with the design process.

STEP 4 - DESIGN

During the design phase, we carefully listen to your tastes, needs, and vision to develop a comprehensive design plan. This includes personalized floor plans, 3D renderings, and curated selections for furnishings, materials, and finishes. In our workshop, we craft detailed sketches and plans to bring your dream space to life. When we present our recommendations, you'll see how we’ve interpreted your vision, and together we’ll make selections while discussing any necessary adjustments. If refinements are needed, we’ll revisit the design to ensure it perfectly reflects your style and needs.

STEP 3 - PROPOSAL

You’ll receive a detailed proposal that outlines the project scope, including the specific services we’ll provide, the design process, and the associated design fees. We’ll walk you through the proposal, addressing any questions or clarifications you may have to ensure you’re fully informed before moving forward.

STEP 5 - THE DETAILS

With the scope of work finalized and the design fully developed, we create detailed technical drawings that precisely capture your vision. These drawings serve as a vital guide for you, the contractor, and the trades throughout the process. We handle the placement and expediting of all orders, tracking every item to ensure a smooth workflow.

For renovation projects, we also can prepare a comprehensive contractor package. This including all finishes and specifications, along with site visits to keep everything on track and clearly communicated.
