PROCESS

STEP 1:

INITIAL PHONE CONSULTATION

PHONE CONSULT (INTRODUCTIONS & LEARN ABOUT ONE ANOTHER):

During the phone consultation, I will cover the general scope of the project and a general vision overview including a rough estimate of budget. This is to get to know you and for you to ask specific questions about me and the design process.

STEP 2:

INITIAL ONSITE DESIGN CONSULTATION AND CONTRACT

THE MEETING (EXCITEMENT & EXPLORATION):

During the consultation, I will cover the scope of the project in detail. Discuss and document, budget in detail, style preferences, and timeline. Long term and short-term goals for your home, your values, and your lifestyle. I transmit a contract for review and signature. Along with the executed contract, I require payment for the minimum hours to cover the initial design phase visual board.

STEP 3: 

PROPOSAL

THE MEETING PART II (EXCITEMENT & EXPLORATION):

Based on our initial consultation, I will submit a proposal outlining estimated timeframe and some policies, etc. The goal is to set a foundation that is comfortable and realistic, ensuring that we are on the same page moving forward. Upon approval of the proposal, we move into the next stage of the design.

STEP 4: 

DESIGN PHASE

THE WORK (SPACE PLANS, MATERIALS, DESIGN BOARDS & SELECTIONS): 

The fun part. I start the process of working on the conceptual design based on the floor plan and your style preferences. I start with developing a color scheme, sourcing of fabrics, furniture, lighting, fixtures, and materials. EX: This is the phase where materials for flooring are selected, window treatments are designed, hardware, counters and cabinetry are chosen. Drawings, samples, and pictures are gathered and constructed. Quotes and pricing are researched and catalogued. In sum, this is where all design decisions are carefully sourced, examined and considered. During this phase, there will be continuing correspondence and/or meetings to ensure that we're on track.

STEP 5:

PROJECT COMMUNICATION / DETAILS EXECUTED

THE WAITING (QUOTES, PROPOSALS, ORDERS & DELIVERIES):

Throughout the design process, furniture purchased, schedule is on track and no detail is overlooked. Throughout this phase, I will be available to ensure that any outstanding or punch list items are addressed. For renovation and/or new construction projects, I will be in constant communication with the contractor and his/her team. Not to over project manage, but to ensure that the details in the design plan are being executed correctly.

STEP 6:

INSTALLATION

THE RUSH (INSTALLATION & THE FINISHING TOUCHES):

All work by trades has been completed, the furniture has been delivered, accessories placed, and art hung and compile a list of any outstanding items or punch list tasks in the designer control and scope. I will arrange or communicate with the contractor to have all these items taken care of quickly and efficiently.

STEP 7:

ENJOY 

THE DOCUMENTATION (SHARE WITH THE WORLD):

I will work around your schedule to have your beautiful new space professionally photographed.
