Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never worked with a designer before. Is this for me?
Absolutely! In fact, I love working with first-timers. Many people feel nervous that the process will be confusing or that their taste isn’t “good enough.” My job is to guide you, listen to you, and translate your desires into a space you love. There are no dumb questions.
What’s your design style?
My specialty is your style. I don’t believe in imposing a trend on your home. Instead, I focus on what you are naturally drawn to and help you refine it into a cohesive, functional, and beautiful look that will feel authentic to you for years to come.
Do I have to get rid of all my old furniture?
Not at all! I love helping clients integrate their existing furniture, art, and collectibles into a new design. It’s about refreshing and renewing your space, often by working with what you already have and love, and strategically adding new pieces to complete the look.
What does the process look like?
It starts with a free 20-minute call to connect. If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule an in-home, paid consultation. After that, I provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope, estimated hours, and investment. Once you approve, we begin with a kickoff meeting and work through the project in clear phases.
Why is there a minimum number of hours?
Based on my experience, it takes dedicated time to truly understand your needs, create a thoughtful plan, and see it through. A minimum commitment ensures we can achieve a result you’ll be truly happy with, rather than just a quick fix.
Do you handle construction or purchasing?
My focus is on the design phase. I can provide drawings and plans for a contractor and a purchasing list with links for you to purchase things like furniture and accessories on your own. I do offer shopping assistance as an add-on if you’re interested in art, higher end furnishings, or vintage pieces, but I typically don’t manage full-scale construction projects or act as a purchasing agent.
