How did you get started in this business?
I have always loved design and interiors, colors, textiles and materials. I started in residential and my first project was in Bear Brand Ranch in Laguna Niguel. It was a complete remodel of a home. I really enjoyed my client and being able to take a project from conceptual design to a completely new interior. When the project was complete I designed my clients office in Irvine.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Residential...
New construction, remodel projects, and small to large scale projects. I also help clients that are just looking to have a few items done in their home.
Commercial...
New and existing construction, furnishings, and we have many projects that are just selecting paint colors for the clients.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I designed a home in Costa Mesa, CA for a client with two children. It was a small home so we needed to be sure to fit everything in that the client needed. They also had a home office so we space planned their office to fit all their needs. I enjoyed working with their children to select their rooms. It was a fun experience for all.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would advise a client to meet with designers they are looking to hire and discuss their project to find a perfect fit for them.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
They should have an idea of the scope of work they want done and a budget number. When meeting with their designer they can confirm scope and budget amounts.
