Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A new client consultation is a requirement for each new project. We meet with clients, in their space for a re-model, or at our studio or jobsite for new construction. Upon meeting we will gain a better understanding of the scope of work required for your project; answer questions and share ideas for the project. After the initial consult, you are welcome to take our advice and ideas and implement them, or hire us to move into the design phase. From here, it is on to scheduling and construction. Our team is capable of handling small to large scale projects.
New project consultations are $350, and allow us to gather the appropriate information needed to make sure you receive the best design solutions possible!

How did you get started in this business?
My background in fine arts led me to pursuing a degree in interior design. As a kid, I was always drawing, painting, and rearranging spaces and making them beautiful. My sense of space and being fascinated by 'how things are built' led me to combine my passions for art and design.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Clients both single and married, young and golden! I have worked in both the commercial and residential sectors of the market and love both. I specialize in Equestrian properties and homes.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
You absolutely get what you pay for in this industry. Make sure to choose quality when hiring a pro. Some pros offer consults for free - any reputable design group will never do this.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Understand your budget, first and foremost. If you are looking to do simple decorating, let your designer know right away, as the expectations for projects vary. The more information you can share with us, the better.
