Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We have an in-depth conversation about their hopes and dreams for their new home, followed by a visit to the apartment or house. A project will take about a year to complete from start to finish, so communication and accessibility is key to the success of the project. We are very hands on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was trained as an architect, so I have a thorough understanding of how the architecture and interior design and furnishings need to come together to form a home.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
The fee is 20% of the cost of the project with a $20,000 minimum design fee.
How did you get started in this business?
Working at an architecture firm in NYC, and taking on small interior projects.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Really wonderful informed clients who know kind of what they want, but they need help pulling it all together.

Take your time selecting a designer - have several chats, and talk to previous clients.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
