While architects and contractors focus on structure, code, and execution, we focus on how a space feels and functions once you're living in it. From spatial flow and lighting to cabinetry details and material pairings, we ensure the home is beautifully livable. We collaborate closely with your architect and contractor to help streamline decisions, reduce costly mistakes, and protect your vision throughout construction.

Absolutely. If you have inspiration images, a Pinterest board, or even a few favorite pieces, we welcome it. Every project begins with understanding your goals and what you’re drawn to. From there, we refine and expand on those ideas to create a cohesive design that feels intentional and complete. Our approach balances your input with professional expertise, ensuring the final result exceeds expectations without feeling overdesigned or disjointed.

Many clients come to us unsure of how to begin. You don’t need a clear vision, just a willingness to explore. We guide you through a thoughtful design process that uncovers what feels right for you. Using inspiration images, targeted questions, and curated options, we gradually shape a direction that reflects your tastes and supports how you live. Our role is to bring clarity, not expect you to have all the answers upfront.

Project costs can vary widely depending on the scope, timeline, and level of involvement needed. We tailor our fee structure to suit each project, which may include a flat design fee, hourly billing, or a combination of both. You’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal before any work begins, so you’ll always know what to expect. We understand that your home is one of your biggest investments, and we’re committed to helping you improve its beauty, comfort, and lasting value.

The earlier, the better! Involving a designer from the beginning leads to a more cohesive and thoughtful result. We bring an experienced perspective, spotting opportunities, refining ideas, and helping you avoid costly missteps. Clients often tell us, “I just wish I’d called you sooner.” That said, if you’re already underway, it’s never too late. We’re happy to step in and help at any stage.

Absolutely. We believe sustainability and great design go hand in hand. From selecting responsibly sourced materials to incorporating energy-efficient lighting and durable finishes, every detail can support a more environmentally conscious home. We also look for ways to include vintage or repurposed pieces when they suit the design, adding character while reducing the demand for new production. Creating a home that feels good and does good is always possible with thoughtful planning.

Design projects unfold in phases, starting with a consultation and moving through discovery (what are you looking to do), concept design (ideas are explored), design development (design direction is decided, detailed and documented), construction development (documents created for contractor and trades) and administration (making sure design plan is executed during construction). The timeline depends on the size and scope of your project and our current workload. Generally, smaller spaces can be completed in a few weeks, while larger renovations may take months.

Remodels come with built-in limitations, like existing walls, infrastructure, or architectural styles that need to be considered. This is where thoughtful design makes the biggest impact. We uncover hidden opportunities and find creative solutions that work within your constraints. New construction, on the other hand, is a blank canvas. It requires vision, foresight, and hundreds of decisions that impact how your home will look and live for years to come. In both cases, we ensure nothing gets overlooked and everything works together.

Many people use the terms "interior design" and "interior decorating" interchangeably, but they are actually quite different. Interior design involves the thoughtful planning and execution of how a space functions, flows, and feels. A professional interior designer considers layout, lighting, materials, and structural elements, often working closely with architects and contractors to ensure the design aligns with both your lifestyle and the technical requirements of the space. Decorating, on the other hand, focuses more on surface-level enhancements like furniture, textiles, and color schemes.
