Our journey begins with a scheduled phone call, where we’ll discuss your project goals, timeline, and investment expectations. It’s a chance to connect, explore your vision, and ensure we’re aligned in style and approach. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll move forward with a complimentary 60-minute consultation. This meeting includes a walkthrough of your space and an initial discussion of your goals, scope, and timeline. Afterward, you’ll receive a personalized design proposal outlining the full project scope, estimated design fees, and the next steps to secure your spot on my schedule. To move forward, we ask for a retainer, starting at $5,000 for design-only projects or 40% of the design budget for renovation and construction work. The right-sized retainer allows us to work efficiently and keep your project on track. Your proposal will detail the exact retainer amount and include a clear payment schedule so you’ll always know when payments are due and where we are in the process.

Once the proposal is approved and the retainer is received, we begin developing your design. This phase includes everything needed to bring your project to life — mood boards, detailed drawings, materials, selections, renderings, and preliminary estimates — all tailored to your goals and lifestyle. We’ll schedule a formal design presentation where you’ll see the full vision come together — along with estimated costs to help guide your decision-making. After that, we’ll collaborate on any necessary refinements to ensure every detail feels just right.

Once your selections are finalized and approved, I take care of ordering everything for you. I’ll handle placing the orders, tracking lead times, managing communication with vendors, and coordinating deliveries to make sure each item arrives on time. Behind the scenes, I’m managing all the moving parts so you don’t have to — keeping your project organized, on schedule, and set up for a smooth, stress-free installation.

During this phase, I stay closely involved with your contractor and trades, providing on-site visits, detailed drawings, clarifications, and design guidance as needed. My role is to help ensure that the construction and installation reflect the design vision — with precision, quality, and attention to every detail. I serve as your design advocate throughout this phase, so the final result matches what we planned and imagined together.

Once construction is complete and all built-in elements — like cabinetry, tilework, plumbing fixtures, and lighting — are installed, I conduct a final design walkthrough to ensure every detail aligns with the design vision and meets the highest standards. For projects that include furnishings and soft goods, I guide the placement and ensure everything fits cohesively within the space, so the overall design feels intentional, complete, and elevated. I’m known for my meticulous eye — because true luxury lives in the details. Every space I design is crafted to feel cohesive, purposeful, and beautifully finished.
