A Thoughtful Approach to Common Questions
Designing a home is a deeply personal and often complex process. The questions below are intended to provide clarity and help you understand what it’s like to work together. If you don’t see your question answered here, I’m always happy to continue the conversation.
— What types of projects do you specialize in?
I specialize in high-end residential interior design, including full-home design, renovations, kitchen and bath design, and refined furnishings projects. My work is best suited for homeowners seeking a highly personalized, intentional design experience rather than trend-driven or quick-turn solutions.
— Why do i need an interior designer?
“In every room of your home, there is an opportunity to create unique design solutions that cater to your individual style and needs. An experienced Interior Designer possesses the ability to unearth these opportunities and offer creative insights into maximizing your spaces. From innovative storage solutions for your kitchens, bathrooms, and closets to dynamic visual ideas that establish focal points and original aesthetics in every room, their expertise knows no bounds. By collaborating with an Interior Designer, you not only achieve a one-of-a-kind living area but also benefit from valuable advice on the latest finish materials and cutting-edge technologies shaping modern home design trends.
— Do you offer full-service interior design?
Yes. Full-service interior design is my primary offering. This comprehensive service guides you from initial discovery through design development, material and finish selection, collaboration with builders and trades, and final styling.
This approach ensures cohesion, clarity, and thoughtful execution from start to finish.
— Can you help with kitchen and bath design only?
Absolutely. Kitchen and bath projects are a core part of my practice. These spaces require careful planning, technical expertise, and a strong understanding of both function and aesthetics. Whether part of a larger renovation or a standalone project, these spaces are designed with intention, longevity, and daily living in mind.
— Do you work with clients outside your local area?
Yes. I offer remote and hybrid full-service interior design for clients anywhere in the United States. Through a structured virtual process and collaboration with your local project team, I’m able to provide the same level of care, customization, and clarity regardless of location.
This option is well-suited for second homes, renovations, and clients seeking flexibility without compromising quality.
— Can you help if I’m still in the early planning stages?
Yes. Many clients come to me before construction begins or while ideas are still forming. Early involvement often leads to better outcomes, clearer direction, and more cohesive design decisions throughout the project.
Concept and idea consultations are available for clients seeking guidance before committing to a full-service engagement.
— What is your design process like?
My design process is thoughtful, collaborative, and intentionally paced. It begins with deep listening and intention-setting, followed by concept development, refinement, documentation, and execution.
Each step builds upon the last, allowing space for clarity, alignment, and refinement—resulting in a home that feels cohesive, meaningful, and enduring.
— Will you work with my architect or builder?
Absolutely. Collaboration is essential to successful design. I regularly work alongside architects, builders, and trades to ensure the design intent is clearly communicated and thoughtfully executed throughout the project.
My background in architecture and construction allows me to serve as a knowledgeable liaison between all parties.
— How long does a typical project take?
Project timelines vary based on scope, complexity, and construction schedules. Full-service projects often span several months to over a year, particularly for renovations or custom homes.
Rather than rushing decisions, the process allows time for thoughtful planning and coordination to ensure the best possible outcome.
— What is the investment required to work together?
Design investment varies depending on project scope and services selected. I work with clients who understand the value of professional design and are prepared for the level of investment required for high-end residential interiors.
During our initial conversation, we’ll discuss scope, expectations, and alignment to ensure a comfortable and transparent fit on both sides.
— Do you have project minimums?
Yes. To ensure each client receives the level of attention and care my process requires, I maintain project minimums. These are discussed during the inquiry and consultation stage and vary by service type.
This allows me to remain fully present and invested in every project I take on.
— How do I get started?
The first step is completing the Design Inquiry Form or Schedule a Free 30 min Phone Conversation. This allows me to learn more about you, your home, and your goals. If it feels like a strong alignment, we’ll schedule an initial consultation to explore your project in more detail.
