How much do you charge for your interior design?

It all begins with a conversation. The initial discovery call is complimentary, and from there the project is brought into a scope: new construction, renovation, how many rooms, what challenges, budget, etc. Each project is a custom package with design billed hourly. An up front estimate is created and agreed upon. As with everything, communication is key.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Everywhere. The other day I was inspired by a color I saw on a piece of junk mail. Nature is the best inspiration, and travel topping it off at number one. The seasons, artwork, fashion, it’s all fair game.

How would you describe your design style?

Above all, the client’s needs are first, good design is first functional and then beautiful. As a mother, I tend to gravitate towards natural materials that are better suited for wear and tear. Every room should always have at least one vintage piece. Layering objects and things you love should always tell a story. When you walk into the room, you should feel something, my goal is that you feel home and happy.

How do you work with your contractor and/or architect? How does everything work together with you as the designer?

We have some preferred contractors/architects that we work with and sometimes the client will have their preferences on who they want to work with – we are happy to accommodate both scenarios. We like to come on as early as possible in the design phase as it’s important all parties work together from the start. We work directly with all parties and the client can be as involved as they would like. We find that when the plan is secured in the preconstruction phase of the process, the construction phase stays on course with fewer headaches and cost escalations.
