F A Q
How does the design process work?
Once you reach out, I gather as much information as I can, either through an online questionnaire (if you purchase a consultation online), or through email if you choose to reach out to me directly.
What does full-service design include?
In short, everything! From initial consult to installation, I have years of experience managing all details of a design project: selection, purchasing and expediting, installation and accessorization. A full-service project can be a single room at a time, or an entire second home, even if you already have a few pieces you'd like me to work with.
How long does the design process take?
While a timeline is project-dependent, a typical full-service or a-la-carte service project will take approximately 8-20 weeks from selection approval to installation. I will be able to give a a more customized timeline estimation at our initial consultation, and will keep you posted every step of the project!
How involved should I be in my project?
As much or as little as you are comfortable! We will discuss this at our initial consult, and I will develop your project scope with your preference in mind.
What is your fee structure?
Full-service and a-la-carte projects are billed hourly, and I deliver an estimate of hours it will take to complete your project within your customized contract so you are of aware of the likely cost of design services. Since scope can increase during the project, any hours outside the initial estimate will be billed at the standard hourly rate. You will always be informed about the status of hours used and reminded of any additional costs associated with requests for increased scope.
How do I get started?
You're welcome to book your initial appointment by reaching out to me directly, or by following this link. I do charge a minimal fee for this meeting because I am traveling to you to assess your project needs and put together a customized contract proposal for your project, but there is value in calling in a pro from the beginning to avoid costly mistakes!
What if I'm still not sure what service I need?
Reach out to me here! I'm happy to help guide you to the right package for your needs.
