An interior designer is a tremendous resource in any stage of the design process. Maybe you’re:

 

  • Starting from scratch — You’ve got design daydreams (and a plethora of Pinterest boards) but don’t know where to start.
  • Feeling overwhelmed as you hone in on your personal style. You’re just not sure how to bring all the design elements together.
  • Struggling to make the most of a small footprint and don’t know how to maximize both storage and style.
  • Navigating a life transition — (Your first house with a partner, from kid-free to parenthood, entering the teenage years, or you’re a new empty-nester) and your home doesn’t function optimally for this new phase.
  • Ready to build your dream home and want to make sure the architecture, design, and decoration all tell a cohesive story.

 

No matter where you’re at, an interior designer listens and observes what you truly need from your home. Then, she’ll create a custom design plan, tailored to your specific taste, wish list, and lifestyle.

 

Most importantly, an interior designer can reduce the overwhelm of home design — simplifying the process to save you hours of scrolling, research, and frustration. So you can get the space you’ve been dreaming of, without all the stress.

For projects that require demolition and architectural redesigns, hire your designer as soon as possible. Ideally, hiring an interior designer is your first step in the home renovation process.

 

By bringing your interior designer on at the beginning of a project, you start with an organized team and a cohesive, overall vision. This can prevent miscommunication, budget issues, and timeline delays.

 

If you’re looking for eDesign and decoration services, hire an interior designer when you’re ready to start planning. Your designer will be your guide from big-picture design concepts to tracking down those perfect sconces. You’ll get a room that’s expertly layered, cohesive, and brimming with personality.

Absolutely! We can help you plan from start to finish. 

 

From custom architectural details to creating that perfect floor plan, we’re here to partner with you every step of the way. We provide space planning, elevations, renderings, and mood boards for those early design stages.

 

Then, we help you source finishes and fixtures, from window treatments and furnishings to those last little details. So your dream home is cohesive, expertly designed, and one hundred percent you.

Welcome, you’re in the right place.

 

First, we’ll hop on a discovery call to learn more about you and your goals. 

 

If it looks like we’re a good project fit, we’ll start your interior design service with an in-depth consultation. I’ll ask lots of questions and get to know all the details about you, your project goals, your design style, and more. 

 

From there, I can recommend the optimal design service for you. I’ll explain our services and process in-depth and answer any questions you have, so you feel ready and empowered for the next steps.

 

Once we’ve agreed on the scope of work, the real fun begins! We’ll do some research on our end to come up with preliminary plans and proposals for your project.

 

We know home renovations and design projects can be overwhelming. That’s exactly why we’re here. 

 

We’re experts at navigating timelines, coordinating subcontractors, and creating eclectic, fresh design plans that bring your dream home to life.

Absolutely! My virtual interior design services include a 1-hour in-depth consultation where I get to know you, your space, your design goals, and your budget. From there, you provide the measurements and any photos that help me get to know the details of your space.

 

Then I get busy sourcing furniture, paint colors and wall treatments, lighting, accessories — every last detail for your finished space. And, because I believe interior design should always be tailor-made for you, I provide two full design schemes for your room — complete with a mood board and inspiration photos. You get to choose your favorite! 

 

If you opt for the full-service eDesign package, you’ll get everything above, plus a photo-realistic 3D rendering of your custom virtual interior design plan — so you can see each detail in crystal-clear high definition. You’ll also receive an expertly curated shopping list to bring your space to life when you’re ready.
