FAQs

You’re in the right place! Whether you have been dreaming about this project for years and have a Pinterest board filled with inspiration or you simply know you need an update but have no ideas, we start with a quick 15 minute call to discuss your needs, my services, and determine if we are a good fit for working together. If the answer is Yes, the next step is our in-person or virtual meet and greet. Start by inquiring here.

The Meet & Greet is where the big dream begins to transform into reality. I will walk through your home with you in-person (or virtually, depending on your location) and we will discuss your needs and priorities for the space. My brain will be turning, my pen will be noting, and you will be taking nice long breaths knowing that this is all possible and you are supported! Within 48 hours of this meeting, you will receive a full design proposal from me including scope of work, proposed timelines, and costs.

Once we determine that your project is a good fit for the services I am able to offer, we will then schedule our official “Meet & Greet” where I will gather all of the details required to create a scope of work for your specific project. Depending on the size and scale of project, design fees can fall anywhere between $6,500 and $120,000.

There are multiple ways in which we can work together. While I live and work in Southwest, Washington, I am able to serve clients nationwide with design and furnishing services.

Whether you have a newly purchased lot and you are ready to build from the ground up, it’s time to remodel the kitchen, or you like to update furnishings throughout your home, we will create a plan to help you accomplish the goal with ease and efficiency.

I invite you to visit the “How We Work” page to learn more about our processes.

Yes! I work with clients nationwide through two virtual offerings, one focused on the design itself, and one focused on furnishings. They can work independently or in combination depending on what your project needs. If you're not sure which is the right fit, don't worry, that's exactly what the discovery process is for. Start by filling out an inquiry form and we'll figure it out from there.

My favorite thing about working directly with clients is having an opportunity to interpret their vision of a beautiful home and finding the colors, textures, and materials to support that vision coming to life. I like to honor accessibility and usability in design while simultaneously making choices that will elevate the space. I have an affinity for bringing elements of the outdoors in–often choosing surfaces and pieces that have a hint of natural, organic, or artistically crafted character.

In certain cases, we may schedule guided showroom visits or curated vendor appointments for selections such as stone slabs, plumbing fixtures, appliances, or other specialty materials that challenging to confirm with samples or specification sheets alone. Otherwise all other sourcing, selections, procurement, and coordination are handled by our team.

If you are local to the Portland/Vancouver area I can make Builder and General Contractor recommendations for you.

After the final selections are made for your project, all design guidelines will be passed to your General Contractor including drawings, visuals, measurements, product details, and skus. I will also schedule a site visit to walk through the space and communicate directly with the Project Manager to ensure all instructions are clearly relayed.

I will order and track your furniture, decorative lighting, and hardware. Your Builder/General Contractor and their subs will typically be responsible for ordering the additional building materials including hard surfaces (ie. flooring, tile, slabs), plumbing, technical lighting, etc. Spreadsheets with all product details will be provided to you and your Builder/General Contractor in advance of placing orders.

I am available to be as involved (or uninvolved) as you want me to be during the construction phase. My time during construction is billed hourly.

You have full access to me and my services throughout the lifetime of your project! I use Materio, an industry specific project management sytem to keep project details organized and communivations centralized. I also understand that timing can be sensitive and I will always get back to you with the information and answers you need as soon as I am able.
