• I primarily work within a 40-minute drive of Montclair, Oakland. • Some areas include Oakland, Piedmont, Moraga, Orinda, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Berkeley, and San Francisco. • I may take on projects outside this area for larger-scale renovations with a budget that supports travel. • Please reach out if you're unsure whether your location fits.

• I specialize in full-service residential interior design, from whole-home renovations to kitchen and bathroom remodels. • While I take on decorating projects, my focus is on full-service design, meaning I don't just provide plans or color selections—I guide the entire process from concept to final installation. • Full-service design is a thoughtful process that requires time and a product budget that supports quality craftsmanship. If you're looking for a one-hour consultation or quick advice, my services may not be the right fit.

• I don't offer one-hour consultations or quick design advice unless you're a current or past client. • My personalized design process is built on getting to know my clients and their lifestyle, which takes time.

• My focus is residential design, but I do take on select small business projects (such as boutique offices, retail, or hospitality) if they align with my approach. • Let's chat if you're a business owner looking for a personalized, intentional design process.

• I offer full-service design, guiding you from start to finish. • The process includes planning (pre-design), conceptual design, design development (including product selection & purchasing), construction documentation for installation, and working with contractors to ensure the design is executed as intended. • If a project requires permitting, I can prepare and stamp non-structural construction documents that contractors must submit. If structural changes are involved, a structural engineer or architect will be required, and I can help identify and recommend professionals as part of the scoping process. • My goal is to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible—challenges do come up, but I'm skilled at handling them.

• Every project is unique, and budgets depend on scope and contractor pricing. • I focus on mid to high-end quality products because craftsmanship matters. Good design is an investment that should stand the test of time. • Many homeowners aren't sure what to expect when it comes to budgeting, and that's okay. After our initial consultation and part of the pre-design process, I'll walk you through a projected budget for furniture, fixtures, and equipment so we can agree on a plan that makes sense for your home.

• My work is highly hands-on and collaborative, so I primarily work in person. • However, I offer virtual check-ins for local clients who need flexibility in their busy schedules.

• It depends on the scope and my current schedule. I book new clients based on availability to ensure each project gets the attention it deserves. • As part of the proposal process, I provide an estimated timeframe for my design work. • Construction timelines vary depending on contractors, but I work closely with them to keep things on track.

• If your project aligns with my services, the first step is to schedule a complimentary initial consultation. • We'll discuss your space, goals, and budget to see if there's a mutual fit. • From there, I'll outline the next steps, including a customized proposal.
