Full-Service Design, Start to Finish
Phase 0:
My Approach
The foundation before we dive into the details.
Designing a home isn’t just about choosing beautiful pieces, it’s about making every element work together. I start with the big picture, how you live, how you use your space, so every decision feels intentional and belongs in your home.
How I Work:
-
Plan before sourcing: Function and flow come first, then the shopping.
-
Decisions in the right order: Prevent costly re-dos and last-minute scrambles.
-
Cohesive results: Every detail ties into the bigger vision.
-
Seamless execution: I coordinate with trusted trades so what’s on paper becomes reality.
The result: a space that is cohesive, functional, and beautiful, and a process that feels organized and manageable from the start.
The Process, Step by Step
Every project is unique, but most follow a similar framework. Here’s what a typical process looks like start to finish:
Discovery
I start by getting to know you and your space — what’s working, what’s not, and what matters most to you. Through conversations and information gathering, I build the foundation for a design that reflects your needs, priorities, and style. By the end of this phase, we’ll have a clear understanding of what your project requires and where we’re headed.
Why the Process Matters
A clear, intentional process keeps the big picture in sight from start to finish — reducing surprises, making installation smoother, and leading to a cohesive final result. Here’s how that compares to working without one.
With My Process
-
Decisions happen in the right order, avoiding mismatches later.
-
Clear steps guide you from start to finish.
-
Every element works together for a cohesive, intentional look.
-
Fewer costly changes once work begins.
-
Smooth installation with clear direction for contractors and trades.
Without a Process
-
Choices made out of order cause problems that ripple through the design.
-
Constant backtracking and uncertainty.
-
A piecemeal design that never quite feels right.
-
Budget overruns from rework and fixes.
-
Delays from missing or unclear details.
