Services + Process

Your story travels with you.
So does the studio.

I take on a small number of projects at a time, across the United States and Mexico. Whatever the size of the project, I’m there from the first mood board to the final reveal.

Anywhere

Smaller Projects

For when you want a designer’s eye without a full project. Both can be done remotely or in person.

Hour Consultation

An hour on whatever you need: floor plans, paint, materials, lighting or furniture layout. Running your own renovation? Bring your plans, bids and selections for a second look before they’re locked in. You leave knowing your next steps.

Styling + Remote Design

For a home that has the main pieces but feels unfinished, or a room or two you want to carry out yourself. I come in and style it in person, or send a styling plan and a shoppable proposal you can work from anywhere.

The design process

Nobody likes surprises, except at the reveal.

Every full service project follows a tried and true design process, so you always know what is being worked on and what comes next.

Phase 1

Design Intent

Phase 1 focuses on the design intention and is where the vision for all spaces begins. Design concepts and 3D renderings will be presented for your approval so that we can align on the vision for your space. A purchasing list will also be presented with all proposed items linked, so that priorities and budgets can be agreed upon early on.

Phase 2

Materials + Purchasing

Once the design intentions are clear, we will move onto Phase 2 and focus on materials. Samples will be presented to show the vision in a way that you can see and feel. Once samples are confirmed, your detailed purchasing list will be completed.

For construction projects, all design specs will be converted into construction documents that you can simply hand over to your contractor for comprehensible execution. Construction meetings will be scheduled as part of this Phase.

Phase 3

Design Implementation

The final phase is where the design intention becomes reality. Once everything that has been purchased arrives, we come in to place everything exactly where it needs to go. All furnishing, art, lighting, and decor will be placed and styled to perfection, leaving you with a complete space that you are proud to call yours.
