Our Process
Phase 1: Consultation and Discovery
Our process is rooted in developing a deep understanding of client needs through a series of thoughtful conversations that build trust and a shared vision. Every new client relationship begins with a Discovery Call. The goal of this consultation call is to understand your unique design needs, timeline, and investment level. We’ll ask you about your vision, explain more about our process, and discuss how we guide you through your design project. This call is then followed up with an in-person consultation in your space to gather more information for our proposal.
After the consultation, we send you a written proposal outlining the scope of work for your project including our design fees and your overall investment for the project. Our business model is based on a flat fee for the creative portion of your project, combined with a percentage based compensation on furnishings, lighting, window treatments, and/or other design elements – to cover the project oversight and administration phase.
