Design Concept and budget is Flat Fee: Prior to our collaboration, I establish a flat fee covering the design plan/concept and budget. Each project is unique, I will send you a scope of work with a detailed list and the cost for professional design services.

Because you'll appreciate my design style and want the same aesthetic. I bring a fresh perspective by prioritizing the desired ambiance of the room, rather than simply focusing on design trends.
More importantly, I ask clients how do you want to room to feel and function and then I oversee every aspect of the project, ensuring its successful completion to your own unique design style.
Yes & No…
Yes...I do include you when we shop for furniture like sofas and chairs, as it's essential to ensure functionality and comfort for you. While I may involve you in certain parts of the process, there are some aspects that require dedicated time to meticulously craft the design that I do on my own.

My favorite room to design is any space that involves fabrics, such as living rooms, family rooms, dining rooms, master bedrooms, or any bedrooms. While I also appreciate the extensive renovation projects in the beautiful transformation that happens, I particularly enjoy the hands-on experience of working with textiles, as well as the process of crafting a harmonious design through the interplay of colors, patterns, and textures.
Interior designers typically have a more extensive education and training, work on a broader range of projects, and have a deeper understanding of technical aspects. Interior decorators, on the other hand, focus primarily on the visual aesthetics of a space and do not require formal education. Both professionals play important roles in creating beautiful and functional interior environments, but the scope of their work and expertise may differ.
Open communication and collaboration are vital for handling challenges or conflicts during a project. I prioritize clear communication with clients, actively listening to their concerns and feedback. By working together, we can identify and resolve issues promptly. I approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset, offering creative solutions while considering practical constraints. Ultimately, I strive to create a positive working relationship and ensure client satisfaction
