THE STUDIO
Our approach is concept driven and we establish the creative direction of your project early on to ensure we’re speaking the same design language.
Our designs serve as reflections of our client’s personalities, intentions and goals. We are known for our ability to seamlessly weave together these elements to create designs with unique material palettes, texture, pattern, color - be neutral or saturated - that connect to our clients’ vision.
Additionally, we provide support during the execution phase of the project to ensure the details are adhered to or adjusted as needed.

THE DESIGN PROCESS
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
We begin with a discovery call where we discuss your needs, vision, timeline and budget. If we are a good fit we schedule a consultation where we can take a look at and get a feel for your space, we further discuss your needs and take pictures. Using this information we can put together a scope of work and fee estimate.
Once the proposal has been accepted, the contract signed and deposit received, we will begin by diving deeper into your style preferences and further defining your needs. We will establish timelines and overall budget. We appreciate our clients honesty about their investment requirements and a commitment to being available during our time together.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Once we have gathered all our pragmatic and style information we begin the design development. We begin by establishing your concept statement and visual direction which will be referenced throughout the project. We will then focus on a floor plan and following its approval we move on to the design plan (flooring, wallpaper, light switch covers) and furniture plan depending on your needs. We will also provide estimated costs for the items we have specified. Once all items are finalized and associated fees paid, we will begin ordering and preparing any documentation needed by other trades.
During this time we may also consult with your contractor, cabinet maker et al to communicate our design vision.
DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION
Once all design elements have been approved, the project administration (and construction) phase begins. This looks differently for every project but for the vast majority it means tracking orders, coordinating deliveries, communicating with trades and ensuring the design vision is adhered to or adjusted as needed. The last portion of this project includes styling if requested and a final walkthrough.
While we can have some control over the design timeline, the construction/execution timeline is often out of the designer’s hands and can take several months. It can be an overwhelming process but extremely rewarding when you are able to move into and enjoy your new space.
