About Us

We believe effective interior design prioritizes functionality; aesthetics alone won’t ensure a space works. Materials and finishes enhance a well-designed foundation. The build-out of a design weighs heavily on the contractor and concise communication.

 Our Six Phase System

We utilize a reliable process to ensure you project runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Before we can even think about design, we need to meet, review each space, and develop a clear project profile that outlines the functional and aesthetic end goals through a design consultation.

  • For renovations, remodels, and additions, we survey, evaluate and digitally document the existing conditions.

  • We do any necessary space planning, develop a drawing set, select products, order material and finish samples, and prepare preliminary pricing.

  • We refine the proposed design with any requested changes and update your entire design package accordingly.

    For Comprehensive Design clients, this is where our work would conclude.

  • Communication with the contractor regarding timeline and logistics increases. We initiate procurement to order and track all product in the finalized design.

  • We correspond with the contractor to review unforeseen issues, to troubleshoot, or to provide any design -related clarifications. Procurement continues.

  • We tie up any lose ends and you finally get to enjoy your new space(s)!

    For our Full-Service Design clients, this is where our work would conclude.
