FAQs
How Do You Work?
We start with an initial phone conversation to get to know each other. From there we will setup an initial visit to make the determination as to whether we would like to work together. After that we follow a five step process. 1. Design Interview and Evaluation - thoroughly gather information regarding you and your project. 2. Conceptual Design - develop initial design ideas. 3. Design Development - all of the product selections are determined and the complete set of plans and specifications are developed. 4. Project Administration - involves the procurement process for products as well as being on the job site to make sure that the project is moving forward as designed. 5. Budget Development and Bid Analysis - this is NOT actually 5th step but typically occurs throughout the process.
Why would we want to work with you?
If you want a designer who asks questions to draw out your thoughts and really listens to the answers; if you want an expert who uses their knowledge to develop the best solution for your particular needs; and you want a consultant who values your time, your budget, and your dreams. Our unique hands-on get-to-know-you interview and collaborative design process creates an enjoyable experience resulting in spaces you'll love to be in.
