There's a million decisions in renovation.
Save yourself time and find solutions.
No project is ever the same, these offerings are designed to suggest some typical paths toward solving your design challenges.
If your project doesn't fit into one of the below presets, I can develop a custom estimate for your home or commercial space that is tailored to the scope of your needs.
Ways to work together
COMPLIMENTARY INTRO
COST: FREE
This is a great way to see how your project would benefit from design and to explore what scope and services would suit your project needs. Let’s hop on the phone and chat through your challenges, what the process would be and get to know each other better.
CONSULT SESSION
COST: $425
A consult is best leveraged to solve a single challenge. We can work through layout, color palettes, furniture or any other component. We gather insight ahead time so we're prepared to make the most of our time together. After I'll follow up with references and/or resources regarding what we discussed. We meet on location or remotely.
DESIGN DIRECTION
COST: $1250 - 2000
We will align on your design goals, project investment, and aesthetics to deliver a design plan with 1-2 concepts for layout and 1-2 material samples specific to your project (tile, countertop, cabinet finishes). After you’ve met with trades we will connect once more to check in and make sure that plan is being carried through.
FULL SERVICE DESIGN
COST: 5-10% OF BUDGET
A design direction is essential, but having design involved throughout the renovation delivers the best results. The details matter - having well thought out specifications for lighting, electrical, tile, hardware, plumbing, appliances, furnishings, textiles, etc. guarantees a beautiful and functional space.
Consult Session Case Studies
Perhaps you have a specific issue with a layout or material pairing?
Maybe you know what what function you need, but how it will work is up in the air?
You’ve seen things you like - but how they apply to your space isn’t clear?
CASE STUDY : DESIGN DIRECTION
The homeowner was torn between her love of antiques and what was right for her mid-century house. I served up timeless tile profiles that were appropriate for both the architecture and the era of her treasures. Then we shopped her home for items that could move into the room to create the eclectic look she loves.
She recieved a mood board with direction following our consult.
CASE STUDY : MATERIAL CHOICES
We talked through the pros and cons of the materials the homeowner was considering for a kitchen refresh. I was able to guide them through pairings, as well as suggest some new ideas for achieving the look they were after.
Notes and links for references discussed during our conversation were shared in a follow-up email.
CASE STUDY : LAYOUT CHALLENGE
Their GC was able to get laundry on the second floor, but the homeowners were concerned about how doors would obstruct flow in their narrow 15' row home. Designed to feel like the pocket doors common when the house was built — but instead of two, a single door covers the machines and opens over a built-in (we even squeezed in a hamper). When you ascend the staircase you see the styled cabinetry, adding character without sacrificing function.
Notes and a schematic for the GC were shared in a follow-up email.
CASE STUDY : EXTERIOR COLOR
The homeowners wanted to go all black with a modern drenched treatment, but white vinyl replacement windows feel anemic when surrounded in black. We trimmed the windows in white and used it purposefully elsewhere to make it feel intentional.
We provided references for railings and column pedestals that felt more appropriate to the house. The stained shafts add dimension and connect to the front door and fence.
Design Direction Featured Projects
These projects began with cohesive direction and the homeowners managed the trades and execution. In some cases folks added some time to the scope for further selection, specification and decision making during the project.
"I needed help bringing the full vision together as well as help with schematics. You helped me realize that I could reuse and adjust components already in my space which created room in the budget to add storage and upgrade finishes!"
