It begins with a conversation. The first step is talking about your project. I want to know the scale, your budget, who your builder is, how long you’re planning on staying in the home, about your family members, if you have pets, what your style is. I want to gather as much information as possible to help me figure out if we’re the right fit. This is also where YOU get to ask questions! Ask me anything you want about the process, or me if you’re really that interested. This step is all about gathering information.

If we’ve made it to the next step it means that you’ve signed your scope and you’re officially my client! This step is where we exchange documents and ideas. I’ll send you my “What to Expect” packet, and I’ll ask that you send me plans, inspiration, contact information, and any other documentation I might need (ie. if any selections have already been made). Ideally, your plans should not be finalized so that I can collaborate with you, your architect, and your builder to make any framing changes ahead of time. This will save everyone some headache in the long run.

Now that everyone has all the information necessary, we get to work! I will draw your plans, put together some initial looks, and create a presentation of renderings and selections to show you my ideas for your home. Everything in this presentation will be based on what you’ve told me and unique to you and your project. Meanwhile, we will have several meetings to select things like appliances, plumbing, and cabinetry that goes into our deisgn. Once everything is agreed upon and selected, we move on to our last step!

We made it! Your hard work is over and now my organized side gets a chance to shine. I will take every selection we’ve made and put it into several documents with all details that the build team needs; including plans, schedules and visual boards. Don’t worry, I don’t leave you here! After I hand these off, there will be questions and often on-the-fly changes that I will guide everyone through. My job is not done until after you move in and the punch list is complete!
