Find
Design Consultation, Research,
Concept, & Schematic Design
This first phase is about creative discovery and setting expectations. Together, we review photos, swatches, colors, and other design references to understand who you are, what you like, and what inspires you. We’ll map out your project, talk through preliminary pricing, outline your time frame, and share high-level design concepts.
Focus
Design Development, Documentation,
& Procurement
With everything our team learns in phase one, we begin to clarify the design and hone in on the details. We work with you to make key decisions and create all the necessary documents, including:• Detailed drawings and renderings
• Finish and fixture selections
• Construction documents
Finish
Project Management, Installation, & Styling
No detail is too small. We accept nothing less than a fully installed, completed project that represents you and delivers authentic, exceptional design — on time and within your cost considerations. Our team will advocate for you and for the design until every last task and to-do are fulfilled.
