After all the planning and anticipation, the installation phase is where your vision truly comes to life. It's the moment when all the carefully curated elements transform a house into a home. We meticulously attend to every detail – fluffing pillows, arranging cherished objects, and setting the perfect ambiance – to create a space that welcomes you in.
Your home should reflect your unique personality. Throughout this phase, we curate a collection of pieces that capture your style to create a space you truly love. We consider every detail, from the scale and proportion of furniture to the texture and color of fabrics, to ensure a harmonious and gracious environment.
We believe in a collaborative approach to design. Our onboarding and conceptual design phase are a partnership, where we work closely together to define your vision and bring it to life. We'll guide you through a series of interactive sessions, exploring your ideas, preferences, and functional needs. Together, we'll develop initial concepts that serve as a roadmap for the entire project. This collaborative approach ensures that the result truly reflects your unique personality and style.
Following the conceptual design phase, we move into design development, where we refine the chosen concept and create detailed plans and specifications. This includes finalizing material selections, developing technical drawings, and preparing comprehensive documentation for construction and implementation.
Open communication and collaboration are paramount throughout the construction process. We work closely with your contractor, artisans and installers to ensure everyone is
aligned and informed.
Full-service design is a turnkey experience. It means we manage every detail—from the initial concept, collaboration with the architect, CAD drawings, and contractor coordination to the final white-glove installation and styling. This approach is designed for busy homeowners who want a cohesive, professionally curated home without the stress of managing dozens of vendors, tracking shipments, or troubleshooting on-site logistics.

The ideal time to bring an interior designer on board is early on during the architectural planning phase, before breaking ground. By collaborating with your architect early, we can refine floor plans, optimize furniture layouts, window locations, and specify interior architectural details—like ceiling treatments and custom millwork—to ensure the structural "bones" of the home perfectly align with your finished vision.
I welcome the opportunity to collaborate. A successful home is the result of a "quadruple threat" partnership between the homeowner, the architect, the builder, and the designer. I provide the technical documentation and finish schedules your team needs to execute the design with precision, acting as your advocate to ensure the aesthetic integrity of the project is maintained from start to finish.
Every project is unique, but a full-service residential new-build or renovation typically moves through five phases: Onboarding & Conceptual Design, Design Development & Documentation, Furnishings Specifications & Procurement, Construction Administration & Installation. Depending on the scope, a single room can take 3–4 months, while a full-home build can span 12–18 months. By overseeing every moving part of the project, I ensure a seamless experience that allows you to simply anticipate the beauty of the final reveal.
Once a design is approved, I transition from creator to executor. As a full-service firm, I handle the complex logistics of "trade-only" procurement—managing the ordering, tracking, and warehousing of every piece. I serve as the primary point of contact for vendors and artisans, overseeing the technical details and timeline so the journey from the initial floor plan to the final "white-glove" installation is seamless and stress-free.
I believe that a successful design is built on a foundation of trust and transparency. We define a clear budget at the outset to ensure our creative vision aligns with your financial comfort zone. You will receive detailed proposals for every item, giving you total control and approval before a single order is placed. By prioritizing quality over trends, I ensure your investment is directed toward enduring materials and craftsmanship that elevate your home’s value.
In custom home building and high-end renovations, unforeseen challenges—from manufacturer backorders to structural surprises—are an inevitable part of the journey. My role is to act as your primary advocate and problem-solver. When a "hiccup" occurs, I don’t just bring you the problem; I bring you the solution. Whether it’s pivoting to a high-quality alternative material to meet a deadline or working on-site with your contractor to troubleshoot a technical detail, I manage the logistics and communication. This ensures the project stays on track and the aesthetic integrity of your home is never compromised. My goal is to shield you from the stress of the "middle" so you can simply enjoy the result.
