SITE MEASURE
We get every inch of your project space measured to prepare detailed floor plans.

DESIGN CONCEPT
I'll bring your vision to life by developing a cohesive design concept tailored to your space, style, and budget. From detailed floor plans and space planning to paint colours, materials, finishes, lighting, fixtures, and furnishings, every element is thoughtfully selected to create a beautiful, functional, and harmonious result.

DESIGN PRESENTATION
Your feedback matters! After reviewing your design presentation, you'll have the opportunity to share your thoughts, request adjustments, and fine-tune the details. I'll incorporate your feedback into the first round of revisions, ensuring the design reflects your vision, preferences, and priorities before moving forward.

REVISIONS
We're getting closer to your vision! During the second round of revisions, we'll review the updated design and make any final refinements within the agreed scope of work. This is your opportunity to fine-tune the details, confirm your selections, and ensure everything comes together as planned before we finalize your design documentation and prepare for the next stage of your project.

FINAL DESIGN
With your revisions complete and selections finalized, your design is ready to move into the next phase. I'll prepare the final design documentation, including the relevant floor plans, specifications, finishes, and product selections, to provide your contractor and trades with a clear direction for executing the project. This ensures everyone is working from the same design plan, helping streamline communication, coordinate the details, and bring your vision to life.

TRANSPARENT PRICING. NO UNNECESSARY MARKUPS.
I work directly with vendors, suppliers, and trades to negotiate competitive pricing on materials, products, fixtures, furnishings, and services for your project. Rather than adding a markup to these purchases, I pass the negotiated savings directly on to you. You benefit from my industry knowledge, professional relationships, and sourcing expertise while maintaining greater control over your project budget.
