The Design Process

Wondering what to expect when we work together? Here’s a step-by-step guide to the process:

 

Intro Meeting – Once you schedule your free estimate, I’ll show up to the project site. I’ll take notes of your vision and budget, and we’ll go over the scope of the project together so that I can best meet your needs.​

 

Estimate – I’ll quickly email you with a design estimate. (Keep in mind that the price of furniture and any other procurement for the project can vary, so it isn’t included in the estimate.) The estimate is only for the designers time. Talk to me if you have any questions about this!

 

The BIG Step – If you’re happy with your estimate, you can easily sign and approve it online. You can also sign the letter of agreement I gave you and bring it along to our next meeting so I can sign it too. Once I get confirmation of the signed estimate you will get a link to schedule the designer to come and measure the project.

 

​Rough Drafts – I will get full measurements of the space and look over any inspiration pictures you may have collected. I’ll get some reference pictures, and then I’ll use state-of-the-art computer software to draw up a basic three-dimensional sketch. This way, you can visualize the full potential of your home and give me feedback before I complete the final design!​

 

Final Designs – After the basic design phase, I’ll get you the final design completed and ready to go. Yay! Now you can sit back and let me do the hard work of finding products and materials for your approval to bring your dream to life.(Unless you’d rather fly solo and figure this part out yourself – in that case, it’s all yours!)​

 

Other help? – I’m happy to be a “middleman” if you already have an idea in mind, and just need help implementing it. I can make purchases, find installers, and see that everything gets done according to your vision.​

 

Payment – I’ll invoice you for any design work done the prior month on the first business day of the current month. Invoicing will start the month after work begins. Further payment details are written out in the letter of agreement.​
