From initial concept to every intentional detail, personal design is a collaborative journey.
Beginning the Design Journey
Great design is never an accident; it is the result of a deliberate, collaborative journey from initial concept to the final, intentional detail. This systematic approach ensures that every aesthetic choice is backed by technical precision, transforming project objectives into a cohesive and timeless reality. By breaking the process down into four thorough stages including Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, and Project Management, I provide a clear roadmap that prioritizes open communication, functional space planning, and the seamless implementation of a vision for your home.
Step 1: Programming
The first step in the design process is a site discovery visit. We meet in the existing space to determine your project objectives, general timeline, and budget. During this phase, we record measurements, document the area with photographs, measurements, and notes, and walk through a detailed questionnaire to capture your specific requirements and preferences to ensure a solid foundation for every future phase.
∙ Deliverables: Site Discovery, Existing Condition Survey.
∙ Deliverables: Site Discovery, Existing Condition Survey.
∙ Design Investment: Flat-Rate Launch Packages from $750 – $2,500 (Boutique to Expanded Tiers); $4,500+ for Estate-level projects.
Step 2: Schematic Design
Our next meeting focuses on a survey of discoveries. I present an overview of the project that encapsulates a complete vision. To ensure we are achieving your objectives, I provide a proposal featuring initial floor plans and design boards that set the tone for the aesthetic direction.
∙ Deliverables: Drafted Space Planning Set (Scaled Demolition & Conceptual Floor Plans) and Curated Aesthetic Boards.
∙ Design Investment: Included in the Project Launch Package.
Step 3: Design Development
As the project progresses, we finalize key decisions. Layouts are chosen, materials are selected, and furniture and accessories are specified. We schedule presentation meetings to review tangible material samples, 3D floor plans, and other visual aids. When applicable, full construction documents are drafted during this phase.
∙ Deliverables: CAD Elevations, Tile/Surface Plans, Lighting RCPs, and FF&E Schedules.
∙ Design Investment: Itemized by Linear Foot & Tiered by Square Footage.
Step 4: Project Management
An integral part of the process is the coordination of every moving part. I manage deliveries and installations while ensuring the proper implementation of the design. Once the project is realized, we conduct a final walk-through for documentation and to ensure your complete satisfaction.
∙ Deliverables: Procurement Management, Trade Coordination, & Final Walk-through.
∙ Design Investment: Essential Site Coordination is integrated; Intensive Project Management is billed via Hourly Rate or Percentage of Project Spend.
