When hiring contractors, do you get a discount because they work for you? Do I have a say in who gets hired?
I don't employ any contractors directly; they are independent contractors, so I don't receive any discounts. However, I can suggest a few contractors for you to consider. Ultimately, the decision to use them is yours. I also recommend obtaining quotes from multiple contractors to facilitate comparisons.
Are the design boards on your website made by you?
Yes - they are entirely sourced, graphically designed, rendered and created by me.
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There is a minimum $100 initial consultation fee and then $125/ hr
Where does the consultation take place?
Typically, I prefer to have the initial meeting at the location where the project will occur—be it a home, office, or commercial space. This helps me understand the environment and take necessary measurements. However, if you prefer to meet at a coffee shop (which I thoroughly enjoy!), that's perfectly fine as well. Just please bring along photos and measurements of the space you want designed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have years of experience in design, from marketing, graphic and interior. I am also a licensed Realtor in Florida and have experience with remodels and know the importance of adding value into your home for resale purposes.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I am currently helping design a guest house that will be an airbnb, I staged the home to sell and am now working with the new home owners to design their space - it's been incredible being apart of the whole process.
Do you recommend designing with a lot of color?
Not typically, and here’s the reason: replacing a few throw pillows or curtains is far more budget-friendly than switching out a velvet blue couch each season. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with a bold statement piece—some of my clients adore them—I generally suggest opting for subtle, neutral tones in the couch or bedding. You can then introduce vibrant colors through pillows, rugs, curtains, and artwork, which are much easier to update with the changing seasons.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I always have my clients talk through their budget and timeframe, these are important factors to go into the project knowing.
Whats your favorite room to design?
I love designing nursery’s or children’s play rooms, I am incredibly honored when clients trust me to help design a space that their kids will grow and learn in. It’s an amazing experience! My daughters nursery is my favorite room in our house.
