Frequently Asked Questions
What makes you different from other designers?
Most of my clients come from word of mouth. After years of working in the business, clients have come to know that I really care about service and about creating an exceptional experience. Your home really matters.
I take pride in creating highly personalized spaces by focusing on your specific needs, the unique character of your home, and using a blend of innovative solutions. My clients appreciate my attention to detail, my dedication to collaboration, and my ability to turn their vision into reality.
What is your design style?
I adapt my design style to each client's preferences and the unique architecture of the space. While I have experience in various styles—such as modern, transitional, and contemporary—my priority is to create spaces that reflect your personality and meet your lifestyle needs.
What is your process for working with clients?
I begin with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, needs, and lifestyle. Then, I create mood boards and design concepts for your feedback. Throughout the project, I maintain close communication, managing timelines and budgets to ensure a smooth process and a result that exceeds your expectations.
How do you manage budgets and timelines?
I take budgeting and timelines very seriously. At the start of the project, we will set clear expectations. I provide a detailed estimate and work within your budget. Throughout the process, I keep you updated on any potential changes and work with trusted contractors to ensure deadlines are met."
What is your fee structure?
I offer different pricing structures depending on the project scope. It could be a flat fee, an hourly rate, or a percentage of the total project cost. We will discuss which option makes the most sense for your project during our initial consultation.
Can you work within my budget?
Absolutely. During our consultation, we will discuss your budget in detail and prioritize what matters most to you. I specialize in finding creative solutions that fit various price points without compromising on quality or style.
How do you handle unexpected issues during a project?
In every project, unforeseen challenges may arise. I always have contingency plans and collaborate closely with my team and suppliers to find quick and efficient solutions, keeping you informed throughout the process.
ARE THERE ANY PROJECTS THAT ARE TOO LARGE OR TOO SMALL?
Every project is different in scale and scope. Some projects require new wall colours and a few added pieces to refresh, while others require a whole house renovation. Feel free to reach out anytime to discuss the possibility for your home.
How do you ensure the project reflects my personal taste?
I invest time upfront to understand your preferences, inspirations, and lifestyle. By asking key questions, reviewing images or Pinterest boards you like, and providing samples, I ensure the final design is a true reflection of your taste.
How do you select furniture, finishes, and materials?
I select items based on your aesthetic preferences, functionality needs, and budget. I also consider factors like durability and maintenance to ensure each choice works for your lifestyle. You will have the final say in every major decision.
How do you communicate throughout the project?
I maintain regular communication via email, phone calls, and site visits. I also provide project updates, so you always know what’s happening. Open communication is a key part of my process to ensure that the project stays on track.
How long will the project take?
It depends on the scope of the project, but after our initial consultation, I’ll provide a detailed timeline. I factor in lead times for furniture, contractor availability, and any potential delays to give a realistic time frame upfront.
