What exactly do you do?
I help people clarify their design direction before they make decisions.
Rather than jumping straight into purchasing or decorating (very costly), I establish a clear foundation built upon how a space should feel, function, and flow, so every choice that follows makes sense.
Some clients use that direction to move forward on their own. Others continue into more hands-on design support with me. Either way, clarity comes first.
Why start with design direction instead of jumping straight into a finished room?
Because most frustration (and wasted money) comes from skipping this step.
When direction is unclear, people buy pieces they love individually but the room never fully comes together. Establishing a design foundation first prevents that cycle and creates a roadmap for everything that follows.
It’s the same process I use for full-service projects and it determines how far I take the execution.
What do I actually receive from a Design Direction Session?
You’ll receive:
- A focused consultation to understand your taste, lifestyle, and goals
- A custom visual design plan that reflects your unique direction
- Written guidance outlining tone, materials, layout priorities, and other elements
- Curated product direction to support confident next steps
This becomes your reference point as you move forward, whether independently or with me.
Is this the same as a mood board or inspiration board?
No.
Inspiration boards show what’s possible.
Design foundations explain what works for you, and most importantly, why.
My boards are strategic tools, not aesthetic collages. They’re meant to guide decisions, not just look pretty.
Why would I invest in a digital design plan if I ultimately want my room “done”?
Because a well-designed room starts long before anything is ordered.
The design direction ensures that when execution begins, whether with me or someone else, and the outcome is cohesive, intentional, and aligned with how you actually live.
For clients who want a fully finished space, this step is required and becomes the foundation for full-service design.
Do you offer full-service interior design?
Yes, on a limited basis.
Full-service design builds on an approved design direction and includes space planning, selections, purchasing guidance, and styling. Availability is intentionally limited to ensure focused, high-quality work.
Can I skip the consultation and just buy a board?
Yes, if you prefer a self-guided approach.
The Design Foundation Collection offers six curated design directions created to help you identify what resonates and apply it to your space independently. It’s ideal for clients who want clarity without customization.
What if I just want a few ideas?
If you’re looking for quick suggestions or decorating advice, my services may not be the right fit.
I specialize in creating clarity and cohesion, not offering scattered ideas. Clients who get the most value from my work are those who want a thoughtful, intentional direction they can trust.
Why do your services cost what they do?
You’re not paying for furniture selections or links. You’re paying for professional design thinking, clarity, and direction.
This process saves clients time, reduces decision fatigue (or paralysis!), and prevents costly missteps. Many clients tell me the clarity alone was worth the investment.
Do you work with builders, realtors, or investors?
Yes.
I offer scalable, flat-fee design direction packages for builders, investors, and real estate professionals who want cohesive, elevated results without managing every design detail.
How do I know if this is right for me?
You’re likely a good fit if:
- You feel overwhelmed by options
- You love many styles but struggle to narrow them down
- You want your space to feel intentional, not accidental
- You value clarity before commitment
If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to reach out with questions!
