What makes you satisfied? I work to discover your essential lifestyle and interests in order to bring together a design for your dream home. What I have and what I offer in this design process are a passion for everyday beauty that drives my curiosity in furnishings, objects, styles, and designs from around the world and an interest in making you as satisfied as possible.
Four-phase design process
- Discovery
- Design
- Process-tracking & budget-tracking
- Execution
Phase I — Discovery
Our first discussions are about you, your æsthetic style, and your lifestyle. Is it relaxed or rigorous? Is it filled with family demands? We develop an æsthetic direction that is practical and attractive for you. We outline concepts about what might be renovated, what can be retained, and what we should acquire. We also come to an agreement about budget and expectations to help you make this investment in your new home a great one.
Phase II — Design
With some of our thoughts now focused, I can begin to offer suggestions based on how I think you will want to live life in your new home. We will draw out review relevant plans. We also will create your own personalized catalogue filled with photographs of furnishings, finishes, art, and objects that will fall within your budget parameters. At our design meetings, we develop our ideas further and make selections to give our process momentum.
Phase III — Process-tracking & budget-tracking
Based on your selections, we finalize your catalogue. You are given a custom personalized spreadsheet developed by accounting professionals that lets you monitor prices for all expenses. This tool enables you to track your budget and the work progress room by room.
Phase IV — Execution
Working from New York City, I give you access to some of the best available products and construction services. With our budget and catalogue in hand, we can initiate orders for furnishings and select and engage contractors and craftsmen as necessary. I provide contract administration on renovations and installations and ensure that all items ordered are received and delivered as specified. Finally, we install your furniture and artwork and arrange objects and accessories for that finished look as you enjoy your new home and life there.
