I’m not a contractor myself, but I love collaborating with contractors to bring your design to life. If you already have one lined up, I’ll work directly with them to make sure the design is executed just as we’ve envisioned, guiding them on layout, materials, and any other project details. If you don’t have a contractor yet, no worries—I have a network of trusted professionals I can connect you with, based on the specific needs of your project. The benefit of working with me, as opposed to a contractor-led project, is that I focus on design first and foremost—ensuring every detail is thoughtfully planned so that your space not only looks great but functions beautifully. My goal is to make sure everything flows seamlessly from design to execution, and I’ll be there every step of the way to ensure that you and your contractor are on the same page.
The cost of your project is determined by a comprehensive price per square foot, which takes into account the full scope of work, specific services provided, and the total size of the project. This method allows for a clear and accurate estimate based on the complexity of your needs and the overall scale of the project. Whether it's designing a small space or a large-scale renovation, I’ll assess the details and provide a tailored quote that reflects both the size and scope of the work involved, giving you a transparent and straightforward understanding of the costs from the start.
It’s a common misconception that working with a designer automatically means higher costs. In fact, having a designer on board can actually save you money in the long run. While contractors focus on the build and execution, a designer brings expertise in planning, sourcing, and optimizing your space to make sure everything works together seamlessly. By avoiding costly mistakes, choosing the right materials, and streamlining the design process, a designer can help you get more value out of your project. Plus, as part of my services, I can access wholesale pricing on furniture and materials, often offsetting the cost of my fee. When you factor in the added value of a well-planned, beautiful, and functional space, the investment in a designer can actually be more cost-effective than going it alone.
