SERVICES OVERVIEW
To provide impeccable, appropriate designs at affordable rates, we must both have a full understanding of your vision and expectations. Collaboration can be as simple as a consultation to full interior architectural design services. You can expect the design process to have many steps:
-
Getting to know you and the scope of the project.
-
Setting a timetable for design deliverables.
-
Developing the concept into a set of drawings including 2D and 3D drawings.
-
Polishing the concept using visual design stories.
-
Providing a list of trades specialists and fielding design intent questions during the construction process.
-
Adding a few personal touches through limited furnishings and accessories selections, styling, and staging.
VISUAL DESIGN STORIES
Visual design stories are a compilation of images that denote color; texture; mood; finishes direction; and lighting, hardware, furniture and accessories selections. They are a guide to refining the vision for your project.
2D AND 3D DRAWINGS
I offer 2D and 3D drawings which are tools essential to expressing the design intent clearly between the owner, interior designer, and contractor.
RATE
Where We Begin: Setup a 15-minute FREE discovery call
Next Steps: An on-site initial consultation for $199
This 90-minute session, based on my 22 years of design experience, will encompass a diverse range of ideas, from grand concepts to practical details. This is your opportunity to explore your design aspirations and seek my expert guidance on any burning questions you may have. I won't hesitate to provide you with comprehensive answers. I'll be prepared with relevant samples, professional images, and a tape measure to facilitate concrete discussions. Before the meeting concludes, you'll receive an actionable list of our key talking points. Please note that payment in full is required at the time of the meeting.
Moving Forward: I provide two rate structures depending on the size and scale of the project.
Hourly Rate: All work is performed on an hourly basis at the rate of $125 per hour. This rate is provided for smaller design projects where drawings are not needed or required.
Fixed Fee Rate: A fixed fee is quoted for projects where full design drawings and specifications are necessary to visualize the design. I highly recommend this option! Average costs for a kitchen design are $5,000 - $7,000 and $3,500 - $5,500 for a bathroom depending on the size and level of finishes selections and details. A discount is provided for full home designs and selections.
This process has several phases including:
-
A follow-up meeting to determine the needs, wants, and goals for the scope of the design. This includes time to obtain site measurements and pictures.
-
The next phase is the FUN part! I take all of the information gathered and provide TWO designs per area. The design options typically include two different layouts, aesthetics, and finishes and fixtures selections represented through a set of 2D and 3D drawings, visual design story boards, and finishes samples and selections.
-
To ensure the design is tailored to you, I offer one round of edits and reselections.
-
After gaining design approval, I create a full set of design drawings to include completed plans, elevations, perspectives, general notes, specifications, and visual design story boards which are neatly bound in a folder for easy reference by all (homeowner and contractor/s).
-
Once the design is complete, assistance with contractor selection, pricing, construction implementation, and furnishings and accessories selections can be performed on an hourly basis.
