Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What kind of projects do you work on?
From picking out paints and pillows all the way up to every little detail in a large commercial project. I enjoy working with people and no job is too small
What separates you from other designers/decorators?
First, I think that this is my calling and I am passionate about giving people an amazing space to come home to. I want you to love your space and I want to be the person who does that for you.
Are there any other things that separate you from other designers/decorators?
Most designers make their money by adding a premium or add-on (typically 10%) to anything you buy. There are two main issues with this. If you have a $35,000 kitchen remodel, that’s an additional $3500 to the designer. You only pay me for the time I actually spend on your project.
Are you able to give discounts?
While most designers mark up your purchases, I actually have the ability to save you money. I have discounts with many contractors, sub-contractors, and material/goods providers. A lot of them give me a discount for bringing in so much business and I like to pass that savings on to you.

Most designers make their money by adding a premium or add-on (typically 10%) to anything you buy. There are two main issues with this. If you have a $35,000 kitchen remodel, that’s an additional $3500 to the designer. The second issue is that there is nothing in it for them to save you money. Imagine looking at couches. Will they show you the $5000 couch or the $1500 couch? What’s in it for them to save you money? You only pay me for the time I actually spend on your project. I can honestly give you my opinion because there’s nothing in it for me.
Are you a contractor?
No, but over time, I’ve built an incredible team of contractors and subcontractors that I can refer you to.
Can you do any Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings for me?
My expertise is in design, style, and colors. While CAD drawings are very cool, it’s almost never necessary for a good design. I can refer you to a qualified draftsman or architect if you’d like to incur the extra cost.
