The Real Cost of Good Taste
Good design isn’t just about how a room looks; it’s about how well the process works for you. Our services are structured around time, judgment, and execution, not product sales or hidden margins. You pay for expertise and guidance, with full visibility into where your investment goes. The result is thoughtful design, clear communication, and a process that respects both your taste and your time.
The strongest projects take shape when clients are engaged in the work as it unfolds. Decisions are made with context, carried forward with intention, and supported along the way. When involvement is consistent, the work holds together naturally, resulting in spaces that feel cohesive, durable, and quietly resolved.
Initial Consultation
A thoughtful hour with a seasoned designer—perfect for untangling design dilemmas, fine-tuning layouts, or making sense of color choices. You’ll leave with clear recommendations, an organized plan, and answers to all those questions that keep you second-guessing.

À La Carte Design
A practical way to bring a seasoned designer into your project, exactly when you need it. Whether it’s selecting finishes, rethinking a tricky space, or just making sure your ideas hold up in the real world, we’re there as a guide. $195 per hour, 25-hour minimum. Travel and design time are both included.
Before we begin, we’ll outline how your hours are used and how long they’re valid, so you always know where you stand.
Flat-Rate Design
Design shouldn’t be a guessing game. For larger or more involved projects, we offer a single, all-inclusive fee—no hidden costs, no markups, no surprises. You pay your contractors and suppliers directly, while we manage the process, keep an eye on quality, and ensure every detail reflects your taste.
Your rate is tailored to your project’s size and scope. What you see is what you get: honest guidance, thoughtful design, and a process that’s as smooth as the finished result.
