Design Consultation

Our design consultations are intended for those who are not ready for a full-service design firm but would like the eyes of a professional on their project. Come with a long list of questions, information received, product samples (and their specifications: who made the product, what is the model number, etc), existing drawings or sketches you’ve done, floor plans, inspiration imagery, wish lists, priority lists, etc.

**This is not a live design session**

Design is a time-intensive process. This is the first step, and a chance to talk out the project, or to verify choices and gain direction. It is an opportunity to pick a designer's brain, so that you may move forward independently or determine whether a design firm is the best option for you.
