You should feel yourself in a space whether you're there or not. That's the whole goal. Not a room that looks good in photos, but one that reads as yours.

Staging taught me to read a room quickly and work with what's already there. Every choice has to answer the architecture, the light, and the first impression someone has walking in. I bring that same discipline to homes people actually live in.

A brand is an identity, made visible. Interiors should be, too. I approach a home the way I'd approach a brand, starting with who you are and making every piece say something about it.

No. What you invest depends on your goals for the room, the quality you want, and how flexible you are along the way. The Insight is one hour of real advice, and The Refresh gives you a finished plan without the cost of having me handle the ordering. Good design shouldn't require a full renovation to start, but I'll always be honest about what it takes to get the result you want.

It depends on the tier and the size of the space. The Insight is $75. The Refresh covers budgeting, a mood board, and sourcing, with you placing the orders. It starts at $350 for smaller rooms like bathrooms and foyers, and $750 for an empty bedroom. The Edit starts at $1,000 per room and includes ordering and scheduling handled by me. Full Service starts at $4,000. Additional design time is billed at $65 an hour, and you'll always get a clear quote before we begin. Any trade pricing I have access to goes directly to you.

Every project starts the same way, figuring out what a space is supposed to say before a single piece gets chosen. From there, it's about how far you want the work to go. A finished plan with The Refresh or The Edit, or a finished room with Full Service.

Yes. One room is often the best place to start, and we can build from there whenever you're ready.

Yes. The Insight is virtual, and The Edit works well for clients anywhere. Full Service includes the D.C. metro area, with travel added beyond it.

Designing a single room typically takes 8 to 10 weeks. Furniture lead times can extend when the room is finished, and I'll map that out with you before we begin.

Not always. If you're keeping some of what you already own, The Refresh is built for exactly that, and the pieces you keep often become the reason the rest of the room makes sense. For The Edit and Full Service, it depends on the design. Sometimes starting fresh is what gets you the result you actually want, and I'll be honest with you about which one your space needs.

Most people can't, and that's fine. Send me photos of rooms, pieces, even hotels or restaurants that made you feel something. I'll find the thread.

It depends on the tier. With The Insight, you bring the questions and we work through them together for an hour. With The Refresh, you share photos and measurements, review the plan, then place the orders and schedule deliveries using the sourcing links I provide. With The Edit, I source and purchase everything, but you oversee contractors, electricians, and installers, with me as a resource along the way. With Full Service, you approve the design and I handle the rest, from contractors to installs to the final walkthrough.

Yes. With Full Service, I manage your contractors and work closely with your architect so everyone delivers on time. With The Edit, you oversee them, and I'm there as a resource with everything you need.

Then we change it. The Refresh, The Edit, and Full Service each include two rounds of revisions, because the goal is a space you recognize yourself in.
