Q&A
How do you describe your design style in a few words? ?
Refreshing, original, inviting…Timelessly stylish.
Which projects excite you most?
I most enjoy projects that include space planning, reimagining an existing space, or creating a new one. This most often comes into play when doing kitchens and baths which are among my favorite parts of the home to do.
What kinds of budgets and project scopes do you usually take on?
I have taken on projects as large as an entire apartment complex and as small as a single powder room. In both size, scope and budget could not be more different, but what is always the same are these 3 essential considerations for me to take on a project:
#1. Does this project have the promise to be creative, engaging and fun or me?
#2 Is there a good energy with the client and potential for a strong collaboration?
# 3 Is the proposed budget realistic and align with the scope and expectation of the outcome?
If the answer is yes, then I can’t wait to collaborate!
