4 Easy Steps to Enjoying Your Design Dream
Step 1. Free Discovery Call
Every design journey, here, starts with this no-charge, no-obligation Discovery Call. It’s the perfect opportunity to see if this is the right fit for you and your home. I would love to learn about your plans and ideas and answer any questions you have about my simple and complete approach.
This 15 to 30 minute phone conversation is easy to schedule and you’ll hear from me within 24 hours to confirm your booking.
Step 2. Design Work Session
You’ll find this 3-hour work session is an enjoyable and exciting, design solution-packed meeting. We’ll identify your goals, outline your Action Plan and you’ll receive lots of design tips and resource ideas.
If your design goals are simple, or you’re a serious shopper, or a dedicated DIY’er, this may be all you need to take it from here. If not, Step 3 is your next step…
Step 3. Full Design Service
Here’s the full picture — plans, budget, visuals, master colour palette, finishes, fittings, furnishing, and shopping lists. You’ll have easy 24/7 access to all details and documents organized in your private online studio. Imagine knowing exactly what to buy and what happens next!
If you enjoy making on-the-fly decisions, are super organized, and love handling issues that pop up, you’ll be well-prepared to carry on with your Full Design Service in hand. If you’re thinking not, Step 4 is where you’ll be really happy to let me deal with all that stress.
Step 4. Design Implementation
Here’s where you’ll entrust me to keep your design project moving forward, to handle issues, follow up on orders and delays, communicate with your contractor, and address day-to-day decisions. I want this to be a stress-free, positive and, even, fun experience for you. You’ll receive reports and communications from me when and how it’s most convenient for you.
And that’s all there is to it! Together, we’ll create a wonderful home for you to share with family and friends. And to think, it all starts with a few design ideas and a Discovery Call.
