Thank you for your inquiry!

I am committed to bringing a meticulous and detailed focus to your project, regardless of its size or complexity.

Getting Started: The Initial Consultation

The first step is a consultation, which we can hold in person or virtually. This meeting is an invaluable chance for us to dive deep into your project vision, goals, and creative inspirations. Understanding your insights is essential, and I look forward to helping you refine and articulate them into a successful design.

To make our initial meeting as productive as possible, please come prepared to discuss:

  • Project scope, timeline, and budget.

  • Preferred fee structure (e.g., à la carte pricing, lump sum, hourly rate, or percentage of construction cost).

  • Your desired level of involvement throughout the process.

Following our discussion, I will send you a comprehensive proposal outlining the full scope of services, fees, and terms for your review. I encourage you to request any necessary revisions before we finalize our contract.
