Designing Dreams: client design Portfolio

Personally I'm modern California cool with electicinternational influences. Professionally though I'm a complete shapeshifter and adapt to the project at hand.  I draw inspiration from natural elements, a sense of place, and my clients personal style and story.

My fees are project-based and vary by the scope of work requested. By working with me you have access to preferred insider pricing on furnishings and also gain access to high-quality furniture that is inaccessible to the general public. I tailor my services to your needs and expectations. It's personal and unique to you.

The cost of an initial consultation varies depending on the location and scope of the project. I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation to discuss the project and provide an estimate.

We start with a quick introductory call to talk about your needs. Usually, this involves the scope of work you are looking to have done and what your project budget will be. It's also a good time to get to know each other and ask any questions you may have.

I studied Interior Design and Interior Architecture at UC Berkley and am a member of the ASID.

I've always been creative and enjoy drawing, painting, photography, architecture, and the arts. Growing up in California as a European immigrant I gained an appreciation for the juxtaposition between old and new, trendy and timeless. I started off decorating spaces for friends and family after being identified as "the stylish one" shortly after college. Later on, I flipped my first rental property and experienced the joy of seeing my tenants thrive as a result of the hard work and choices I had made. That feeling was the calling I had been waiting for.

I've worked with all kinds of customers of various backgrounds and ages. The diversity of people I can help in this field is what brings me the greatest joy.

A designer's number one job is communication. Design is a very personal process and you want to find a designer that you can communicate with openly, that understands you. A good designer also should have naturally heightened visual perception and reasoning (which can't be learned, it's an innate talent). If a designer can't quickly produce a sketch of their ideas it's a red flag.

What is your budget? What work would you like to have done? What would you like to use your space for? Who will be using it? What do you like and what do you not like about your space? When would you like the work completed? A lot of advice out there will tell you that you need to "discover your design style", however if you're working with a good designer this is not something you need to figure out on your own. Think about the more pragmatic questions and challenges you've been having in your space. Designers are here to offer you real world solutions as well as to help you express your style and personality.
