how we work
-
DESIGN STRATEGY Our team will work with you, engaging in thoughtful discussions and gathering inspiration to meet the preferences, goals, and project vision. During this phase, we start the creative process by curating mood boards, combining colors, textures, and elements to set the tone for the project. This allows us to craft a design strategy that aligns seamlessly with the unique project style and objectives.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN During this phase, we focus on developing general layouts and sketches, ensuring every aspect of the design meets the project requirements before moving into hard material selections
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Building upon conceptual design, we dive into creating a fully coordinated presentation package for the project. Our team will produce final layouts, select materials and curate samples.This phase is where we transform concepts into tangible designs through presentations and renderings.
-
PROCUREMENT We manage the full procurement process - from ordering all furniture, materials, and custom items to coordinating with trusted vendors. Our team oversees every detail to ensure quality control, timely delivery, and seamless installation.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We provide hands-on project management from concept to completion, collaborating with your chosen general contractor—whether local or out-of-state. Our team oversees every phase of construction, ensuring that design intent is faithfully executed and building requirements are met. Through consistent communication, detailed coordination, and regular site visits when possible, we act as your advocate throughout the process, keeping your project aligned, on schedule, and true to the vision.

We collaborate with experienced curators and stylists to bring layered, personalized character to your space.
