Let’s elevate your atmosphere.
The Design Vision Session
Where we begin…
I come to our first meeting as a designer, a warm ally, and a curious scientist. My senses are wide open as I listen to your dreams and challenges and as I absorb the details of your surroundings. I aim to truly understand what will serve you best and to discern the meaningful possibilities in your environment.
In this illuminating and fun session we’ll create a holistic vision of your functional, beautiful, feel-good space as we discuss specific ideas to bring it there.
The Design Vision Session is productive and empowering as a stand-alone experience to guide your personal design journey, or it lays the groundwork and direction for our deeper collaboration.
What we can do…
Invite in a fresh perspective on your environment and explore ideas to enhance its overall harmony.
Optimize how your space serves your daily routines, supporting ease and flow in your life.
Reconsider the use and arrangement of existing furnishings (sometimes transforming them right away).
Envision intelligent layouts for your new or evolving interiors.
Identify types and qualities of new pieces to seek, so acquisitions are thoughtful and wise.
Develop balanced and cohesive color schemes (for paint, as well as furnishings and finishes).
Discuss the right lighting to support both activities and ambience.
Plan décor and finishing touches to create a warm, pulled-together space.
Bring clarity and direction to your do-it-yourself projects and solve your design dilemmas.
Incorporate the wisdom of nature to enhance the energy and feel of your surroundings.
Capture our ideas and plan next steps.
Explore options for continuing our collaboration.

Payment by cash, check, or credit card.
I request at least 48 hours notice for cancellations.
If you’re outside of Seattle but still within the greater Puget Sound area, I’d love to work with you in your home though a small travel fee may apply. If you’re further away we can still work together via my virtual design services or in-person by special arrangement.
My sessions make meaningful (and fun) gifts, and I would be honored to work with your recipient. Inquire for Gift Certificates.
