Testimonials

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We specialize in high-end residential interiors with an emphasis on cabinetry and architectural finishes. Our work includes full-home renovations, new construction design, and custom kitchen and bath transformations. We work best with clients who value intentionality, beauty, and exceptional craftsmanship.

  • No. Our work is deeply tied to implementation. We provide a full-service experience, managing your project from design development through procurement and installation to ensure every detail is executed to our standards.

  • If you’re seeking a trusted guide to bring clarity, elevate your home, and steward your investment with excellence and integrity—chances are, we’re a great match. We work best with clients who are decisive, respectful of the process, and eager to collaborate.

  • Each project is unique, but we are a luxury design firm with thoughtfully structured fees that reflect the depth of experience and attention we offer. We provide detailed proposals after a Discovery Call and initial consultation to help you understand the scope and investment required.

  • We’ll guide you through a proven budgeting process based on historical data, market value, and your goals. We don’t ask you to guess your budget—we help you define it realistically, so you can decide confidently if you’d like to proceed.

  • While we understand that some clients have existing relationships, we strongly recommend working with our trusted network of builders, architects, and trade professionals. These partnerships have been carefully curated over time and are based on a shared commitment to elevated quality, communication, and craftsmanship. We’ve developed a proven, collaborative process with these professionals that consistently leads to exceptional results and client satisfaction. If you have someone in mind, we’re happy to have an open conversation to ensure the team alignment will support the high standards we promise our clients.

  • You have hired our team to design and complete a vision for your space and we ask that you do not select or purchase items because that selection may not be a fit for the design, space, or investment figure. We find the best products that fit your expectations and negotiate the best price for your project. Further, when we purchase the materials for you we then take on all the logistics and any product issues for you.

  • Timelines vary depending on the scope, but we guide every client through our Design Roadmap—a living document that outlines each stage of your project, from the initial consultation to final drawings and selections. This roadmap is regularly updated to reflect real-time progress and any adjustments, such as product delays, scheduling conflicts, or the time needed to make thoughtful decisions.

    We prioritize clear, prompt communication—and expect the same from all parties involved to help keep the project on track.

    While we can’t control the full construction schedule or potential delays outside our scope, we collaborate closely with the builder and vendors to keep the entire team aligned. Our goal is to complete the design phase with precision—ensuring materials are specified, cabinetry is ordered, and all selections are finalized well in advance of installation.

    We take full ownership of the design process and ensure you always know where we are and what’s coming next. We move with intention and efficiency—never rushing creativity, always elevating quality.

  • We blend creative excellence with deep technical knowledge—especially when it comes to cabinetry and space planning. Our level of detail is unmatched, and our clients frequently tell us they feel seen, supported, and well-cared-for throughout the journey.
    We bring together over two decades of specialized design expertise with a deep mastery of cabinetry and space planning—an area where even experienced designers often fall short. Our work is guided by an unwavering commitment to thoughtful, elevated design and a level of detail that has become our signature.

    With that said, we don’t just lead—we listen. We take the time to understand how you live, what you love, and what you don’t. While we’ll always advocate for what serves the integrity of the design, we’ll never push you toward something that doesn’t align with your preferences or lifestyle. Collaboration is key: our clients are active participants in the process and walk away with not only a beautiful space, but a sense of ownership and pride in the final result.

  • It begins with a Discovery Call to learn more about your project, timeline, and goals. If we feel aligned, we’ll schedule an in-person consultation to explore your space, share ideas, and outline the next steps for working together.

  • A Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD) is the highest distinction awarded by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), and it is earned by only a select group of professionals across the country. Achieving this title requires a minimum of 17 years of specialized experience in kitchen and bath design, completion of multiple certifications, and passing rigorous exams that assess technical knowledge, design ability, and industry best practices.

    But the designation goes beyond experience alone—it also reflects a deep commitment to the profession. To become a CMKBD, a designer must demonstrate leadership, mentorship, and meaningful contributions to the industry, such as publishing, speaking, or mentoring others in the field. It’s a recognition of both mastery and service.

    Working with a CMKBD means you’re choosing a designer who not only has decades of hands-on experience but also continues to learn, lead, and elevate the profession. It’s peace of mind that your space is being handled by someone who understands not just what looks beautiful—but what works, what lasts, and what avoids costly errors down the road.

  • UDCP stands for Universal Design Certified Professional, a designation awarded by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). It means I’m trained in designing spaces that are accessible, inclusive, and adaptable for people of all ages and abilities—without sacrificing beauty or luxury. Whether you're planning for aging in place, multigenerational living, or simply want a space that’s as practical as it is stunning, Universal Design principles ensure your home will serve you well for years to come.
