PROCESS IN PRACTICE

_____

Every project has a starting point, which for me is always conceptualizing the final product. In this example, I was tasked with creating an office space that was functional, but also sleek and stylish.

Based on the client's input during our exploratory CALL and an onsite CONSULTATION, I sent a proposal outlining the scope, estimated design fees, and timeline for your project. Once the CONTRACT was executed, I scheduled a MEASURING + INVENTORY appointment and then presented plans and elevations of my vision for the custom cabinetry and shelving, which would house the client's book collection and items to be hidden from view.

I also provided a MOOD BOARD to give the client a feel for the aesthetic direction I planned to take. Once those were approved, I began the DESIGN PHASE, where I refined the layout and identified the ideal sizes of the furniture. Then it was on to the PROJECT MANAGEMENT PHASE, where I fine-tuned the design of the custom cabinetry and shelving, and worked with a decorative painter to create a custom stain finish that complements the adjacent rooms.

The PROJECT MANAGEMENT PHASE continued after the approval of the furniture, accessories, and builtins,and purchasing began. Once all custom items were completed by the artisans and the furniture and accessories were delivered, the day we had been working toward since the consultation was upon us: INSTALLATION.
