FULL SERVICES

If you are planning on building a new home with an architect or custom builder or considering a major renovation in your home, I would love to speak with you.  These are ideal projects because this is where my organization skills and penchant for well edited, smartly designed spaces really shines.  I understand how busy life gets, how many details need attention, and how to make to the process more enjoyable for you.  While much of my full-service work is concentrated in Chicago, NW Indiana and SW Michigan, I also work on select out of state projects. 

THE PROCESS

Step 1: Discovery
This is where we get to know each other. We explore your goals and challenges, gather inspiration, and begin to shape a vision that is entirely yours.

Step 2: Initial Design
Preliminary floor plans and elevations are developed alongside a clear understanding of your financial objectives, ensuring your vision is both beautiful and achievable.

Step 3: Design Development
Working in close collaboration, we select every finish and fixture, develop detailed room-by-room specifications, and design custom cabinetry, millwork, rugs, furnishings, and window treatments. Every element is considered so nothing falls through the cracks.

Step 4: Construction Documentation
Every detail is refined and clearly communicated to your construction team through technical drawings, specification books for plumbing and lighting, and schedules for paint and hardware.

Step 5: Procurement
Every fixture, finish, and furnishing is ordered and carefully tracked through our trusted network of vendors and suppliers.

Step 6: Project Management
Regular site visits, meetings, meeting minutes, and punch lists keep everything on track and built precisely to plan. This is the all-business stage – and I genuinely love it, so you don’t have to.
