The Question I Get Asked Most Often
Before we even sit down together, most clients want to know the same thing: what should I bring? Do they need a Pinterest board? A budget spreadsheet? Measurements of every room? Floor plans?
The honest answer is: none of that. What I actually need from you at a consultation is much simpler — and much harder to put on a board.
What a Consultation Actually Is
A design consultation with me is not a presentation. I am not going to stand in your living room and tell you what to do while you take notes. It is a conversation. A walk-through. A structured conversation about how you actually live and what is making your space feel like it is not working.

The Questions I Will Ask You
I am going to ask you things like: where do you actually sit in this room? Where does everyone end up congregating, even though that was not the plan? Which spaces in your home do you avoid and why? What time of day does natural light hit your living room, and does the room feel right during that time?
These questions are not about style. They are about function and feeling. And the answers tell me more about what a room needs than any mood board ever could.
What You Will Walk Away With
At the end of our time together, you will not leave with a shopping list. You will leave with clarity. A clear sense of direction for the space — how it should feel, what decisions need to happen first, and what can wait.
Within three to five business days, I will send you a Design Direction Summary. It is a clean, simple document that captures everything we discussed and gives you something concrete to refer back to as you move forward. No overwhelming spreadsheets. No links to forty-seven throw pillows. Just direction.
A Note on Feeling Unprepared
Most people feel a little underprepared walking into a consultation. They worry they have not thought enough about their style, or that they will not know the right words to describe what they want.
That feeling is completely normal, and it is also not a problem. Part of what I do in that first hour is help you find the language for what you already know you want. You know more than you think you do. My job is to help you say it out loud.
