first steps

My Investment Guide is designed to give you a clear, upfront understanding of the design process, expected costs, and what it takes to bring your vision to life. It walks you through the steps of working with a designer, from initial concepts to construction, so you know exactly what to expect. By reviewing it, you’ll get a sense of how I approach design, the level of detail I bring to each project, and whether my process aligns with what you're looking for. If it resonates with you, the next step is to schedule a consultation, where we can discuss your project in depth and start shaping your home together.

This guide is especially helpful for homeowners who are new to the custom home or renovation process. It covers what decisions you'll need to make early on, how to plan for timelines and budgets, and what kind of collaboration is required along the way. I’ve included real-world project examples, pricing frameworks, and answers to the most common questions I receive from clients at the beginning of a project.

Whether you're considering a full-scale remodel, a custom ground-up build, or simply exploring your options, the Investment Guide will help you approach your project with confidence. My goal is to make sure that, from the very first step, you feel informed, supported, and inspired. Downloading the guide is a great way to see if my design philosophy and process are the right fit for your home and vision.
