Our Process
Step One - The Design Consultation
- A one hour in home or in office complimentary consultation
- Develop an understanding of your specific goals, determine your budget and expectations
- Explain our services including qualifications and billing practices
- Provide a sample contract with a brief introduction to our business operations
- Reassure understanding and confidence of our transparency policies
During this first meeting please make sure all decision-making individuals involved are present. We use this initial consultation to see whether we are a good fit for each other, and if our services are the best option for your project.
Step Two - The Contract

information derived in initial meeting

Our full spectrum design services are strictly contract based. Once we receive the deposit or retainer fee,

seamless, worry-free experience!
