How We'll Work Together

Let's talk. Give me a call, and let's chat about you. I want to hear your ideas, your plans, the vision you've been carrying around in your head (however jumbled – I promise I've heard it all). Every client is different, and so is every project, which means my process bends to fit yours, not the other way around.

Let's meet. At my studio, on site, or somewhere in between – your call. We'll talk through the project properly: goals, priorities, what the space needs to do for you day to day. Budgets, trades, timelines, the lot. This is the part where you get to lay everything on the table, even if it’s messy.

Let's establish a brief. After listening (and, scoping the room for items I recognise as interesting or important to you), I'll put together a return brief outlining a potential scope of works – so we're both working from the same picture before anything else happens.

Let's agree on fees. Once you're happy with the brief and scope, I'll prepare a fee proposal.

Some projects need everything, concept through to full documentation. Others just need a guided, curated shopping trip and some carefully chosen furniture. Some are simply a plan review, one clear-eyed opinion on a decision you've been circling for weeks. Others are all-encompassing, start to finish, mess to magazine-ready.

Whatever shape your project takes, your needs are captured in the brief and reflected in the fees - fixed, hourly, or retainer, whichever suits. I have the flexibility to meet your brief and your budget, so you always know exactly what you're paying for and what you'll get in return.
