Complete Transformation as easy as 1, 2, 3,,, (actually, 1, 2, 3, 4).

All photos and drawings below are from the same kitchen project - the one featured in my video on the main page.

1. Discovery Phase

  • During the initial consultation (virtual or in-home) we explore how you home needs to change in order to fit your needs and lifestyle. We discuss scope of work necessary to achieve it, a very rough budget, steps to get you ready for construction. I'm typically able to price my design services on the spot (on average, you should expect design services to add 10% to project budget. If you have a roughly 50K kitchen project, it will most likely cost ~5K to design it).
  • If you have a Pinterest or Houzz Ideabook, I would love to see it!
  • I measure your home either during initial consultation or as soon as design contract is accepted.

2. Collaborative Space Design

(this is where the hard work happens)

  • We meet and discuss my preliminary designs together - in your home or virtually via screen-sharing. My design process is very interactive process - we switch between 3d rendering walkthrough and a floorplan. We explore different possible variants of the space, plan approximate placement and sizing of cabinets and decide on the placement of appliances and plumbing fixtures(and their type).
  • This stage ends with a set of drawings which can be used for permits, contractor bids and actual construction. In between meetings, I provide pdf presentations with floorplan options and 3d renderings.

3. Selections and Sourcing (this is where true fun begins!)

  • We select in a particular order that makes sense from project management and leadtime standpoint ā€“ typically cabinets and appliances first, countertop and backsplash second and selections such as hardware, accessories and paint last. This of course gets modified if particular selection has a long leadtime or dictates other selections, such as statement backsplash tile or stone hood.
  • I make sure this all will look amazing together throughout the process. šŸ˜Š You see your selections rendered in 3D as we make them and added to your presentation file. No need to imagine anything, no surprises or regrets!
  • As we make those selections, I prepare detailed drawings for your cabinets, tile, hardware placement which saves time and headache during construction.

4. Implementation / Construction

  • This is when your builder/contractor takes over. I remain just a text or call away in case of any questions, but one of my special skills is keeping questions to minimum by providing accurate and detailed drawings and product downtime to minimum with accurate ordering.
  • In plain words ā€“ the better the designer, the less they have to do in this phase šŸ˜‰ But Iā€™m with you till the end of the punchlist in case design needs to be modified for site conditions or contractor needs support.

Now all that's left to do is enjoy the finished product!
