Our Process
Working with a designer should be an exciting and clear process. We're here to guide you every step of the way, transforming your vision into a reality with a process that's as transparent as it is creative.
STEP 1: THE INITIAL CONSULTATION
Our journey begins with a conversation. We'll meet to discuss your project, your personal style, and how you want your space to feel. This is where we get to know you, your goals, and your vision for the project. We'll talk through your budget and timeline to ensure we're aligned from the very start.
STEP 2: DESIGN AND STRATEGY
Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we'll get to work creating a custom design concept. This involves developing space plans, selecting materials, and curating furniture and finishes. We'll present these ideas to you, using mood boards, 3D renderings and samples to help you visualize the transformation. We'll refine the design bringing your vision to life, while making sure it functions beautifully and meets your specific needs.
STEP 3: EXECUTION AND MANAGEMENT
With a final design in place, we handle all the details. We manage the ordering, procurement, and scheduling of everything—from furniture and lighting to working with contractors and tradespeople. We'll be on-site as needed to oversee the project and ensure every detail is executed correctly.
STEP 4: THE FINAL REVEAL
This is the most exciting part! Once all the work is complete, we'll unveil your beautifully designed space. It’s the culmination of our collaboration—a space that feels authentic to you, ready for you to enjoy. As a final touch, we'll provide a binder of all materials used, complete with care instructions to ensure your new finishes last and look their best for years to come.
Meet the Duo
Caroline’s passion for design began while assisting her grandmother's design company. With a background in custom home and floral design, she loves blending different genres to create balanced, eclectic spaces that feel both elegant and inviting.
Tia was inspired by the craftsmanship of her carpenter father and her own personal home remodels. She pursued a design degree to master the technical skills needed to create serene, symmetrical, and functional spaces that stand the test of time.
As a duo, we combine creative vision with technical expertise. We believe in a collaborative approach, guiding clients through the design journey with clarity and enthusiasm to create spaces that are a true reflection of those who live in them.
