You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

Take a deep breath.

There are two ways I can help. Let’s take a look.

What’s Next?

I take a nap while you poke around the rest of my website.

No, Really, What’s Next?

You’re either booking a call or leaving me a message.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "HAPPINESS GUARANTEE"?
      I guarantee that you’ll be happy with what you get.
      You only pay me the amount that feels right to you.
      Zero risk.
      I don’t want your money if you’re disappointed. Really, I don’t.
    WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT? AND HOW CAN YOU SAVE ME MONEY?

     

    Two questions for the price of one! Hah!

    I give you advice that’s actually aimed at your space, your style, and your budget, not a generic list of pretty things that cost a fortune.

    If you want luxury and can manage a $15,000 sofa, that’s what we’ll aim for.

    If you’re watching your spending, we’ll find something beautiful for a lot less.

    You are in control of your money and the timeline.

    WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN STYLE?

     

    My design style is YOUR design style. In other words, I find out what style you like and help you make that happen. I’ve done lots of styles: 

    Mid-century modern (Yes, I’ve known me some Eichlers!)

    French country (Ooh la la + roosters)

    Hollywood regency (Glam meets high style comfort)

    Classic / Traditional (Great trim + great curves + timeless appeal)

    Transitional (An eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary)

    Contemporary (Streamline with impact)

    Bohemian (Funky fun!)

    Asian Zen (Think Japanesque)

    Farmhouse (Cows-n-oinkers)

    Coastal (Feel the breeze)

    Tech Dude (Geek meets sleek)

    Hygge (Danish without the jelly)

    Kids (Small’ns up to teens)

    No Particular Style (Good design doesn’t have to fit a label)

    Messy Artist (See my about page for evidence)

    Your Unique Style (Because nothing about you is boring)

    DO YOU HELP BUSINESSES TOO?

    I’m primarily a residential designer, but I’ve helped businesses and multi-family residential spaces too. Everything from a donut shop to clothing store, to surgeon’s office to lobbies of all kinds. 

    I’m happy to help where I can! Give me a call. 

    HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR PER HOUR RATE?

     

    Oh! I round up to the 5 minute mark. In other words, if we worked for 18 minutes, I’d ask you to pay me for 20.

    Yep that’s right, I’m planning to get rich off of all the 2 minute increments I get paid without working. 

    WHAT IF I DON'T LIVE CLOSE BY?

    You’re in luck, especially when it comes to my one room package. It’s basically e-design. Virtual, customized, and delivered right to your inbox.

    Many of my clients are happiest getting everything through email, phone, or Zoom, even when they live in my own neighborhood. (Hmmm…maybe that means I should check my underarm deodorant.)

    I’m based in San Jose, California. Most of my clients are in the South Bay and Silicon Valley area, but I’ve been known to travel for in-person visits with special arrangements.

    OVER OR UNDER?

     

    Over.

    You know…toilet paper? The loose tail should come up and over the top, not be flapping against the wall in the back. 

    I can explain why.
