One-Day Design Session
A private working day for homeowners who need a plan, not a project.
You don't need months of meetings to make good decisions. You need an experienced designer in the room, a full day of focus, and a written plan you can act on when it's over.
The Design Intensive is a private, one-day working session with me. We tackle your biggest design decisions in a single sitting, cut through the options, and you leave with direction that holds up, whether you're executing on your own or the day turns into something bigger.
This is not a consultation. It's a deep, hands-on working day, and it moves fast. $3500.
Where A Design Intensive Day Fits
I offer three ways to work together:
A Design Strategy Session is two hours and a written recap, the starting point for every project.
The Design Intensive is a full day, a written plan, and one room's direction you can see.
Design Comprehensive is the whole thing: design, procurement, and installation, managed end to end until you walk in when it's done.
If you're deciding between the Design Strategy Session and the Design Intensive, here's the test: if you have one big question, book a Strategy Session. If you have a whole room, a renovation, or a house full of decisions and you want them made likerightnow, book the Intensive day.
What This Day Is Designed To Do
You've saved the inspiration. You've lived with the space. You might even know what you want. What you don't have is confidence that the pieces fit together, and the wrong call on a sofa, a tile, or a layout is a $10,000 mistake you'll live with for years.
The challenge isn't vision. It's knowing what to choose, what to prioritize, and how to move forward without regret.
That's what the Design Intensive solves. We align your goals, your space, and your investment so every decision is grounded and intentional, whether you're choosing finishes for a renovation, furnishing a key room, or finally settling the space that's been bothering you for three years.
A Design Intensive Is Right for You If...
You're decisive and hands-on. You want an expert in the room to confirm you're making the right calls, not to take the project over.
Your time is limited and you'd rather make the big decisions in one focused day than spread them across a season of back-and-forth.
You want real progress without a full-service engagement. You'll execute the plan, or you'll come back to us for Design Comprehensive when you're ready.
Design Intensives are available within 30 miles of Macon, or virtually via Zoom for clients located outside Middle Georgia. I accept one Design Intensive per month. That's not scarcity for its own sake; it's the only way the day gets my full attention.
What’s Included in a Design Intensive...
Preparation
Before the day, you'll complete a short questionnaire and we'll have a quick prep call. The day stays focused on the decisions that matter, not warm-up conversation.
A Full Working Day
Five hours of hands-on design time with my full attention. Layouts, finishes, furnishings, and overall direction, worked through in real time with decisions made as we go. Lunch is on me so we don't lose momentum mid-day (nobody likes being hangry!).
21 Years in the Room
You'll have two decades of design experience next to you as you weigh options and tradeoffs. That's clear direction in real-time - no second-guessing, or endless choices.
✔️ One Room, Visualized
In the last hour, we build a moodboard for your priority room together, on screen, with you reacting live. It's finished when the day ends, and it's yours.
✔️ Your Intensive Plan
Within 48 hours you'll receive a written plan: every decision by room, paint and finish direction with names and codes, the first move to make, and a sequenced action plan with investment ranges for each phase. It also names the point where this becomes a Design Comprehensive project, if it ever does.
✔️ One Round of Questions
Within 14 days, send me one email with your clarifying questions and I'll answer them. Then the engagement closes and the plan is yours to run with.
... And What’s Not Included
The Intensive is a decision day, not a full design package. It does not include floor plans, elevations, product sourcing, shopping lists, or purchasing.
If you're looking for more support and further design development, our Design Comprehensive service is likely your next step (and we'll discuss that before the day is up).
Investment + Next Steps
The Design Intensive is $3,500 and includes everything above: preparation, five hours of working time with me, lunch, a mood board for one room, your written Intensive Plan, and one round of follow-up questions.
