Where to Start With Your Home: An Interior Design Consultation
The living room has been bothering you for three years. You’ve saved approximately one thousand photos to a Pinterest board you never look at anymore. You know the space needs work. You have opinions about it – actually, strong ones.
And yet. Nothing has happened. Because you have no idea where to start with your home!
If that sounds familiar, I want you to know something: you’re not indecisive. You’re not too busy. You’re not lacking vision. You’re just missing one thing. A clear starting point with someone who can cut through all of it and tell you exactly what to do.
That’s what my Design Strategy Session – a 2-hour interior design consultation – is for.
Why Busy Professionals Keep Putting Their Homes on Hold
Here’s what I see over and over again. My clients are smart, successful people who make high-stakes decisions at work every day. And then they come home to a room that doesn’t work and they completely freeze.
Part of it is the overwhelm. Where do you even start? Do you paint first or buy furniture first? Is that wall load-bearing? Should you renovate the kitchen before you redo the floors? The questions multiply faster than the answers.
Part of it is the fear of wasting money. You’ve heard enough renovation horror stories to know that making the wrong move early costs you later. So you wait. And the room keeps bothering you.
And part of it, honestly, is that you’re used to outsourcing the things you’re not expert in. You hire a great accountant. A great attorney. A great doctor. But for some reason, the idea of calling a designer feels like a bigger commitment than you’re ready to make right now.
That hesitation makes complete sense. And it’s exactly why I created the Design Strategy Session.
What Two Hours Actually Gets You
A Design Strategy Session is a two-hour, one-on-one working session with me, focused entirely on your project.
Not a sales pitch. Not a vague conversation about inspiration and mood boards. A real, working session where we look at your space, talk through what’s driving you crazy, and I give you clear, expert direction on how to move forward.
By the end of two hours, you’ll know what the priorities are. You’ll understand what order to tackle things. You’ll have specific recommendations you can act on, whether that means booking a larger project with me or taking what you’ve learned and running with it yourself.
That’s it. No long-term commitment required.
Who This Is Really For
Not everyone needs a full-service design engagement right out of the gate. The Design Strategy Session is the right fit if any of these sound like you.
You have one room or one problem that’s been nagging at you, and you want expert direction before you spend a dollar on it.
You’re considering a renovation or larger project and you want to understand the scope, the sequence, and the realistic cost before you commit.
You’ve gotten quotes from contractors and you’re not sure if what they’re proposing actually makes sense.
You want to experience working with me before signing on for a larger project.
You’re a decisive person who just needs the right information to move forward.
In other words, this is for people who are ready to stop thinking about their home and actually do something about it.

What Happens After the Session
Some clients leave a Design Strategy Session and handle things from there. They needed the clarity and the roadmap, and they’ve got it. I provide a detailed recap with a project summary, action items, and clear next steps.
Others realize during the session that what they’re dealing with is bigger than they want to manage alone. And for those clients, the Design Strategy Session becomes a natural first step into a Design Comprehensive project with my team.
Either way, you leave with more than you came in with. A clear picture of your project. A prioritized plan. And no more excuses for putting it off!
