the process.
Whether you're planning to build your custom dream home, renovate your kitchen or expand your business, I'll help you bring your design ideas to life.
After our initial discussion, we'll walk through a three-step design process together.
STEP 1
exploration
I'll come to your home and - over coffee- take the time to learn about your ideas and goals.
I ask a lot of questions, but it helps paint a clear picture about what you want and your expectations.
By meeting in person, I'll also get a better sense of your personality, lifestyle and design taste while you'll have the chance to express your ideas and get to know me better, too.
STEP 2
concept design plan
Once we see that we're a design match, I'll get to work measuring the space, drawing it properly and completing a preliminary design in graphic format. Then we'll review and discuss it together.
Then, we'll get down to the nitty gritty: we talk structure and what's possible and not possible with a diagram in front of us to complete a formal design plan. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I don't push an agenda and instead provide guidance and feedback.
STEP 3
submit final plans
Ready for it to get real? Once you approve the final plans, I'll do the permit drawings and specification services which complies with provincial and municipal codes and bylaws for building-permit approval. These technical plans then get handed over to the contractor to start the build.
