Design Philosophy/Mission
My philosophy is simple - to create an environment that is a true reflection of my client.
To achieve this, it is essential during the client interview to observe and listen attentively to get a sense of the client, their style and their expectations of the designer, as well as, the project. The client's requests, carefully assessed, assist in providing a functional yet beautiful and innovative design.
A frequent misconception many people have is that a designer will inflict their design aesthetic on them. I enjoy a collaborative approach with my clients. I find this is the best way to insure the environment created satisfies their needs and reflects their personality.
Careful planning, patience, client involvement and adherence to budget will produce beautiful results and a satisfying experience for the most discriminating client.
