Design Fees A relationship between designer and client is the key to a successful project.  To that end, I offer new clients a free one-hour session at the Seattle Design Center to discuss their project, my style and how we might best work together. After that first hour I bill based on an hourly consultation fee, design time fees and a percentage of product cost. I pride myself on finding the highest quality pieces possible within a client’s budget.  It is my commitment to my clients that I will execute their projects in the most time efficient way possible. Please feel free to contact me for more details. Texture We have an emotional response to the way something feels.  Like a blanket from our childhood or a favorite piece of clothing, you want your room to feel comfortable.  Every item, from a chair to a vase, has a specific texture.  Working together we can ensure that the items we select for your space act cohesively. Color Everyone knows the power of having the right color.  But color is more than paint for your walls. It is the way finishes and fabrics play off of each other; the way the paint on the wall changes a piece of art.  Balancing color will give your space the finished look you want. Form Shape. Scale. Balance.  These three elements combine to create the form of a piece.  As each item in your space has it’s own form, so must the whole space work together.  The form of the whole space sets the tone.
