HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Our Signature Process

A thoughtful, structured approach that puts your vision at the center —
from the very first conversation through your final reveal.

01

Discovery & Connection

Every project begins with a conversation. We'll talk about your space, your lifestyle, what you love, what isn't working, and what you've always dreamed your home could feel like. This is where I listen — deeply — so that every decision that follows is rooted in you, not a trend or a template.At the end of our discovery meeting, we'll align on scope, timeline, and investment so you feel completely confident moving forward.

02

Concept & Direction

With a deep understanding of your vision, I develop a design concept tailored to your home. This includes a mood and material direction, initial space planning, and a curated palette of finishes, textures, and tones that bring your story to life.

I'll present this concept with color renderings and samples so you can see, feel, and experience the direction before any commitments are made. Your feedback shapes everything.

Design Development

Once the concept direction is confirmed, I begin sourcing — carefully selecting furniture, lighting, textiles, and accessories that honor the natural materials and timeless character we've established together. Every piece is chosen with intention: its quality, scale, and relationship to the whole.

Detailed floor plans, furniture schedules, and finish specifications are developed. Showroom visits may be scheduled so you can experience key pieces firsthand. Final selections are documented and proposals are prepared for your approval.

04

Procurement & Construction

With selections confirmed, the procurement & construction process begins. I manage all ordering, tracking, and coordination with vendors — keeping you informed every step of the way. For renovation projects, I collaborate closely with your contractor and trades to ensure the original design intent is honored from framing to finish.

Items are received, inspected, and warehoused until a coordinated installation date is ready. No detail is overlooked.

Installation  & Reveal 

The finish line — and the most exciting part. Your space is installed, styled, and brought fully to life. I'll add the final layers of texture, art, and accessories that make a house feel like a home: the things that are deeply, unmistakably yours.

After months of thoughtful planning, you'll walk in and see it all come together exactly as we envisioned. This moment is everything.

WHAT SETS US APART

The  SNI Difference

Every project is guided by these core commitments — to you, to your home, and to the craft of design.

Natural Materials First
I source with intention — prioritizing sustainable, natural materials that are built to last and grow more beautiful with time.
Deeply Personal
No two projects are alike. Your story, your lifestyle, and your vision are the foundation of every design decision.
Clear Communication
You'll always know where things stand. I believe in transparency, honest timelines, and a process that feels effortless.
