FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard price is 175 an hour for both design and color consultations and 125 an hour for drafting kitchen and bath designs. Online shopping is 100 an hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I set up a consultation and we talk at length about what their vision is for the project, whether its a kitchen design or an exterior color consultation. We cover all the bases at that first meeting and then I start the process of creating preliminary designs for approval. Once we've reached a design that works for the client, I finalize the design and do a draft for permitting if necessary. At every step of the way I make sure the client is happy with everything we've chosen and talked about and leave plenty of room for changing minds or reworking something.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree from Mills College in Oakland, CA, and spent many years learning from some of the best in my field, working as an apprentice or intern. I ran my own painting and contracting company from 1990-1998 and then started Sky City Design + Color as a full service interior design company.
