Begin Your Design Journey
Curated, stunning, lived-in retreats rooted in your unique, one-of-a-kind style.
This studio is not for everyone, and that's ok.
If you’ve made it this far, you’re likely someone who knows their style, refuses to let their home fade into the background, and is looking for a design partner who can carry a clear vision from start to finish.
You're not just looking for quick fixes, trend-chasing, or a designer to simply “pick things out.” You value intentional design, personal expression, and a clearly led process from concept to completion.
If this is you, you’re more than ready to fill out the form below — and we’re more than ready to meet you.
And if you have more questions, they are most likely answered right below this form.
Authentic Responses to Your Biggest Questions
Five of the most important design questions to ask
How much should I expect to invest?
Not every project needs to be a $500K renovation to feel fully realized and deeply personal.
Here in Philadelphia, we work with realistic budgets (~$30k to ~$250k) — mixing high-end investment pieces with smart, considered mid-tier choices. The vision is carried through with clarity and intention, whether that’s a focused transformation or a full-scale renovation.
What matters isn’t how much you spend.
It’s spending well.
For the design service fees, you can typically expect to invest ~20% of the overall project, but this doesn't fully translate to larger, whole-home projects. We have developed our own flat-fee model that factors in the overall budget, estimated hours, and square footage.
How much time could this realistically take?
We work with a lot of busy professionals, and our process is designed to save you time — not consume it.
We get aligned quickly up front, then we lead the process — narrowing options, coordinating with trades, and handling the details that tend to stall projects.
Most focused projects take ~3 months, often with custom elements involved. Larger, whole-home projects typically take closer to ~6 months, depending on scope, construction complexity, and lead times.
You’ll be involved at key decision points, but not buried in choices. The goal is momentum and clarity — without this becoming another full-time job.
Do you source everything for me, or do I need to shop on my own?
We handle sourcing from start to finish.
That means curating furniture, lighting, finishes, and custom pieces that align with the overall vision — while factoring in lead times, durability, and budget. We don’t overwhelm you with endless options. Instead, we present thoughtful, edited selections so decisions are clear and efficient. The only exception is art because of how deeply personal it can be. A collaborative approach is optimal.
You can always be part of the decision-making, but you’re not left hunting for products or second-guessing purchases. The goal is a cohesive home, not a collection of disconnected pieces.
How involved do I need to be throughout the process?
As involved as you’d like to be.
Some clients prefer a highly collaborative process, while others trust us to take the lead and enjoy being surprised. Both approaches work, and neither is right or wrong.
Early on, we establish your preferred level of involvement through our onboarding questionnaire, so expectations are clear from the start. From there, we tailor the process accordingly — guiding the details behind the scenes while bringing you in at key decision points aligned with your comfort level.
The result is a design experience that feels personal, intentional, and well-managed — whether you want to be deeply involved or confidently hands-off.
Do you work with existing furniture or sentimental pieces?
Yes — and when used intentionally, those pieces often help anchor the design.
The most successful projects typically begin with a mostly blank canvas, layered with a few sentimental or meaningful pieces that genuinely matter to you. This allows us to build a cohesive vision while still preserving the elements that make your home feel distinctly yours.
Incorporating meaningful pieces isn’t an afterthought — it’s a deliberate part of our process. It ensures the final design feels personal and authentic, not generic or imposed. The result is a space that reflects your story, elevated through thoughtful design rather than shaped by a designer’s signature style.
