The practices
How we work
Four ways to begin.
From the whole house, held end to end, to a single room designed remotely — the studio eye at the scale you need.
Full-Service Interior DesignSignature
The whole house, held by one studio — concept, drawings, sourcing, custom pieces, and a styled install.
ForHomeowners doing a whole house or a major room program
From $35,000design fee + procurement
E-Design (Remote Room Plans)
A complete, shoppable room plan you install yourself — the studio eye, anywhere in the country.
ForConfident DIYers & remote clients, one room at a time
$1,850flat fee per room
Renovation & Architectural Interiors
New bones, better light — layout, kitchens, baths, and millwork, with your architect and builder.
ForHomeowners changing the plan, not just the furniture
From $28,000design fee + hourly oversight
Styling & Procurement
The last layer — furnishing, art, textiles, and the styling that makes a room read as collected.
ForHomes that have the bones but not the soul
From $6,500flat fee + furnishings
The process
From first walk to final styling.
Five phases, one studio holding every thread — so the design lands on time and intact.
01
Discovery
Weeks 1–2
A paid discovery session — we walk the home, talk through how you live, set the budget honestly, and agree on scope. You leave with a direction, whether or not we go further.
Studio consultationScope & budget framingA written proposal
02
Concept & Moodboard
Weeks 3–6
We build the design direction — the palette, the materials, the references, and the moodboard. This is where the house finds its voice; we present, you react, we refine.
Concept presentationMaterial & color paletteMoodboards by room
03
Design & Drawings
Weeks 6–14
Space plans, elevations, custom furniture and millwork, lighting and finish schedules. Everything specified, costed, and resolved before a single thing is ordered.
Floor plans & elevationsCustom piece designFull FF&E specification
04
Sourcing & Making
Months 4–8
We procure, commission, and manage the makers and trades — furniture, fabric, stone, art. The studio holds every thread so you don’t have to chase a single one.
Procurement & purchasingMaker & trade managementConstruction-admin oversight
05
Install & Reveal
The final week
We install in a single coordinated push, style the last layer, and reveal the finished home — photography-ready, with nothing left for you to figure out.

From the journal
The studio diary
On materials, method, & the long game.
In Praise of Living Finishes
Why we specify unlacquered brass that will tarnish, plaster that will move, and oak that will scuff — and why our clients learn to love the patina.
The One-Accent Rule
A single thread of oxblood, olive, or terracotta running through a whole house does more than a dozen colors fighting for attention. Here’s how we place it.
Where We Source Vintage in LA
The flea markets, dealers, and estate sales we actually shop — and how to tell a worth-it piece from an expensive mistake.
Where we work
