INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES
CREATING SPACES THAT INSPIRE HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING
Wellness-centered design and architecture have been gaining momentum in the last few years due to the widely accepted fact that our living and workspaces can significantly influence our physical health as well as our emotional state of mind.
The pandemic and the pace and stress of our modern life have contributed to the appeal of environments that connect to our senses and encourage productivity, creativity, and relaxation.
When looking at spaces, I don’t just look at the visual. I take a holistic approach appealing to the senses and think about it from the human context.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 90% of their life indoors, which further exemplifies the need for environments that bring people together and are designed to enable a better lifestyle.

MY PROCESS
1. Discovery Call
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
My process starts with getting to know you, how you’d like to feel and function in the space, and the results you are looking for by working together. We discuss your style, scope, investment, timeline, my process, and fees. This is the phase where you can share your dreams and goals for your environment.
2. Design Consult
UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS AND DREAMS
The consult is an opportunity to learn more about each other. I listen to your goals, ask the right questions, and envision your project from all angles to create an environment that speaks authentically to you, aiming to deliver beyond your expectations. After I am clear on the details of your project, I will put together a proposal that outlines the timeline, budget, and all the ways I will transform your space.
3. Programming
GATHERING OF INFORMATION
I gather all pertinent information, inspiration photos, measurements, and photographs of existing furniture, rugs, and any other items I will use in the final design.
4. Design Development
DEVELOP LOOK, FEEL, AND FUNCTION
This is where I spend most of my time. I dive in and flush out all details. I create layouts, gather samples, and make preliminary ideas for all items in the project scope. I will also be working closely with contractors at this time should it be required for your project.
5. Design Presentation
DRUM ROLL PLEASE
My presentations take several forms, depending on your project requirements – included are design concepts, layouts, mood boards with clickable links, color palette, samples, and estimates. Then, based on your feedback, I make any revisions and set up a meeting to review.
6. Design Finalization
YOU ARE IN LOVE!
Congratulations! You now have an approved design plan. If you decide to order items on your own, I will send you all the details. If you are interested in my procurement services, I will move on to the next phase.
7. Procurement
SOURCING PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
Now it’s time to place orders! I prepare all specifications, quotes, and purchase orders for your approval. I communicate with vendors regarding details, ordering, expediting, quality inspections, coordination, and timely delivery and installation in your space.
8. Installation
THE TRANSFORMATION
This is the moment you have been waiting for! Once all selections have arrived, I schedule a day to confirm that all details are completed. After that, I will style the space, take photos of the transformation, and pop the champagne!
Joy is very easy to work with, and is a joy to work with. She is very thorough, kind, conscientious, tactful and creative. Not pushy. She is just perfect. Her follow up is amazing, photos and list of things that you can do. I would recommend her to anybody who is looking for ideas for their home.
