Artist Eye Designs

A typical design project starts with a consultation with the client to determine these things...what the client is wanting to accomplish, what the client's general likes and dislikes are, what the space parameters are, what the anticipated budget will be, and how the client and designer interact with each other.  If there is a good feeling of working together and the client wishes to proceed, I and the client decide on the best method of charge for the project's design fees.  An agreement is drawn up that defines the job and the method of payment. I prepare a space plan to determine what works within the space and client wishes. Then based on the defined product needs of the project, I develop a budget guidance sheet to set a range that I think we will need to plan on for the purchases.  If construction is needed for a remodeling project, I can bring in a contractor to provide for any structural changes.  Likewise with cabinetry, plumbing and electrical needs.  Once the range of anticipated costs are defined and acceptable to the client, the actual selection process begins.  I prepare proposals and present to the client which they sign and provide the deposit to begin the ordering. I schedule and oversee any construction or installations that I provide.  Furniture items may be delivered as they arrive or held in storage and delivered at once, depending on the circumstances.  Once in place, accessorizing can be done to complete the project and the clients begin enjoying the home...and recommending me to all their friends!
