Before we talk

What people ask before booking a consultation.All FAQs
Do I need to prepare anything?+

No. Photos and measurements are handled during the visit. If you have saved images or a Pinterest board, have them handy; it helps, but it isn’t required.

How do I receive my plan?+

We talk it through together before I leave, room by room, so you know exactly what to change, what to keep and where to start. Feel free to take notes as we go.

What does it cost?+

One flat fee, quoted up front before you book. No travel fee within 10 km of my Vancouver studio or mid-Island home base; beyond that, travel is quoted up front too.

Is it worth it for just one room?+

Yes. There’s no minimum project size, and one room is one of the most common reasons people book.

What if I’m outside Vancouver and the Island?+

Book the E-Design Consultation. It’s the same direction, delivered over video, anywhere in Canada.
