Creating personalized spaces rooted in story and intentionality. Design with the future in mind.

10/21/2026

In this multi-generational residential project, the client requested a design aesthetic that blended her cultural heritage with modern influences. Jamie incorporated clean, contemporary lines from notable brands like Pottery Barn and West Elm with Asian influences and treasured heirlooms telling her client’s story.

Among many innovations, Jamie thoughtfully designed a separate spice kitchen for the family in the garage—a traditional space in Indian culture, designated for cooking aromatic dishes like butter chicken and tikka masala.

The original kitchen remained a gathering hub, creating a welcoming, harmonious space for all generations in the household. We carried the renovation into the entryway, guest bedroom, hallway bathroom, living area, and dining space.

One of the most popular questions I get asked is... How long does a design project typically take?

The short answer:
3 months to 2-3 years, depending on scope. (And yes, always expect it to take a bit longer than planned!)

These are averages - every project is unique, and timelines are never guaranteed!

Full-house remodel: 1-2 years
Kitchen renovation: 6-9 months
Primary bathroom: Up to 6 months

I work intentionally and thoughtfully, not rushed so know that this timeline is different than flipping or DIY projects.

I’ve been experimenting with Ai, simply to see the tools clients are able to access, before and after contacting me.

I can see the allure of designing your space without a professional. I can also discern the false expectations it creates. We cannot pretend a renovation happens in one hour episodes. Same goes for prompts.

Hiring a qualified interior designer ensures your project is completed. We oversee contractors and track ordered items. Place furniture, hang art, and do a final walkthrough to fix any remaining issues.

Construction installation is for implementing the design. Paired with accurate technical plans developed during the construction documentation phase.

Full-service interior design requires a level of project management that can easily go unnoticed. Drafting blueprints, precise technical drawings for builders and contractors. Peep the original by hand. 👀

Finalizing design choices, reviewing technical drawings, site visits with trades, and deliverables for sign off.

Paired with order details—schedules are created for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E). We have a finish meeting in person, on-site, to confirm product selections together. Alignment and planning.

Construction documentation is for drafting technical plans. In my opinion, the most critical phase of Interior Design.

The Art of Watercolor - Inspired by Nature 🌲🥾

I always love throwing in a 2d watercolor elevation set.

Formally trained in AutoCAD, I’ve embraced Chief Architect in more recent years for quick home remodeling drawings.

A perfect backdrop for indoor plants, ceramics, fresh flowers, and food to layer in. More to share on this project.

Once we’re in contract, meaning we’ve agreed to work together, documents are signed and deposit received. Discussing payment structure and schedule is key.

We move intentionally to finalize choices. Reviewing detailed layouts and product selections together. There will be a walk-through with the GC. Alignment and planning.

Design development is for refinement. Selecting materials- specific finishes, tiles, fabric, and paint colors. Ultimately, nothing happens without client approval.

After the initial design consultation, we begin scheming and space planning. Creating early floor plans and furniture layout options. Of course, we pinpoint electrical too.

Talking through your existing electrical, utilizing as-built plans, to identify what’s working and what can be improved. Ensuring we stay in budget.

Schematic design phase is for concept and layout. Building mood boards with color, lighting, and style ideas.

When we meet virtually to create a plan for your project, I ask a million questions, not really but it can feel like it. Truly it’s a strategic questionnaire to understand the space.

Before jumping into design-only, we define goals and discover your needs, lifestyle, and budget. I always suggest the decision-makers to be present.

Programming design phase is for discovery and research. A conversation to get to know each other and pinpoint the overall direction for your project.
