Home Design Evaluation

Let’s figure out what’s working so you can move forward with confidence.

If you’re planning a renovation or thinking about updating your space, and you feel stuck, you’re in the right place.

This evaluation is a working session where we dig into your space, your goals, and your pain points.

I help you figure out what’s possible, what’s worth prioritizing, and how to move forward without second-guessing every decision.
