Design is one of my services, but not the first of the steps we will take together as we develop your unique project. That is because with most projects, there is a lot more going on than creating a satisfying design solution.
The first step will be for us to meet. I will listen as you tell me what your needs and dreams are, what is important to you, and what limitations you may have. The research and analysis done during this initial phase will help you to establish what architects call a “program”. It is simply the decision-making process that defines the realistic scope of your project according to your goals.
Too often this step is overlooked. But the investment of time and energy into your program becomes a big benefit as our guide through all the remaining steps that lead to a happy conclusion.
