Professional Design Consulting
I am available to consult on all aspects of interiors work. The general service offerings are listed below; please contact me with your specific needs. I am located in Pelham, Massachusetts, in the Pioneer Valley, next to Amherst.
Design Elements Consulting
If you google the phrase “Design Elements,” one of the first thing that comes up is a list: Color, Line, Shape, Texture, Space, Form, Unity/Harmony, Balance. There can be other components, including rhythm, scale and more! They comprise a successful design of any scale. Sometimes a client may need an upgrade of one aspect of their interior: a new or recovered sofa, a new paint color (for one or many rooms), a new arrangement of existing furnishings, and so forth. I am happy to help!
Inspiration comes in many forms, including from clients themselves, from travel to historic homes, art, etc.

Client-Focused Collaboration – Renovation and Remodeling
Bring me in at the beginning of your small or large project to work with you and your architect and builder!
Small Projects:
Regardless of room size, I work with clients to transform any outdated interior into a space that is not only eye catching, but also reflects their current lifestyle. Specifics can include selection of all interior furnishings and finishes, window treatments, decorative lighting, and any specialty art or other design and decorative accessories.
Collaboration with clients includes sensitivity to budget concerns, inclusion of heirloom pieces that the clients may want as part of their new design, and the maintenance of visual flow from their newly designed space to other areas of their home.

Large Projects:
I consult with my clients’ architect, builder, kitchen and/or lighting designer; in bringing me in at the beginning of the planning for a new home or large renovation project, I collaborate with clients to select finishes, materials, cabinetry, hardware, furnishings and window treatments, based on budget and any other considerations. I work with sub-contractors to make sure that the designs and details we worked together on, become a reality!

Project Management:
Process is part of any project, no matter how large or small. I have long experience both in my career in IT, as well as on interiors projects, of establishing and meeting deadlines, coordinating product and process schedules, as well as the selection, fabrication and timely delivery of design components (furniture, window treatments and so forth). I collaborate closely and communicate clearly with showrooms, workrooms, builders, subcontractors and artisans to bring out the best in what they do and support their creativity, to create the best results for my clients!
