If you've ever thought about hiring an interior designer but talked yourself out of it — maybe you weren't sure if it was worth the investment, or you didn't know where to start — this post is for you. These are the questions I get asked most, and I'm giving you honest answers.
A lot more than picking pretty pillows. Full-service design means I handle everything — space planning, furniture selection, material and finish specifications, contractor coordination, ordering and tracking, and styling. You bring the wish list, and I do the work of translating it into a real, finished space. My clients hire me because they want a home that feels intentional and cohesive, without spending months making decisions they're not confident in.
For most people, yes — and not just aesthetically. A good designer helps you avoid costly mistakes: the sofa that doesn't fit, the tile you ordered wrong, the layout that never quite works. I've seen clients spend more trying to DIY a space than they would have spent working with me from the start. Beyond saving money, it saves time and the mental load of making hundreds of decisions alone.
It depends on the scope of the project. I offer full-service design for complete rooms or whole homes, as well as kitchen and bath renovation design and cabinetry design. Pricing is structured around the project, not an hourly clock ticking in the background. The best way to get a clear picture is to schedule a discovery call — I'll tell you exactly what's involved and what it costs before anything moves forward.
Yes — and it's a space I'm actively growing into. I've recently taken on commercial projects and I'm especially interested in hospitality and healthcare design on the Gulf Coast. Good commercial design isn't just about aesthetics; it's about how a space functions for the people inside it — patients, guests, staff. That intersection of beauty and purpose is exactly where I do my best work.
Schedule a discovery call. It's a no-pressure conversation where we talk through your project, your goals, and whether we're the right fit for each other. I work with clients in Ocean Springs, Biloxi, Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Long Beach, Hattiesburg, Mobile, and New Orleans.
If you've been sitting on a project and waiting for the right time — this is it.
