Process
Kitchens, baths, whole-house rhythm, and the muddy-boot moments in between—documented so the trades know what to build.
Studio
Light, circulation, storage, and how finishes wear matter as much as the palette. We line those up first so the pretty part does not fall apart the first time a dog, a kid, or a dinner party stress-tests the plan.
How we stay involved
Start to keys
Listening, drawing, ordering, and site visits—not just the first presentation.
What trades get
Measured sets
Elevations and specs they can price without a séance.
Between meetings
Portal & Mae
Pin finishes, drop photos, and ask quick questions in one place.
How projects roll
Phased or whole home
One room now, the rest later, without losing the thread.
01
We map how you actually move through the day, then lock the constraints the build has to respect.
Walkthrough
Dog paths, homework piles, shoe dumps, and which sofa arm everyone fights over. Those details steer dimensions and flow long before we talk paint.
Drawings
Elevations, dimensions, and spec callouts written so someone on a ladder at 7 a.m. knows exactly what to install—no guessing from a moodboard crop.
Mae
Early questions and measurements land in one thread so you are not pasting the same photos into three different email chains.
02
Materials, sight lines, and trim details get resolved so the house feels like one idea—not a pile of separate rooms.
Materials
We stack finishes against UV, cleaners, and the traffic patterns you already have. The swatch has to look as good after a thousand vacuum passes as it does on day one.
Layout
Thresholds and views are edited so walking from kitchen to hall to living room feels intentional—even when one phase finishes before the next.
Portal
Pin what you love in one place so we are reacting to the same stone, hardware, and paint—not twelve screenshots named “final_FINAL”.
03
Selections, lead times, and site surprises get the same clear paper trail as the pretty pictures.
Ordering
Line items stay tied to what you approved so no one is guessing which slab or hinge number showed up on the truck.
Site
We are on-site for the small pivots—trim depth, reveal lines, where the sconce lands when the stud layout shifts—so the room still reads the way we drew it.
Start
A scope you can edit until it matches reality becomes the backbone for estimates, orders, and every conversation until keys hand off.
The studio way
Allison stays in the work from first walkthrough to install week—drawings trades can bid on, selections you can find again, and someone on-site when the plan meets a crooked wall.
Listen first
Document clearly
Stay through install
