OUR VALUES
adventure
there is so much to explore in this world of ours and you never know what you like best unless you’ve tried something new.
HOW THIS APPLIES TO WHAT WE DO // CUSTOM-ART-EXAMPLE.EXE
we’ll guide you through the process with a sense of fun + camaraderie. we may suggest something on the adventurous side to help you begin to experiment with design in ways that illuminate what’s important to you and build the muscle of understanding your aesthetic likes and dislikes - especially if it’s new to you.
AUTHENTICITY
all trends come back around. life is a weird soup. just give in to that age old advice and DO YOU.
HOW THIS APPLIES TO WHAT WE DO // INTERIOR-DESIGN-EXAMPLE.EXE
it’s important to design for the person you are, not the person you were. often we end up surrounded by furniture, accessories and colors that hold past memories or versions of ourselves that don’t serve us anymore. part of our job is to help guide you on what to keep, what to let go, and how to weave it all together into your space.
support
why else are we on this planet but to support one another? (that’s rhetorical so just keep reading)
HOW THIS APPLIES TO WHAT WE DO // GENERAL-EXAMPLE.EXE
you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others, so we’ll always be respectful of your time and ours. we’re here to make this easy for you - not throw design jargon at you or box you out of the process. we are generous with our knowledge and collaborative in our process no matter how you are working with us.
