Our Design Process

As your interior designer, my primary job is listening. That's where the real transformation begins.
Before any design plans, mood boards, or color schemes are drawn up, I take the time to get to know you. We work together to clarify your priorities and vision, and offer insights to maximize sustainability in a no-pressure, judgement-free atmosphere.
In the end, your home's architecture, natural surroundings, and family inspire the final design. Because I believe the best homes (and, frankly, the best people) are a little quirky. Your home should reflect your uniqueness!
"In addition to her 'green' knowledge, Kirsten brought a lovely and professional personality to the process. She was friendly, flexible, full of good ideas, a good listener, honest, and good at discerning what my husband and I would like for our decor."
Cate N., Family home remodel, Los Altos

2. Interior design and decoration services
Are you tired of living with purchases that never quite worked, other people's hand-me-downs, and furnishings from grad school? Our design and decor services provide a transformation without a construction overhaul.
We'll create a unified design plan that supports your life and your values. That might be a cohesive color palette, updated fixtures, reimagining of your heirloom furniture, or custom built-ins to add architectural interest and corral the clutter. With a vetted network of contractors, craftmasters and trade-only sources, you get quality professional results you can't get on your own.
We're here to design the space you deserve: thoughtfully curated with quality furniture, exceptional materials, expertly crafted, and built to last.
"Her execution was impeccable."
Simone Y., Modern ADU, Stanford, CA


3. One-day consultations
Love the idea of tackling your home's redesign on your own, but also want a design pro's help to get started? When you book a 2-hour interior design consultation, I'll visit your home (in person or virtually) and help you with the design process.
I'll ask questions, provide feedback and ideas, and answer any questions you have about what's possible. We will look at inspiration together, and then pivot to looking at products and solutions.
Then, within 3 business days, We will send a custom document with my professional insights, which includes visual inspiration and recommendations for each space.
You'll walk away empowered and ready to communicate with your contractor or tackle next steps on your own.
"She is very kind and patient, and did a great job of helping us think through function as well as aesthetics."
