I knew our house needed updating but I didn't know how to achieve it or where to begin. Mel was able to quickly identify opportunities for making big improvements within our budget. She understood our special issues and helped us understand them too. Before the consultation I felt so overwhelmed and hopeless. After the consultation I now feel excited and hopeful that we can achieve a style that fits our desires and our budget. It was such a relief, and exciting, too!
"Mel was so insightful, so thoughtful, and so informative."
I want you to stop feeling overwhelmed with that big home project, and instead feel confident, empowered, and ready to make it happen.
I'm going to listen to what you want, make sure you have everything you need, and then? I'll show you how to get it done, too.

You may need a local designer or architect instead!
you're doing a first renovation in a house built before 1970
you're adding or moving a kitchen or bath to a new location in your home
you want to add extensive built-ins or custom cabinetry and furniture pieces
you're designing an addition from scratch or removing walls to combine rooms
you need to make changes to the structure, walls or foundation
You're updating a recently built or flipped house
you're MAKING KITCHEN OR BATH UPDATES USING THE EXISTING WALL & PLUMBING LOCATIONS
you want to create a space using stock furniture or cabinetry
you're re-thinking the use of a space keeping the existing walls, doors & windows
you need to update furniture, cabinetry, finishes and fixtures
Then make sure the decisions you're making now are not ones you'll regret in a year - make sure your hard earned investment stands the test of time by getting the help you need now.
And who knows, you might end up with a home you love - forever.
Wouldn't that be a thing?
You want to fall in love with your house again, right?

I acknowledge my privilege as a white cis-het woman and pledge to be an ally, as I am able, to those in my community and the world. I understand that I have a great deal to both learn and un-learn. I believe that everyone has an equal right to getting thoughtful design help for their home. This right is regardless of age, gender, biological sex, skin color, heritage, nation of birth, or religious affiliation.
What's your policy on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion?
Yes. E-Design is a great way to get your project started, or to select the final materials and colors to finish your project. I work on projects from coast to coast in the US - and Canada, too! So even if your project is local, the E-Design process is a great way to get the thoughtful design help you need in a quick and affordable way.
Do you only offer online design services?
Absolutely not! Aside from your investment in design services, the rest of the budget is entirely up to you. So no matter if you want to DIY and save for another project, or if this is your forever home and you're going to go all out, you can expect the same level of service. I will help you understand the realistic costs of your project, and help you understand the trade-offs, too.
Is there a minimum budget?
Yes, because I understand that you are an individual with individual tastes! Also, when you work with me, you can have pieces from any and everywhere - not just a specific group of stores or a tiny group of pre-approved vendors. And since I don't receive commission on materials or furnishings, you can trust that what I propose is what I think you'll love, and not what I make the most profit on.
Will you work with any style?
