Discovery

Everything starts with listening.

Step 01

Discovery

The Discovery phase is the most important step in any project. Before a single sketch is drawn, we invest time in genuinely understanding you β€” your lifestyle, your aesthetic preferences, how you use your space, what frustrates you about it now, and what you dream it could be. This phase shapes every decision that follows.

What Happens in This Phase

  • A detailed initial consultation (in-person or virtual)
  • Project brief development β€” scope, timeline, budget
  • Site visit and existing condition survey
  • Lifestyle and preference questionnaire
  • Pinterest / reference imagery review
  • Formal project proposal and fee agreement

Why It Matters

Skipping or rushing the Discovery phase is the single biggest cause of design projects that miss the mark. The brief we build together here becomes the filter through which every design decision is evaluated β€” it keeps the project honest and keeps us aligned.

Phase Details

  • Duration 1–2 weeks
  • Deliverables Project brief document, site survey report, formal proposal
