Design Service — $85/hour
New Construction & Remodel Design
Building a new home or reimagining your existing one? Valerie guides you through every selection — so the finished home tells your story, not the builder's default catalogue.
Building a new home involves hundreds of decisions — floor plans, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, fixtures, hardware, lighting, exterior materials, and more. Most families make these decisions under pressure, without a trained eye, and end up with a home that feels generic. Valerie changes that.
She becomes your advocate throughout the design and selection process — working alongside your builder to ensure every choice reflects how your family actually lives, not what was easiest to stock.
