Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

For me, each project is more than just a contract. I am dedicated and fair. I have the lowest completed-project costs in the industry. I do not overcharge or nickel-and-dime my clients. I minimize waste to get the most affordable, high-caliber results.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We will turn your goals, and your complete vision or idea brainstorms, into a work plan. On location, I typically collect photos and measurements, and work with you to consider different styles, colors, materials, and approaches. Once we have a plan, I can get to work with my team. Please reach out for an informal, friendly, interior design consultation. Text with photos and a description, or to schedule a location meeting.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I hold a BFA in film and have worked as a production and set designer for films, theater, music videos, and special events. I am also a painter and sculptor. I understand how things are made and how spaces can be transformed.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

In university I learned to build sets and work with tools as part of my directing major. Since then, I have developed expertise in a variety of modern wall decoration techniques that I can offer to clients.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I am particularly proud of the complete renovation of an 1,100-square-foot 2-bedroom house in Jackson Heights Queens. My team and I undertook extensive repairs on the walls, and we removed a 48-year-old carpet to reveal a beautiful wood floor that needed resurfacing. We replaced the kitchen's discolored wallpaper stunning tiles. The client initially wanted to replace the cabinets, believing they weren't salvageable, but we discovered that they were of excellent quality. We fully repaired, cleaned, and refinished them, which significantly reduced the overall project cost. Another project I worked on was a mansion in Brooklyn. Built in 1887, the house featured six different floors and had been vacant for a long time, leading to a raccoon infestation that caused extensive physical and water damage throughout the property. The client wanted to preserve the original design and color scheme, so my team and I focused on restoring six distinct areas of the house to their original state. The results were truly spectacular, reviving the beauty and charm of this magnificent space.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Hire someone with extensive knowledge of various techniques and materials, as well as quick, affordable, and reliable problem-solving skills. The initial consultation and site visit are invaluable in setting the foundation for the entire project. Avoid purchasing any materials before consulting with your contractor. This save both time and money.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Inquire about different approaches to accomplishing your goal to understand alternative processes and materials. Ask how the contractor can work within your budget to achieve the best results.
