My Design Process
Good design doesn't happen by accident. My methodical process is designed to bring your personal style from concept to reality as smoothly as possible.
Phase 1.
Project Commencement
We meet with you to define the scope of work, investment, and design goals. This ensures our expectations are aligned, creating a strong foundation for the project. Inspirational images are shared and discussed in detail, culminating in a signed agreement and the official start of your project.
Phase 2.
Design Development
The design vision takes shape through site evaluations, mood boards, and detailed plans. Inspirational elements are finalized, and materials, furnishings, and floor plans are meticulously sourced and refined. Your feedback guides revisions, ensuring every detail aligns with the project's intent.
Phase 3.
Project Fulfillment
The vision comes to life through product procurement, construction, and styling. Custom elements are installed and finishing touches are applied before your project’s big reveal. The process concludes with final inspections, ensuring every detail has been thoughtfully curated to transform your home into a breathtaking retreat that rejuvenates, inspires, and feels uniquely yours.
With an empathy-forward approach, you'll never have to choose between beauty and function.

We're thrilled to say that the Airbnb has remained fully booked for months since she left! If you're looking to take your Airbnb to the next level and really stand out from the pack, we wholeheartedly recommend hiring Virginia. She's trustworthy, creative, organized, and reliable."

Interior Design FAQs
How do I know if I need an interior designer?
Turning your home into your personal sanctuary sounds simple- until you're neck deep in paint swatches and home decor magazines, wondering how it all ties together. If you're seeking to transform your space into one that seamlessly combines style, functionality, and comfort but feel overwhelmed by the details, an interior designer can help. Design is a time-consuming process, and for busy professionals or families, tackling the research, logistics, and creative vision alone can feel impossible. Whether you're starting fresh, updating a dated home, or integrating new furnishings, we handle the research, logistics, and creative vision to bring your dream home to life.
Can I hire you if I'm already working with a contractor?
Absolutely! I collaborate with contractors and other trades people to ensure a seamless, cohesive experience for construction projects of any scale. My role is to act as the design leader and your personal ambassador to ensure our mutually agreed upon design direction is brought to life.
Do you consider projects outside the Charlotte/Lake Norman area?
Yes, I'm happy to travel to my clients and would love to chat with you about your needs. Schedule a complimentary discovery call to find out more.
Do you have a signature design style you stick with?
I prioritize an empathetic approach to each design project - ensuring your own signature style shines through. I'm a versatile designer, able to tap into any aesthetic, from eclectic maximalism to soft minimalism and everything in between. The common thread is curating interiors that are not only stunning, but also livable, transforming my clients' homes into their personal oases.
