Design Partnership for Builders

Good design understands it takes many minds and many hands to deliver a vision

H&H is here to partner with you to develop your project and assist in building a strong client relationship with clear expectations. I’ve worked alongside carpenters, tile setters, flooring installers, metalworkers and painters - always earnest, open-minded, and full of gratitude for the work that you do.  I serve as an advocate for the client, but also the builder, to identify the best approach and material; to anticipate next steps and selections in advance; and to ensure that the final vision - the family heirloom, the new sectional, a special work of art - finds its particular home in the finished space.

the benefits of partnership:

  • Productive, generative communication with clients

  • Visual aids such as 3D rendering, space planning, and material sampling

  • Additional tools and tracking to ensure expectations are understood and executed

  • An ally in the effort to meet build and installation schedules - so you can focus on the critical next steps

  • A champion of your work - bringing energy and enthusiasm to guide clients and team through the ups and downs of construction
