Done For You Project Management
As a busy professional juggling work, family, and everything in between, your home should be more than just a place to sleep. It should be a retreat—a sanctuary where you can unwind, de-stress, and recharge after a long day. But how do you create a peaceful, relaxing space when life is full of chaos?
Forget DIY. This is Done For You.
If you’re a busy professional, the last thing you have time for is juggling trades, chasing down timelines, and solving endless design puzzles to bring your dream home to life. That’s where I come in—with a background in project management, I’ve taken the stress out of the design process, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
From the moment you decide to transform your space, I’ll be right there as your eyes, ears, and voice on-site. My job is to keep everything moving smoothly, ensuring a high standard of work while bringing our shared vision of a high-impact, dynamic home to life. No more squeezing in phone calls between meetings or leaving work early to check on progress. It’s all handled!
Now, let’s dive into some of the pain points I know my clients face (and why I focus on project management to take them off your shoulders):
1. Time Constraints
The Issue: Long hours, demanding schedules, and family commitments make it impossible to manage trades, track timelines, or oversee design choices.
My Solution: I’ll take over all those time-draining tasks, keeping your project on track and updated without any need for you to coordinate, chase, or worry. With me as your project manager, you can focus on what matters most to you, knowing your vision is moving forward every day.
2. Decision Overload
The Issue: Designing a home involves making a thousand choices—fabrics, finishes, colour schemes, layouts—and it can be overwhelming when you’re already making decisions all day long.
My Solution: I streamline the decision-making process by curating options that fit your style, needs, and vision, so you’re not drowning in choices. And as a bonus? I’m a big believer in bold, dynamic design, so I’ll bring in suggestions that might push you out of your comfort zone (in a good way) but always reflect your style.
3. Stress of Managing Multiple Trades
The Issue: Coordinating with electricians, painters, carpenters (and ensuring they all work together!) is no small feat.
My Solution: I handle the entire process, from hiring to quality checks, so you don’t have to. I’m there to make sure everyone is on the same page, and everything is done right, keeping your vision intact and the whole experience stress-free for you.
4. Attention to Detail
The Issue: With so much going on, you don’t have time to monitor every little detail, and let’s face it, mistakes can be costly.
My Solution: I’m passionate about detail. Whether it’s finishes, furnishings, or styling, I double-check that every element matches our design vision. This means your space isn’t just nice—it’s exactly what you dreamed of, down to the last accessory.
5. Keeping the Vision Consistent
The Issue: Between tradespeople, timelines, and a hundred little choices, it’s easy for the original vision to get diluted.
My Solution: I keep us grounded in the look and feel we’ve set out to create. I’ll protect that bold, beautiful vision from start to finish, making sure every element reflects your taste, personality, and the unique vibe we’re building.
6. Budget Management
The Issue: Without experience in the industry, overspending or paying for the wrong items is a real risk.
My Solution: I know exactly where to find value and how to keep us on budget. Every penny is spent with purpose, adding to the impact of your dream home without any financial stress or surprises along the way.
