Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Here's a list of frequently asked questions and quick answers to the topics you might be curious about.
You have different question?
More than happy to answer any other questions you may have.
What services and skills do you offer?
The primary focus of my work comes in three categories: 1) inner inquiry, 2) design, and 3) execution.
For inner inquiry: I lean heavily on my experience with EFT and IFS therapy, my Buddhist meditation practice, and understanding of ego developmental frameworks (such as the Enneagram).
For design: I have spent many years as a product designer and am deeply steeped in interior design, energy flow of a space, and a keen eye for detail.
For execution: I learn as I go but have amassed a lot of experience with planning/costing, carpentry/framing, plumbing, electrical, tiling, flooring, drywall, paint and cleanup. Most importantly: I know when I don't know something well enough to deliver on the vision and bring in outside experts when needed.

How does the process begin?
Just reach out to me and we'll have an introductory call via Zoom or phone. I'd like to learn about your story, understand what's meaningful to you and if you have any ideas/inspiration for how you'd like to see that infused into your space.
How long will it take to complete my project?
I've done work that's taken a few hours and I've projects that have spanned many months, it all just depends on the scope and needs. I know projects in the home can be quite disruptive, so I strive to create a clear timeline and minimize the number of days I'm in your space (particlarly when making loud noises).
Depending on your availability, expect a minimum of 2 meetings for inner inquiry, 2 meetings for design, and 1 full day for execution.

Whether you're starting a new project or enhancing an existing one, our team is here to guide you through every step, ensuring innovative solutions and exceptional results.
Do you work with specific contractors or suppliers?
I'm willing to work with whomever is appropriate for the job. I've managed big, $1M+ construction projects with numerous subcontractors and also done projects where I'm the only one who touches anything.
Do you carry out remote projects?
I'm based in Marin Country CA but am available to travel for specific projects and people I resonate with.
What is the payment process?
I'm offering this work using the Buddhist principles of Dana. This means I provide a budget and expect clients to cover the full cost of the materials (up to the agreed-upon budget) but all of my labor is freely given. If you'd like to offer compensation, I will accept it with a full heart. If you prefer to offer a meal or a skill or just a hug, I'll accept that as well! Yes, I know this is a strange way of working, but this is how I want to spend my time and energy right now.
Do I need to hire an architect (or GC) for my project?
Nope! For smaller projects, I'll handle everything. If you have a more intensive project and need specific expertise, I'll find the approprate subject matter expert and bring them into the project. Unfortunately, they likely won't be working withohut the expectation of compensation, so those experts will be part of the budget.
