OUR PROCESS

We have honed our process to provide you with design solutions that not only meet but exceed your expectations. Inspired by our founder’s Olympic career, we refer to it as the “Get GOLD” framework, a four-phase thought-process that ensures your visions are skillfully brought to life with consistently top-notch quality. At each step of our design process, we cycle through our GOLD framework, ensuring that robust thoughtfulness, creativity and thoroughness is woven into every deliverable.

  • Gather

    To kick-start each project, we immerse ourselves in understanding your unique story, design goals, and the space itself. This thoughtful and thorough gathering gives us the best materials possible to embark on your design journey.

    At this stage, our expertise and industry relationships come into play. We leverage our knowledge and connections to start turning your novel aspirations into tangible creative milestones. Our team nurtures and refines our ideas while specifying the perfect materials, fixtures and furnishings that will bring the vision from concept to reality.

  • Deliver

    The final step involves bringing it all to life with the utmost precision. What we deliver are home interiors that warm hearts and ignite minds – spaces where your loved ones can come together and thrive.

    Our commitment to the Get GOLD framework reflects our dedication to consistently providing exceptional design solutions that go beyond meeting your needs but also enrich your life.
