When my client, Audrey, and I decided to work together in the early Fall, we were originally going to work on her bedroom. Then there was a last minute change, she decided she would prefer to work on an unused formal dining room at the top of the stairs of her brand new home, which would be better suited as a ‘chill zone’ for the new mom. Audrey wanted a space to sit and read, relax without a TV with her daughter, throw an impromptu girls’ get-together, etc. I was instantly excited, as I have been given the opportunity lately to design more and more relaxation chambers during this COVID/quarantine moment in our history.
Since this was an E-Design project, everything was discussed through Email and Zoom, using 3D renderings and visual presentations to go through and explain each and every detail of this project. Audrey took measurements with my guidance, and also photographed the room for “before” angles. Through this project, located in Atlanta, I wanted to prove to the client and many others who doubt the possibility of E-Design, that it is in fact, possible. Furthermore, as a mother, I wanted to show how delegating interior design can be helpful for your mental load. Most of what I do, can be done virtually—I can envision a room no matter what. Would I like to experience the space in person? Of course! But with my imagination & expertise, it isn’t very hard to do that from afar. All I need are measurements + photos (maybe a video) to understand the space a little better. (And it’s a lot more cost-effective on the clients’ end!)
