The brief is the most important part of your the commissioning journey, where we learn exactly what you want. With a phone call or visit we discuss your ideas, budget and timescale. I welcome your own ideas and see this as chance to create a collaborative working relationship. I carefully digest the information we’ve discussed and prepare an estimated quote. Finally we agree on our shared vision for the project before getting stuck in.

Once we’ve agreed a plan of action I will go away to the studio and create a range of initial ideas to share with you. This will be in the form of sketches and mood boards. We will discuss the proposed concepts and help you select a single design direction. I then head back to the studio to refine and detail the chosen design. Using a range of design tools I will communicate the final concept, giving you the clarity to sign the design off. Upon sign off I request a 50% deposit to schedule your piece into the workshop and purchase materials.

When I receive the green light I get cracking on bringing the design to life. I will produce a production schedule and confirm the lead times with you. I source the materials and start the production process, at this stage I welcome clients to visit the workshop to see progress. I will be in touch to discuss any design decisions that need resolving and send you images of the piece taking shape if you can’t make a visit.

Upon completion and at a suitable time for you, I will hand deliver the piece to you. Where I will carefully install the furniture and give you advice on after-care and maintenance. Lead times will vary depending on the complexity of the piece, however this will be confirmed during the briefing and design phases.
