The Process

1.

Consult

We meet for about 20-30 minutes over video call to discuss ideas for your project. You may come to the conversation with vague thoughts or a very specific vision in mind. Either way is great!

​

We’ll also discuss budget, timeline, event/occasion, and any other relevant details.

Sourcing

2.

We find the perfect item to be painted. You may already have a piece of your own in mind from home--

 

Other options include shopping, working with a custom designer or tailor, or selecting a piece from my inventory of secondhand and vintage items.

Design

3.

I create anywhere between 1-4 sketches of design options for you to choose from. This usually involves me drawing on a printed image of your item so you can have an idea of what it will look like with the painted design on it.

 

You may approve an inital design as-is... or we continue the process of editing until you love every detail!

4.

Painting

I paint your piece entirely by hand in my home studio, using techniques and materials that ensure a lasting, durable heirloom item.

​

You will receive regular picture updates of progress. At every step, you'll have the opportunity to share your thoughts and request any changes you want along the way. We're not finished until it perfectly matches your dream vision!

Final Piece

5.

You get to show up to your occasion with an outfit or gift that is meaningful, personal, creative, and truly can't be repeated!
