LOCAL AND VIRTUAL OPTIONS

SOME DECISIONS NEED TO BE SEEN IN PERSON

LOCAL
CONSULTATIONS

Available for clients in Indianapolis, Carmel, Zionsville, and surrounding Central Indiana areas.


Ideal for paint color, materials, furnishings, layout, lighting, and in-room design direction where the space needs to be seen in person.

VIRTUAL
CONSULTATIONS

Available for clients who want expert design guidance from the comfort of home.


Best for reviewing layouts, furniture selections, styling direction, inspiration boards, finishes, and design questions that can be discussed remotely.

The value of Donna's eye, without a full-service project.

After decades of full-service interior design, Donna now works with a smaller number of clients through private consultation.

These sessions are designed for homewoners who do not need a full design firm, but do want seasoned direction before making important decisions.

CLEAR NOTE ON FIT

DONNA IS NO LONGER TAKING EVERY KIND OF PROJECT

Donna's current focus is consultation-based guidance.

She is not currently emphasizing full-service interior design, large renovation management, ground-up

construction, or procurement-heavy projects.
