Consultations

with Melinda

These consultations are 60 minute video calls with Melinda. This service is for anyone managing and designing their own new build or remodel who is looking for Melinda’s support, advice, and answers to their questions.

Whether you are about to embark on a new design project and want assistance developing a conceptual design direction or you are already into the process of a renovation or furnishings plan and need help with design decisions. 

You can book directly through our calendar link. No prior communication or introduction is required.

If you are local to Santa Fe and are looking for some in-person guidance about where to even begin with a project or you are looking for ideas, Designed in a Day is for you.

Perfect for a living room, bedroom, kitchen or bath, this fast-paced option gives you 3 hours of one-on-one time with Melinda. During this time, you will review your design vision for your room, your design challenges and dreams, and work together with your designer to refine that vision. For those projects that just need a day of design focus, this option gives you time with your designer at your home, or shopping retail stores or showrooms, or both. A checklist arrives soon after, recapping your design decisions and a prescription for success in your project. These spots fill up fast, so book quickly. A limited number of spots are available each quarter.

FAQs

Come prepared! Here are a few ideas to consider:
  • Write out a list of all the questions you’d like to get answered
  • List out any links you’d like to share with your Expert
  • Put together a simple document / slideshow / presentation to walk your Expert through via Zoom’s screen share feature. This document could include photos of your space, pieces of furniture or decor you have your eye on (or already own), mood board images, swatches of materials – anything you like! 

Of course! If you find the one hour helpful but still have questions later on in the project, you can always reach out and schedule an additional consultation. If you find you're needing more help and want ongoing advice on your construction or furnishings project, check out our services page!

While you will not be able to contact or discuss anything directly with Melinda before booking, you will be given the opportunity to write a short note during the booking process explaining what you’d like your consultation to be about. Once your consultation has been booked, you will have the opportunity to fill out a Questionnaire to give Melinda further information such as project location, style preferences, budget details, topics and rooms for discussion. You may also upload files (presentations, images, floor plans etc.) to a google drive to review during your consultation. While these won’t be reviewed by Melinda prior to your consultation, doing so will save time during your consultation. 
We encourage you to gather a list of questions and topics you wish to cover prior to your consultation so that you can maximize your time and get all the answers you need. If you have any follow up questions or run out of time, we encourage you to book another consultation!
