One email thread
Founder · plans and palettes
Draws every plan and fixes every palette. Six years at a full-service firm before this, which is where the fixed price came from: she watched a living room cost eleven thousand dollars and four months, most of it meetings.
If you send photographs, Nadia is the person who opens them. She answers her own email, usually inside a day, and signs the pack.

Draws best
Small rooms with bad light
Designer · kitchens and open plan
Takes anything with cabinetry in it and writes the schedules the trades quote from. A cabinetmaker once told him it was the clearest brief he had been handed all year, which is now the standard the schedules are held to.
He is also the one who says no to a layout that will not survive a real kitchen: the drawer that cannot open, the island eight inches too wide.

Draws best
Kitchens with awkward services
Sourcing · lists and lead times
Prices every line, checks stock the morning a pack ships, and keeps the supplier lead times honest quarter by quarter. The alternate on each line is hers: a cheaper piece that still works in the plan, not a worse version of the same thing.
She is the reason a sold-out sofa becomes a replacement inside two working days rather than an apology.

Finding the same thing for less
Designer · small rooms and rentals
Takes everything under 120 square feet, which is harder than it sounds: one wrong width and a nursery has no floor left. She draws to the inch and names the two pieces that must be bought first.
Joined after four years designing rental fit-outs, so she knows what a deposit will and will not survive.

Rooms under 120 sq ft
Drafting · plans and elevations
Turns Nadia’s sketches into the drawings that ship: plans at 1:50, elevations for every wall, and the dimension lines nobody notices until one is missing.
She also runs the redraws. If your measurement was wrong, June is the reason the corrected plan comes back the same day rather than the next week.

Who you hear from, and when
Days 1 to 7
Nadia. Your photographs, the questionnaire, the plan and the palette.
Days 6 to 12
Iris. Pricing, stock, alternates and lead times, on the same thread.
Kitchens only
Marcus, from day two. Cabinetry, appliances and the trade quotes.
Small rooms
Sofia, from day one, on anything under 120 square feet.
Every redraw
June, usually the same day the corrected measurement lands.
After the pack
Whoever answers first. All five read the thread; none of them will ask you to repeat yourself.
There is no sixth person, and no account manager at any point. If the studio ever grows one, this page will say so before the price does.
Next intake opens October 14 · 6 rooms left
One room at a time, designed remotely. Send photographs and a few measurements; a scaled plan, a palette and a shopping list come back inside two weeks.
