Tell me about the place.

Where it sits, how you want it to feel, and whatever you’re stuck on — that’s where every home I’ve worked on started.

Send me a note

There’s no wrong way to start this. A few lines is plenty — where your land is, roughly what you’re imagining, and anything you’re already stuck on. If you’d rather just call, my number is over on the right.

The feeling you’re after, the rooms you care most about, or the one decision you can’t settle.

If you’ve been collecting images, send them. It’s the fastest way for me to see what you’re drawn to.

What you send comes straight to me. I don’t share it, and I won’t add you to any list.

Call or write, whichever suits you. If I’m on a job site I’ll be slower, but I do get back to everyone.

What happens next

  • I read it myself. Not an assistant, not a form robot — me.
  • We talk, on the phone or here at the studio. Mostly I want to hear about the place and what you want it to feel like. Nothing is owed either way.
  • If it looks like a fit, we walk the showroom and pull preliminary selections, so you see real numbers before you’re committed to anything.

Who I can help

Almost everything I do is part of a Ceci Bates build, so the honest answer depends a little on where you are.

If you’re building with Ceci Bates, or thinking about it, I’m already part of that — you don’t hire me separately. I’d love to be in the conversation early, while the plans are still moving; that’s when I’m most useful. Here’s how our team works.

If you’re considering a custom home and haven’t settled on who’s building it, write anyway. I’m glad to talk through what the design side actually involves and what the process looks like from the first conversation to the last walkthrough.

And if we’ve already built your home, you’re not off my list. I still help past clients with the things that come up once everyone has moved in.

The honest limit: I don’t take on general remodeling or standalone decorating work. It’s less a policy than a practical thing — the build work keeps me full, and I’d rather say so plainly than take something on and not give it what it needs.
