Designing a home is an intimate and personal experience. Julia Cutler believes that trust, open communication and compatibility within the designer-client relationship are essential to a successful project outcome. Julia Cutler begins the design process with an initial consultation with the client. In this meeting, the scope of the project is discussed along with the budget, general schedule, and any specific needs (immediate or long-term) that the client may have. Over the course of several meetings with the client, Julia encourages an open exchange of ideas and information as she works to interpret the client’s functional requirements and aesthetic style. Based upon the information collected from these client meetings, Julia Cutler’s creative vision drives the programming requirements, design choices, and layout decisions, while the overall result is carefully planned to reflect the client’s lifestyle preferences.
