What types of projects do you take on?

Accepted Answer

My Maker works across art, architecture, landscapes, and consulting for residential, commercial, and community spaces.Projects can range from a focused design question or existing-space improvement to a larger renovation, landscape, or new design. What matters most is that there is an opportunity for thoughtful work and a good fit between the project and the practice.

Question 2

When should I contact My Maker?

Accepted Answer

Whenever you have enough of an idea to begin a conversation.Some projects come to us at the very beginning, while others already have drawings, contractors, existing conditions, or decisions underway. You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.Tell us where you are, and we'll help determine the right place to begin.

Question 3

How are projects priced?

Accepted Answer

Fees are shaped by the type, scope, and needs of each project. Design work is typically proposed as a defined project fee, while consultations and additional support may be offered at an hourly or fixed rate.Before work begins, we'll outline the scope, deliverables, schedule, and fee so you know what to expect.

Question 4

Can I hire My Maker for consulting without a full design project?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Not every project needs another designer—it may simply benefit from another set of thoughtful eyes.My Maker can provide focused guidance on existing plans, site opportunities, planting and materials, habitat, design decisions, visual direction, or questions that arise during construction and implementation.Consulting can be as focused as the project needs.

Question 5

Do you create floor plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My Maker develops scaled floor plans for existing spaces, renovations, additions, and new design work. Depending on the project, these may document existing conditions, explore new layouts, or become part of a larger design and drawing set.

Question 6

Are you a general contractor?

Accepted Answer

No. My Maker is a multidisciplinary design practice. We work alongside contractors and other project professionals and can remain involved during construction to help answer design questions, review changes, and protect the intent of the work.

Question 7

Can My Maker help if questions or changes come up after the design is complete?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Projects continue to evolve long after the drawings are finished. My Maker can return to previous work to review changes, answer design questions, and help adapt the original intent as the project moves forward—even when some time has passed.
