HOW TO HIRE RALEIGH:

Much like an interior designer, my work as an Exterior Designer is about enhancing livable square footage—extending the architecture of a home into the landscape to create "outdoor rooms" that feel intentional and timeless.

In my experience, areas like a front porch, terrace, or patio extend the architectural lines of a home, enhancing daily enjoyment, year-round curb appeal, and value. Despite this, these spaces are frequently overlooked. When they are intentionally designed, clients often tell me their outdoor area has become their favorite “room” at home.

I specialize in site-specific installations—from sourcing plant material, professional lighting, and furniture to building rustic locust fences, stone-floored arbors, and custom mirrors. Every project is built with authentic hardwoods and natural stone to ensure a unique, one-of-a-kind result for residential, commercial, or hospitality spaces.

PROJECT MINIMUMS:

To maintain the high level of craftsmanship and detail each project deserves, I have established a project minimum of $25,000. This baseline applies to both my year-round design work and my seasonal Christmas division, which provides high-impact holiday transformations for hotels, restaurants, and luxury lobbies.
