Meredith Guida puts her clients at ease from the first consultation meeting. Jobs usually begin with a design phase that includes spatial planning, setting a timeline, discussing an overall design aesthetic and establishing a budget. From there, Meredith thoroughly guides clients into the project management phase and helps them choose items such as paint colors, textiles, furniture, lighting, window treatments and accessories. Every design job always culminates with the installation phase that Meredith admits is her favorite part.
