Home Improvement Consultation

Home Improvement Consultation

Flexible service tiers for your home: a focused 30-minute consult for one challenge, or a comprehensive consultation with a complete, personalized set of recommendations.

The 30-minute consult is on-demand access to a neurodivergent design professional for an immediate challenge: sensory overwhelm in one room, a lighting problem, a storage system that is not working. The comprehensive consultation begins with a detailed survey and interview, assesses the sensory, environmental, functional, and aesthetic factors shaping your space, and returns a full plan of action.

What is included

  • Personalized assessment of sensory preferences, routines, challenges, and strengths
  • Targeted recommendations for lighting, acoustics, temperature, organization, safety, and regulation
  • Product selections with purchasing links
  • Contractor referrals and budget guidance
  • A personalized design language reflecting your values and sensory preferences
  • A customized social story for clients who benefit from visual communication support

Who this is for

  • DIY homeowners, parents, caregivers, and educators with a specific question (30-minute consult, available anywhere)
  • Clients within a two-hour drive of New York City with complex, whole-home challenges (comprehensive)
  • Anyone who wants professional direction before committing to a larger project

The 30-minute consult is available now, from anywhere, for $250.
