With a background in Architecture and Engineering, and years exploring various artistic mediums, I balance professional structure with creative flow.

I don’t just paint your wall—I respond deeply to the energy and context of your space, your lifestyle and personality, or for businesses, your unique brand identity and goals. For cities and municipalities, I engage with their vision and community identity to create work that is beautiful, functional, and immersive, reflecting the unique character of the place.

My design process thoughtfully considers aesthetics, constructibility, long-term maintenance, and how people will experience and interact with the space over time.

For me, art is more than decoration—it’s a powerful language communicating feeling, culture, storytelling, and a strong sense of place. My goal is to create meaningful environments that resonate emotionally and bring joy and calm to your everyday.

I break my projects into three phases.

• Initial Consultation
  I visit your space to assess wall conditions and gather inspiration, ensuring the design fits your environment. I want to understand who I am designing for, how you use the space, and what you envision—basically, I want to get to know you :) Based on this meeting, I create a contract for the project to be agreed upon by both parties.

• Design Development (DD)
  I collaborate with you virtually to develop a schematic design and color concept. Whether you have a clear vision or no idea where to start, I’ll guide the creative process from start to finish using tools like Pinterest boards, Zoom calls, color studies, and design options with iterations. Every client is different, and I tailor the process to your unique needs.

• Design Implementation (DI)
  I bring the design to life—this is when I come paint :). I’ll paint on-site for the duration outlined in your contract. During this time, I keep materials and a ladder in your space overnight. I aim to work around your availability and comfort, knowing I’m a guest in your home or business.

Thinking About a Project?
To get a better sense of the scope and process, you can start thinking about these things:

• Size of the Wall: Measure height × width for square footage to estimate painting costs.

• Complexity: Simple graphic or detailed layered? More intricate designs require more time and budget.

• Wall Texture & Condition: Textured surfaces need extra prep; dirty or greasy walls require cleaning before painting.

• Accessibility: Is the wall easy to reach? High or tight spaces may need special equipment or extra setup time.

• Design Readiness: Do you know what you want, or want me to shape the vision from scratch (which I LOVE doing)?

I believe a great working relationship starts with clarity. That’s why I’m upfront about pricing—to make the process smooth, respectful, and collaborative from the start.

Pricing Basics
Most projects range from $5,000–$10,000+, depending on wall size, complexity, condition, and location. I take on a limited number of projects each year to provide focused attention and care. My minimum project fee is $3,000, though I occasionally consider smaller creative ideas on a case-by-case basis.

Initial Consultation Fees
Projects typically begin with a paid on-site consultation that includes a walkthrough, creative conversation, and wall condition assessment (no design work provided yet).

• Residential: $150/hour + $80/hour for travel

• Commercial: $175–$200/hour + $100–$115/hour for travel

If the project moves forward, your consultation fee is credited toward the total.

Design & Painting Fees
Before painting begins, we collaborate on a custom concept tailored to your space. A design development fee applies (which may be reduced if your vision is clear). Painting is priced per square foot between $35–$50/SF, plus a materials percentage fee.

Rates may vary based on complexity, location, or timing. Customized estimates are provided for each project, and rates may adjust over time.

A Little Note on Location
I’m based in Berkeley, and while I love working in the South Bay and southern San Francisco, the daily commute can be intense (hello, Bay Area traffic!).

For projects in those areas, I typically include a nearby Airbnb stay in the project budget instead of charging daily travel time. This is ends up being more affordable for you and lets me spend more time painting—not driving 3–6 hours a day, depending on location.

This approach helps keep projects efficient, allows more focused workdays, and leads to a better experience for everyone.

Not in the Bay Area? I’m happy and available to travel further!

I enjoy collaborating closely with interior designers, architects, and landscape architects to integrate artwork seamlessly within larger design projects. Because I understand the nuances of architectural structure and design processes, I’m comfortable adapting my workflow to fit different project frameworks.

I typically work as a collaborative partner—supporting your vision in a tailored, flexible way—whether as a subcontractor or in a role customized to fit the project’s needs.

If you’re a design professional interested in partnering on a project, please reach out—I’d love to explore how we can create something meaningful together.
