Our process: From floor plans to a finished project.

Whether you are building a custom home, or remodeling a retail space, there are hundreds of decisions to be made. We are here to make that process easier! Review our process below for details:

  • Three women are engaged in conversation in an office space. One woman in a yellow cardigan and striped shirt is smiling, standing behind a white table. The other two women, one in a bright blue blazer and the other in a black top, are seated and turned towards the standing woman. The background features a bulletin board with fabric samples and design sketches.

    I. Discovery + Budget Phase

    When you engage with Shine, we understand that you are entrusting the design and construction process to us. By listening, brainstorming, and exploring your design style from the beginning, we’re able to successfully steward your priorities throughout the project.

Working with Natalie and the Shine Design team has been life-changing. I have severe allergies and hypersensitivity to both natural processed materials and synthetic materials. In the last year, this has progressed to making daily life around traditional materials a risk to my health and well-being. This led us to Shine to champion the design of our house that integrated hypoallergenic materials from the ground-breaking of the project to the materials of our rugs, furnishings, and everything in between. They researched rugs, flooring, adhesives, and construction to maximize health and wellness and were innovative in the inclusion of hypoallergenic materials.
