Talie Jane Interiors takes a unique approach to its initial client meetings. The firm refers to the initial Client meeting as a “Discovery Session.”

Like a consultation, the Discovery Session allows Talie Jane to get to know you, your project goal, your tastes and preferences and your budget and timeline.

“The Discovery Session is essential in establishing our relationship with a potential client and understanding their vision,” says Talie Jane. “It forms the basis of our understanding of our Clients and their project and acts as a launching point.”

There are several things Clients can do to prepare for the initial Discovery Session that Talie Jane finds incredibly helpful. Although not necessary, knowing and providing this information allows Talie Jane Interiors to create clear and through proposals, put together the best team suited for the project and generate optimal creative solutions to Client’s design challenges.

Know your scope of work.

Clients should be prepared to discuss the overall scope of work. “This usually includes a tour of the space/spaces to be re-deigned,” says Talie. “It’s fantastic to listen to the ideas and vision our clients have. We hear about design challenges and things that just aren’t working for them, things they like and don’t like, walls they want to remove, concerns about lighting and so much more. We really dive in and get to know how our Clients live within their homes. This allows us to understand if what they are envisioning is truly the best solution. Sometimes it’s not and we offer alternatives.”
