My Foundation
Where we begin.
We help you realize the full potential of your home without overwhelming decision making or mismatched results. You will be expertly guided through a seamless process, tailored to your taste and lifestyle. Engagement with SLATE interior design begins with an initial consultation. This focused 90-minute discovery session is designed to move the project forward efficiently at the discovery stage. Prospective clients receive a foundational outline of the project potential, and an initial proposal framework that describes scope, process, and phased investment. This initiates transparency from the very beginning, providing confidence to make an informed decision to move to the next phase of the journey.
"Joseph is a design arbiter. His unique experience and passion for sourcing unique pieces from around the world and creating an element of surprise in his rooms lends his work a sophisticated global perspective not often found."
- Ariane Nardo, Editor-in-Chief, SHELTER Magazine
