INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES

OUR PROCESS

Our design process outlines the required work, which gives the project focus, clarity, and defined goals. 

As your design partner, Studio Mishka takes your project from conceptual design thinking to schematic design planning, resulting in a clear scope and a defined direction. Design presentations and initial renderings assist in visualizing the end result. Team collaboration brings all parties to the table for solid decision-making and final selections, completing the design development phase. We are responsible for assembling a comprehensive set of drawings and an interior design manual that graphically illustrates and communicates the project in full detail facilitating an efficient workflow and optimizing productivity for contractors, subs and trades. Studio Mishka is fully invested in the outcome and success of your project and will be with you through to the end of construction.

INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR FURNITURE,
FURNISHINGS, AND EQUIPMENT (FF&E)

About Our Process

Studio Mishka is not a purchasing agent and does not resell goods. We source, select, and specify all FF&E parts of the project. Working closely with manufacturers and distributors, we choose appropriate FF&E that meets your budget, timeline, and functional requirements.

Once the selection process is complete, the Procurement Phase begins.  We organize the project information and forward all FF&E specifications to a trusted third-party purchasing firm that will orchestrate all aspects of procurement on your behalf, from purchasing and shipping to warehousing and installation services.  Studio Mishka will oversee the entire procurement process through to installation.
