I got my early start creating small holiday windows at Mort's Deli in Pacific Palisades, and have grown my creative ventures since then.
I work with each business to create a comprehensive and unique display for each season or design.
I can work with your budget and find something that works for your specific look, design, and available scenic display space/window.
The design fee depends on the complexity of the display's design and the size of the store's available display area.
The design fee is in addition to the cost of the design items & supplies. The design fee includes the design setup, as well as other base costs. Display items & product prices are subject to change.
Other factors may also play a role in the amount of the design fee, as well as the overall total cost of the display.
The display design process will typically include:
1) Design meeting(s) to discuss the display's look, visits/tours of the display space, discussion of the specific budget
2) Procurement of display items, the building of scenic/design elements, lighting design work, as well as other window design or store display-related activities.
3) Set up of the display.
4) Take down or changing of the display, if seasonal.
Optional: Small Display "Updates" or "Overlays" or minor scenic upgrade service is available if requested. (Additional fee will apply.)
