WORKING BETTER
Marshland Home Design is your go-to independent Design Project Manager here in the Lowcountry I believe in the power of personalized design, and my approach is rooted in understanding the unique vision of each client From the initial concept to final execution, I collaborate closely with the builder, superintendents and subcontractors, as well as the clients, to ensure every detail aligns with the clients' visions and dreams as well as the builder's plans My portfolio showcases a diverse range of styles, from transitional chic to timeless classics, with true southern charm, demonstrating versatility in catering to various tastes and preferences
Customer satisfaction is my top priority I understand that your home is a significant investment, and am dedicated to ensuring that the design process is not only enjoyable but also stress-free
My role begins by understanding the unique preferences and lifestyles of each individual client Through detailed consultations, I assist clients in choosing from an array of options, including materials, fixtures, finishes, and colors My indepth knowledge of the latest design trends and construction materials help clients make informed decisions that align with their vision and budget as well as in-field capabilities

STORYYour
GETTING TO KNOW YOU and dreaming with you
I believe that every home should tell a story for you, and strive to infuse each design with character and charm, making it a true reflection of the people (and furry friends) who will be living within its walls
QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON
What does ‘home’ feel like to you?
When you imagine living in your new home day-today, what moments or aspects matter to you most? What are spaces or details that really say “this is us” ?
How do you want this home to reflect the life you’re living and building now and in the future?
Your
PLACE
I understand the importance of finding the right homesite so that one day you can break ground on the new home of your dreams!
The perfect property shapes every detail of your custom build from sunlit rooms and serene views to private outdoor spaces It’s the foundation for a home designed around your lifestyle, where every corner supports how you live, entertain, and create lasting memories With the right site, your home doesn’t just sit on the land it belongs to it
Equally important is having a design advocate by your side someone who can bridge the communication between you, the builder, and the field team A design advocate ensures your vision remains intact, translating your ideas into actionable plans, guiding choices in materials and finishes and addressing challenges before they impact the build This role keeps the process smooth, reduces misunderstandings, and protects the integrity of the design With the right combination of builder and design advocate, your custom home journey becomes not just manageable, but an inspired collaboration that produces a home uniquely tailored to your life, style, and legacy.
