90-minute Zoom with both Mary Kathryn and Amy, plus a written action plan delivered within 1 business day

Feeling stuck? Not sure where to begin? Sometimes you just need a design brain to help sort the chaos, make confident decisions, and move forward with clarity. That’s exactly what this session is for.

In this 90-minute Zoom consultation, we’ll talk through your space, style, and goals, and help you create a realistic, actionable roadmap for what’s next. Your session is led by both Mary Kathryn and Amy (MKW Design’s Project & Design Manager), giving you two expert brains on your space. This lets us divide and conquer in real time — whether that means pulling live sourcing links, drafting quick floor plan tweaks, or refining your style direction while talking through layout or flow. It's an efficient, high-impact working session, not just a casual consult. Whether you want to DIY, work with us further, or simply gain confidence in your direction, this session gives you expert guidance and momentum to move forward.

What we can cover

Depending on your goals, here’s what we might explore during your session:

  • Smart layout ideas for how to arrange your space

  • What to invest in now, and what you can hold off on

  • Where to shop for pieces that suit your style and budget

  • Style or color palette direction

  • Top 3 next steps, prioritized clearly so you know what to do first

What you’ll walk away with

You’ll receive a personalized, written Action Plan outlining your top priorities, a clear list of next steps, and specific recommendations tailored to your space, whether you're tackling it on your own or with continued support from us.

Preparing for your session…

To get the most from our time together, please send the following materials at least 24 hours before your scheduled session (all in a single email):

  • 5–10 daytime photos of your space (natural light, blinds open, lights off; horizontal orientation preferred)

  • 1 short video walking us through the space and talking through what’s working, what isn’t, and what you’re hoping to change

  • A list of the top 3 things you hope to leave our call with

  • OPTIONAL: Feel free to include inspiration images, Pinterest boards, or notes on your style

Mary Kathryn and Amy will both review your materials in advance so we’re ready to dive right in, with live feedback, smart strategy, and a clear, actionable plan — no fluff, no wasted time. Once we receive your prep materials and payment, we’ll confirm everything’s ready to go.
