Product Sourcing

One of the most creative & challenging phases of every design project is product sourcing. This is the process of finding, compiling and recommending finishes, fixtures, furniture, art & decor.

The work includes contacting vendors, consulting artists & tradespeople, visiting showrooms, checking on auctions, online research, combing through catalogs, compiling cut sheets, gathering samples & putting together mock-ups. Options are then edited, a design framework is formulated & complementary selections are sourced at multiple price points.

While often overlooked, this is one of the most important & time-consuming phases of a design project that needs to be planned for adequately in the project schedule and budget.
