Design with
intent
There are countless ways to approach a design project
A space that fluently communicates its intent is derived from a layering of thoughtfully considered elements. It is with this approach, along with a highly trained eye for detail and a natural curiosity, that we create spaces that reflect our client’s aspirations.

OurApproach
We prioritize your needs and wants while gracefully and strategically blending beauty and function. We provide each client with unwavering guidance and leadership, ensuring you’re never left wondering where your project stands. Our design process sets a singular goal of creating spaces that allow our clients to live and work well in their homes and workplaces. We approach each project with a tailored strategy to best serve the individual client. From flatware and door handle selection, to a grand-scale remodel years in the making, Vela is ready to tackle it all.
01
Meet + Strategize
Let's talk goals, budget and overall scope of the project. These conversations are crucial to the design development phase. Along with your overarching vision, let's uncover some key elements you may not have even realized you were missing and help us curate your proposal.
02
Procure + Design
Here is where the design starts to take shape. Our designers create a mood board to guide concept development, space planning, finish and furniture selections and give those initial conversations a pulse. It's in this phase where we interpret your objective and develop its essence.
03
Deliver + Finalize
And finally, the design comes to fruition. While our team coordinates the nitty gritty, you can rest assured knowing we're well on our way to a completed project through clear communication and a hands on design approach. Final installation happens when you're away so that you can have your big reveal moment.
