F.A.Q.'s
- 01
Let’s cut to the chase, this wasn’t always my career field…
I have bachelors in communication and psychology and a masters degree in Human Relations with an emphasis in diversity and development. Long story, short I am the ideal fit for the corporate world. And for 10 years I worked in HR and business development in a few different sectors. The problem - I had an insatiable itch for higher levels of creativity and desperately wanted to build something on my own.
I run 2 companies here in the Vancouver, WA area. Monday - Thursday you will find me managing my career coaching firm and helping individuals and organizations become the best versions of themselves. Fridays and Saturdays my brain is all about interior design.
Yes, you can have both a creative and logical brain.
And it’s THE BEST!
What does that mean for you as a client?
I get having a busy schedule. Our company is designed to help you make sound design decisions efficiently. We are a perfect fit if you love checking things off your to-do list each day, delegating the stuff you aren’t an expert in, and are ready to have a streamlined interior design experience.
I’m really good at helping people find common ground. Let me tell you something about working in HR and having a background in “all things people”, I can help you make decisions that work for all parties involved. I often joke that interior designers are marriage counselors in disguise. In all seriousness, I cannot help you with personal issues (I’m not licensed), but I can help you find that perfect island pendant that works for both of you!
I’m a real person. If you are looking for a designer to show up in name brand clothing and over the top outfits, I’m not your gal! Sorry, working 2 days a week in this business means I am on the go! I have to be able to talk to contractors, clients, and everyone in between all while *typically* rocking jeans and an iced coffee in hand. I’m down to earth and ready to help regular people design spaces that are perfect for them!

Great Question! It depends on the service you are considering.
Let's get into it shall we...
Discuss With A Designer: The best way to describe this is you get access to my brain and together we will create amazing ideas for your space! If you are looking for a brainstorming session or a chance to run your ideas by a professional - this is for you!
Clients are responsible for taking notes at these sessions. If you are wanting a lower cost option or you are wanting the DIY experience (with a little extra support) then I highly recommend this service.
Let's Remodel/Build My Home: At the conclusion of our time together, you will have a comprehensive hard surface design plan that can be handed over to a contractor or trade of your choice. Every selection will be made and you will have a clear vision of exactly what your project will look like once complete. This service takes the planning portion (which can take months and months) and streamlines it into 10 weeks or less. It's simple, streamlined, and enjoyable - win, win, win! ✨
Interior Design For My Business: This service will be custom to your business and your needs. For most projects, we provide a comprehensive design plan for your business space. It's designed so you can easily hand these plans over to a licensed professional who can execute your vision.

When our clients thoughtfully gather images of rooms that reflect what they want to come home to, we nail it every time! But we're not mind readers: if you’re not happy, please speak up!! We want this to be a collaborative process.
For our remodels, new builds, and commercial projects we always allow time for two design revisions after our first selection meeting. However, the real secret to our success is in your hands. Before we start designing, you'll complete homework that makes sure we are all on the same page. Taking the time to gather images you connect with at this step sets us all up for success!
However, if at any point you are unhappy with the progress or feel like we are not a good fit, we are happy to stop work and end the project. We want our clients to love working with us! Please be sure to communicate this request in writing via email to: brandi@brandiwineinteriordesign.com. Canceling your project will not automatically result in a refund and is determined on a case-by-case basis. When we receive written notice of cancellation we will calculate the hours worked up until that point and will communicate with you regarding any refunds or potential additional payment that may be needed.
