FAQs

What does Upwell Design specialize in?

Upwell Design is a design and renovation consultancy focused on creating functional, beautiful spaces. I handle everything from concept to completion — including layout planning, material sourcing, and construction oversight.

Do you work on both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. I partner with homeowners, architects, and business owners on a range of projects, from home remodels to retail and workplace design.

Yes. In addition to design, I act as a homeowners’ representative — managing bids, coordinating trades, sourcing materials, and ensuring the project stays on budget and schedule.

Can you work with my existing architect or contractor?

Absolutely. I can join teams mid-project to provide design direction, problem-solving, and seamless communication between all parties.

Where do you work?

I’m based in the San Francisco Bay Area - Marin County - and work on projects throughout Northern California. I can also consult remotely for select projects outside the region.
