Soraida Bedoya’s 14 years of design industry experience is founded  on her training in fine art and sculpture, her studies in art history and a keen fascination for objects as story tellers.

Putting people at the center of design and listening to what draws people to their home in the first place reveals a path to thoughtful design ideas and a discovery  of  beautiful ways to truly live in a home.

Her designs emphasize balance to create clean and beautiful environments that lean toward modern yet remain elegant, livable and refined.

Soraida’s  interior design work has been featured in HC&G Magazine, her artwork in Interior Design Magazine, HC&G and News Day. She has participated in numerous Hampton Designer Showhouses.  And recently been awarded best of 2015 from the Houzz  community for customer satisfaction.

After many years of living and working in the Hamptons Soraida is now based between New York City and the East End with an occasional pit stop in the Caribbean.

‘Before You Begin’ is a brand new service that was created by Related Arts’ founder  for those considering a home makeover. Ms. Bedoya has mastered the craft of interior redesign for 14 years from all angles of both the trade client and private owner experience. Her informative “trade secrets” offered in these sessions help breakdown the common design-related psychological chicanery and they provide sensible solutions for getting over them and onto the process of creating a truly ideal living space.

Why: Sometimes the biggest stumbling blocks to designing a new home aren’t only money or great ideas but the worrisome “where to begin” and “who to turn to” thoughts that swirl inside one’s head.

How it works: You can choose either a live online group webinar or a personalized one on one session with Soraida Bedoya.

What is covered in a ‘Before You Begin’ session.

• How to identify your personal taste, i.e. colors, tones and textures and styles.
• Learn what to expect from working with an interior design professional and what to expect from the partnerships on the project ie. architects, contractors and vendors.
• Understand how to gauge your budget and project time lines.
• How to determine a design fee structure to suit your budget and time line.
• The pros and cons of DIY.
• Identify need vs. want.
• Identify immediate lifestyle and enjoyment goal.
• Consider long term ROI objectives.
• Determine whether or not the “real thing” is worth the extra dollar or if a knock off is just as great.
• Lastly, how a focused approach to your project will help save time, money and headaches – eliminating the chaos caused by a lack of preparedness.

Results: Users will be happy to discover how much time, energy and aggravation they can save by knowing what questions to ask and how to narrow the search field by knowing what to look for.

Pricing: A full day session “Before You Begin” session with Soraida Bedoya costs $750.00 (available in the New York tri-state area only)

The “Before You Begin” webinar that runs for approximately 90 minutes costs $125.00
