IMAGINATIVE YET DOWN-TO-EARTH
INTERIORS + ORGANIZATION
Sky fish design, llc's founder and CCO, Jeffrey Dooley, has always had passion for anything creative. A Greenville native, he's a classically-trained vocalist who eventually redirected his artistic and performative inclinations to fashion and visual experiences. But he's also a perpetual psychology nerd and all-around people-person, and was actually thisclose to becoming a licensed counselor instead of an entrepreneurial designer.
Through a variety of turn-key interior design and professional organization offerings, sky fish collides Jeffrey's beloved worlds of art, fashion, performance, psychology, human behaviors and inter-personal relationships. Life may be short, but it deserves our whole hearts; and that's how and why sky fish came to exist in the first place. We believe the golden rule is make the most out of everything - whether it's a job, a work of art, a conversation, an entryway, a closet's space, new friends or a weeknight family dinner.
story
purpose
Don't be concerned with the frivolity of building "a lifestyle." Do better than that. BUILD LIFE. Breathe into every nook and cranny. The sky fish aesthetic is as much about authenticity and livability as it is fabulosity. Make a real impact.
1 | LET'S BE REAL
Form and function go hand-in-hand. Life is superlatively stylish when it looks like finding joy in the mundane, being at peace, using your imagination, having resolve, and motivation to act. So let's create those things, see those things, and do those things. Then life is truly beautiful and memorable.
2 | SEEING IS BELIEVING
Our space affects our actions, mentality, mood and state of being. Organization and structure empower people as they get ahold of their daily lives through the many ways they interact with, and experience, their surroundings. Eliminate stress. Increase productivity. Then we can achieve happiness and fulfillment, even in (especially in!) the small things.
3 | IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
4 | PRETTY IS AS PRETTY DOES
"Decoration" is hardly a fluff concept. Science and psychology tell us that attractive things actually work better. The senses are powerful, and people are reactionary. When we are refreshed and inspired through color palettes, textiles, patterns, artwork and other "pretty" things, we enter a positive mind state. We become better equipped to solve problems, and perform tasks with greater ease and results. We function at a higher level, so we ENJOY DOING all the things! We also become kinder and more loving people.
5 | THE SKY FISH COMMANDMENTS
In everything, maintain these core values: have an open mind. Have fun. Collaborate graciously with others at every opportunity. Listen. Be honest about what works and what doesn't. Make room for what you do, your passions, and who you love. Focus on that stuff, every damn day.
Every project is charged at an hourly rate, following a free one-hour consultation and project proposal delivery. We have two major approaches: a design Rework, or a Refresh. A Rework means that you'll need some goods and/or services purchased from third party vendors, which will be charged outside of sky fish's hourly design services (but which we cherry-pick, plan, manage and guide you through 100%). A Refresh is simply working magic with what you have, and charged at an hourly rate, period.
process
1 | REWORK VS. REFRESH
We address projects in two basic ways: 1| A REWORK - more like "starting over," which requires purchase of some third party goods or services on your behalf; and 2| A REFRESH - simply working with what you already have. Which method works for you and your budget?
2 | SAY HELLO + GIVE US THE SCOOP
Next, give us the scoop on what you're looking to accomplish, ideal timeframe for completion, budget and/or other preliminary intel you think will be helpful to disclose; and allow us to gather our thoughts.
3 | FREE ONE-HOUR CONSULT
We'll get back to you within 48 hours of receiving your inquiry to set up a one-hour free consultation with you in your space. We'll talk more about your hopes and dreams, we'll listen, and we'll take lots of notes.
4 | THE PROPOSAL OF YOUR DREAMS
After we assess the scope of work, and gather what preliminary information we can, we'll deliver a detailed proposal about your project for you to review, and both sign off when you're officially ready to get down to business!
