papercutter is on a distinguished road
Every designer works a little differently, but the common thread is that whoever you hire will come out and learn about your preferences and how you plan to use the space- long and short term goals, what's working for you and what's not, views you want to screen off, etc. Then they'll take the measurements and can get started. What's important is that you have a realistic idea of your budget and have at least some sense of what you want from the space. APLD.org is a good resource for finding designers in all 50 states. Good luck!
