FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Goodness...my career history is grueling. I tried everything. I was very experimental in my approach to life and purpose which has probably set my success back by several years. But at one point, I asked myself what I really enjoyed through all of my experiments and it was obvious-my love of design and furniture was unwavering. So I started college...again, this time for a degree in interior design.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Is there a common type of job? Each of my jobs has been as unique as my clients! From simple staging to project managing multi-million dollar renovations on land and on sea, there is little I haven't done. But there is so much more to do! I have a restaurant design underway and I'd like to do a hotel someday soon. I better get on with it...
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure you hear from past clients. This is a field where almost everyone says they can do it or have a friend they can "recommend." Training in interior design is about safety, code compliance, and layers of nuances that contribute to great design. It's so much more than putting a couple of fabrics together that work with a paint color.
