In this treat of an episode, I sat down with the spectacular and talented Toronto Designer, Allison Willson to talk about all of the things - life, career changes, aesthetic, pricing and more!

Allison shares why she finally decided to go out on her own and start her design firm after working 11 years at Sarah Richardson Design. She explores how she'd describe her distinctive style and how saying NO to some things can be the right move for your business, your livelihood and for your clients. She talks about balancing projects and staying within your capacity, her experience managing a team and her thought process behind her pricing model.

She also dives into why she listens to her gut and the green flags she looks for when speaking with potential clients. We learn about her thoughts on magazine spreads, what they do and and don’t do for her business, and her love/hate relationship with Instagram! Finally, don’t miss her incredibly poignant nugget of wisdom that has truly stayed with me since our conversation!
