As an interior designer, staying competitive in the market means updating and renovating projects to meet the continually growing contractor and developer demand. To do this, you must pivot your business model, expand business operations and build relationships with partners in the industry. Collaboration is essential for making sure you are able to deliver quality services that will keep customers coming back.

When you run an interior design business, it's important to remember that it is more than simply selling furniture and decor items. It's also about creating a brand identity - building relationships with partners to create trust, loyalty, and value. Flexibility is key too – sometimes you have to work within the customer’s budget while still making sure they have a good experience. Doing this will benefit your business in the long run, as those customers will become your loyal fan base and act as brand ambassadors.

She talks about the opportunities people have to create, update, and renovate their living spaces.
