Heidi Caillier: Going Against the Grain

SHOW NOTES The key to success as an interior designer lies in your own understanding of who you want to be as a designer. Kicking us off on for Season 2 is none other than Heidi Caillier, the Seattle-based interior designer who has successfully grown an impressive following, earned dozens of features in top tier publications, and attracted a devoted clientele base all while avoiding trends and staying committed to her unique outlook as an interior designer. 

In this episode, Heidi Caillier and I discuss:

  • The importance of controlling the work that you show in your portfolio
  • Choosing and collaborating with a photographer
  • Where to submit projects for publication
  • Print versus digital
  • Curating your social media feed
  • Where to find inspiration and how to use it
  • Evolving your aesthetic and challenging yourself creatively
  • How to approach trends
  • Tailoring a project for the client and understanding their vision
  • And more!
