Hey there, it's great to have you back! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to the incredibly talented Hilary Cohen. With over 15 years of experience, Hilary has worked with top AD100 designers, El Decor A-listers, and high-profile celebrity clients across the country. From boutique hotels to stunning residential projects, she's done it all! Her work has been featured in Veranda, Homes & Gardens, and The New Jersey Home, just to name a few.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • How it All Began: Hilary shares her childhood love for rearranging furniture and creating mood boards (pre-Pinterest days!) that led her to discover her passion for interior design.
  • Favorite Projects: Whether it's personalizing residential spaces or designing bold hospitality projects, Hilary loves blending beauty with function to create spaces her clients adore.
  • Client Dynamics: From late-night text messages with links to managing expectations, Hilary reveals her secrets to building trust and keeping clients happy.
  • Challenges and Wins: Hear her thoughts on navigating tricky construction schedules, avoiding red flags, and ensuring smooth communication throughout every project.
  • Finding the Balance: Hilary opens up about managing her career while raising young kids, traveling for work, and making every moment count.
  • Word of Mouth Magic: Discover how local mom groups and personal referrals have become a cornerstone of her business growth.
