Do something different
Last year, we updated our branding. Part of the brand refresh was getting new headshots. When it came time to update my headshots, I decided to do something different. I had recently attended an event where the speaker, Amy Porterfield, talked about the importance of doing things differently. Her words stuck with me, and when I […]

Decorating for clients with asthma or allergies
As the owner of an interior design firm that is service-driven and not sales-driven, I wanted to provide connection in a more meaningful way. So, earlier this month I created our very own VIP Insiders group. This group is also a way to honor my 2020 word of the year: PRESENCE. The first few questions in […]
