When I first accepted the role as an Executive Assistant in an interior design company, I had this picture in my head that Interior designers/companies pick out beautiful curtains, choose color schemes, hang nice picture frames, and maybe throw in a few stylish rugs and pillows. Imagine my shock and the number of reality checks I got in just one month and a few weeks in, I’ve witnessed how much strategy, precision, and coordination go into every project. From managing complex client communications to keeping track of project timelines and budgets, there’s so much happening behind the scenes. 🎬 In this short time, I’ve learned so much about time management, decision-making, and staying organized in a fast-paced environment. Every day is a new opportunity to grow, and I look forward to doing better in my areas of weakness as I am all about growth. I’m excited to keep growing in this role, bringing my best to the job while gaining more insights into the interior design industry. 💡 Who else has had their expectations completely flipped in a new role? #ExecutiveAssistant #InteriorDesign #CareerGrowth #ExpectationVsReality #BehindTheScenes #NewRole

A question I get asked all the time: "𝘐𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘳... 𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺?" But this comes from a big misunderstanding about what interior designers actually do. Designers don’t get paid just to make a space “look pretty.” They get paid to solve problems you didn’t even know you had. That’s why companies hire someone like me: • To optimize their space for max productivity • To design for employee well-being • To create an environment that reflects their brand Most companies don’t have that expertise (or the time) to figure out what works best for their space. On the flip side, I 𝘥𝘰 have the expertise and experience to make it all happen—on time, within budget, and with a design that works. It’s a perfect partnership. And as someone in this field, I can tell you this: • You don’t need a huge budget to get started • You don’t have to choose between function and style. • You don’t need to lose sleep over timelines Want to create a workspace your team will love?

Let's Redefine Interior Design.... Design isn't just about aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that truly work for you. Yet, many overlook the time, expertise, and dedication behind every project by calling multiple designers to discuss ideas without a real commitment. This approach not only undervalues our work but also wastes everyone's time. Hiring an interior designer is like consulting a specialist—you’re investing in their vision, skills, and experience to transform your space. Let's respect the profession, honor the time spent, and work together to create functional, beautiful, and unique spaces.
