Today, we’re covering a topic that most designers struggle with, including myself, and that is talking with your client’s about their budgets and having a clear conversation so that everybody's on the same page, right from the beginning.

Ready you’re ready or not, we’re heading into the holiday season! Although the dates don’t change, this time of year tends to sneak up on me, and I’m sure a lot of you as well. But it’s also a time that makes me think of connection and appreciation. And that may immediately make you think of family and friends, and it should. But the connection and appreciation also ties back to the way we work as interior designers. And that’s what I want to talk about today - how you can head into the holidays with a plan to build upon your connections, show your appreciation, and set yourself up for success, not only with the projects you’re on right now but for future projects coming your way.

Today, I’m excited to share my conversation with Meredith Huck. Meredith is the owner and principal designer of House of Huck and a member of my course, Interior Designer’s Guide to Construction Management. House of Huck is a full-service Interior Design firm located in Coastal Connecticut. Their homes are the essence of coastal casual—textured accents, inviting spaces, high-end finishes and timeless furnishings. Their goal is to curate a tranquil and welcoming environment into their client's homes while not sacrificing the beauty within, just as the coast does for us.

I often talk about the members of my course and how valuable our conversations are. So, I wanted to share that type of conversation with each of you.

Meredith and I cover so many different topics in today’s episode, including profitability and how we gauge our profitability. Spoiler alert: it’s not always in dollars and cents! She’s also passionate about running an efficient and organized design business. Bringing her previous career in business forward into her design practice using repeatable processes that benefit not only her but also every project she’s working on.
