Epic Failures: An interview with Interior Designer Arlene Lord

Arlene, owner of Lord Interior Design, is stilling down with Amy Bright of the Northwest Society of Interior Designers (NWSID) to discuss epic wins and failures. It happens to even the most professional professionals — you can't grow without falling down a few times!

Arlene shares her steps to ensure a project runs smoothly and leave her clients thirsty for more:

  1. Planning as much as possible prior to construction — down to the grout color — leaves room to deal with unexpected hiccups

  2. Using 3D rendering for design proposals lowers any anxiety our client may have regarding their personal design

  3. Record and reflect on any hiccups and anticipate them for future projects

  4. As an interior designer, establish yourself as the professional and set healthy boundaries with clients and teammates. Give yourself creative breaks!

  5. Always trust your gut!
