Are you intimidated by the idea of branching out into the world of interior design consulting?
You shouldn’t be. (Although, truth be told, I 100% sympathize with your fears. ;-)
Today though, now that I’ve performed countless on-site and virtual one-off consultations, I realize my concerns were unwarranted. Why? Because…

It’s the fastest way to make money in interior design.

I can turn the service on and off as I wish, providing me with more flexibility with my business schedule.
Really, my list could go on and on.
