What causes design jobs to fall apart? Spoiler alert: it’s rarely the client’s fault.

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m walking you through the real reasons design jobs go sideways, and how to prevent them before they start. From clients ghosting your final presentation to never-ending projects with zero profit, I’ll show you how to build structure, communicate expectations, and take the lead from day one.

If you’ve ever found yourself mid-project wondering “How did we end up here?”, this episode is your roadmap to staying in control and getting paid what you're worth.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The #1 mistake designers make that leads to job chaos
  • What goes into a clear, client-aligned Letter of Agreement
  • Why the money talk must happen up front
  • How to structure your meetings and set boundaries
  • The connection between planning and profit
