Description

Have you ever been asked, “So… what do you do here?” If you’re an interior designer, chances are you’ve heard this question more than once—from contractors, trades, or even clients. The truth is, many people don’t fully understand the value designers bring to a construction project. And if they don’t know what you do, they can’t value it—or hire you for it.

In this episode, we dive into why it’s critical to define your role with clarity and confidence. You’ll hear how one greenhouse project revealed the gap in understanding, and how showing up as a decision-maker, problem-solver, and translator between client and contractor changes everything. You’ll leave with the exact language to position yourself as essential, not optional, so you can gain respect, influence, and bigger opportunities.
