Tell us about a challenge you are proud that you have overcome.

Just going for it and opening my business while still facing fear of the unknown.

What is your favorite part of being an entrepreneur?

The sense of accomplishment: Building and growing a successful business has been a challenging but highly fulfilling experience for me. As an Interior Designer I take pride in knowing that I have helped create something of value and have made a difference in the lives of my clients. I’m driven and passionate in helping others turn their vision for a space into a reality, and I enjoy the satisfaction of creating spaces that improve their daily living.

What is one thing you do every day and why?

There are a number of things that I do on a daily basis such as pray, meditate and drink lots of water to name a few, however something as simple as making the bed every morning is one thing that is important for a number of reasons, and I encourage those who don’t practice it to give it a try. Making your bed every day is a small task that can have a big impact on your daily life. It can boost your mood, increase your productivity, encourage a routine, improve the appearance of your living space, and set a positive example for others.

Who is your role model/biggest inspiration?

There are many great designers who have made significant contributions to the field of interior design that can serve as excellent role models and sources of inspiration such as Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Alexandra Champalimaud and Rose Uniacke however Alexandra Stoddard stands out in particular: Alexandra Stoddard is an American interior designer, author, and lifestyle expert known for her approach to living a beautiful and meaningful life. She is known for her unique approach to interior design, which combines elements of classical design with a personal touch to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. She has been featured in numerous magazines and television shows and is considered one of the leading authorities on interior design.
