This week, I have Design Coven Member Sasha on the podcast to talk about her experience in the interior design industry and how she recently built her own business. A lot of designers ask me about starting their own businesses, which is amazing, but I find most aren’t aware of all the work that goes on behind the scenes (often spanning several years) before most designers go out on their own successfully. Sasha’s story is a great example of the process many of us move through before being ready to jump out on our own. Sasha also took advantage of all the Design Coven membership benefits, including mentorship with me, and she talks about how this helped her gain the confidence and skills needed to manage her own business. If you’re considering membership in the Design Coven but want to hear more about how it can move you forward and elevate your business, this episode is a must-listen!About SashaSasha has been practicing interior design since graduating from Florida State University in 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Interior Design. She has had the pleasure of working with Architectural and Design firms all over the world. Now, she’s excited to begin a new chapter designing dream homes, boutique hotels, wanderlust restaurants, and more. She is  passionate about creating spaces that positively impact individuals. She thrives on connecting, listening and implementing an innovative design that is both aesthetically beautiful and functional for the user. Over the course of her professional career, she’s played a key role in a variety of projects in various sectors, including corporate and healthcare, but hospitality/multi-family and residential design is where she truly shines.Featured in this episodeFeatured Tarot deck: Rider-Waite Colman Smith TarotConnect with SashaWebsiteInstagramAre you an interior designer or are you interested in Holistic Interior Design?
