#97 | Managing Change in the Interior Design Industry with Maggie Griffin

Interior Designer's Business Blueprint   In today's episode, I sat down with Maggie Griffin of Maggie Griffin Design, a full-service residential interior design firm in Gainesville, Georgia. Maggie is known for her modern Southern Living style with spaces that are freshly classic and comfortable for everyday life. We share about the changes we've seen in the design industry since the pandemic, especially regarding lead times and project costs. We also talk about managing client expectations from those who might be looking for what Maggie calls a "move that bus moment" and how she can educate clients on what to expect without scaring them off.   Here’s a glance at this episode…

• We discuss the significant impact that social media has had on the interior design industry and what this means for interior designers and their clients.
