Until May of this year I had been working at a boutique interior design firm, Courtney & Company Design, in San Antonio, Texas since August 2012. I started as an intern and within months was offered the position of Assistant Designer. Since then I have learned more than I could have ever dreamed of - in both design and in business. I am so ready to take on this new venture and apply all of my skills, creativity, and energy in a new work space.
Having worked in a high-end small firm I have really gotten a great understanding of the ins and outs of the interior design business. On a daily basis I will meet with clients, work with architects on space/furniture/lighting plans, make furniture/lighting/textile/finish selections, oversee the full life-cycle of custom pieces, conduct research, maintain and nurture relationships with clients, work-rooms, and vendors. I love every bit of it because I see how each one connects to the other and is so important for a successful project.
