How Do You Make Time for Creativity?

No one said running a business was easy, but how do designers make sure that amid all the invoices, purchase orders, and shipping logistics, they still find time to be creative? In this episode, New York designers Ellen Hamilton and Sandra Funk and Nashville-based Lori Paranjape discuss the systems and secrets so they never lose focus on the part of the job they love—designing beautiful rooms. They share the computer programs they use to handle everything from office management to email lists, the outside services and professionals they rely on, how they approach contracts and apportion their staff’s time, and reveal why trust and communication are the bedrock of any successful firm.
