I'm not one for resolutions, but this year...

I didn’t necessarily set out to make a lot of changes this year, but sometimes the universe decides for us. I’m starting to work on some changes to Wrensted Interiors, and some even bigger ones for me personally – not to be a total tease, but we’re talking about more of them in an upcoming episode on our Patreon if you want the first listen. 

Here’s a few things that were on the menu from January: updating my internal business processes to automate more steps, updating my Investment Guide, and my landlord started subdividing my office space. Most of you Hotties know that I’m not a woo-woo person, but I truly believe that the universe has some big things in store for me this year. My new mantra is “everything always works out for me.”

We’ll be sharing and talking about more with our Loyal Hotties during our next Hottie Hangout on Patreon so join us if you want the inside scoop!

This month had its fair share, but in business, I was so proud of my new online appointment organization, and it ended up a disaster with lots of extra client communication. After 7 years, I completely abandoned it and started with a new system. It’s not perfect, but so far, so good!

It’s hard to say goodbye to my 1500 sq. ft. office and downsize into 1/2 the space. It meant looking at my goals for the space originally and moving on from them. It’s oddly liberating…

My Riverfront project is coming together seeing the finishes and custom bed go in was better than Christmas. Most of the furniture installs in February, I’m SOOOO excited!! 

I went with some friends and got a color analysis. Turns out, my ideal color palette for clothing is Deep Autumn. And the most surprising color I can add to my palette is a dark purple! Now I’ll have a much better idea of the right colors to make me look my best!

The Best Part of Being a Designer Has Nothing to Do With Design For a profession that’s built on collaboration, we designers spend an awful lot of time trying to do everything ourselves. We learn to draw, we learn construction, we answer plumbing questions, solve electrical problems, manage schedules, source
