When is it better to charge hourly versus a flat fee, and can I combine both in one project? How do I raise my rates with existing clients without losing them? What about scope creep, how do I prevent this especially on fixed‑fee projects? Charging is probably the hottest and most debated topic for interior designers. Design business strategist and coach Melissa Galt, who also spent over 30 years as a residential designer in Atlanta, knows this all too well and is ready to answer all of your charging questions during her Office Hours session.
