No designer, no matter how visionary, is an island. In addition to your employees, your extended team includes contractors, electricians, painters, upholsterers, manufacturers, vendors, art and antiques dealers: all the myriad talents needed to execute an expertly appointed home. That means the outcome of your project is very much dependent on the collective you foster. For a successful business, you need to build strategic partnerships.
Designer Sara Malek Barney of Bandd/Design is here to teach you how. In her workshop, attendees will learn negotiation strategies, terms of agreement, collaboration techniques and workflow coordination methods, all aimed at elevating the efficiency of your process and the quality of your project.
