Interior designers are trained to create beautiful spaces—but far fewer are taught how to build a vendor strategy that protects profitability, streamlines logistics and safeguards client relationships when challenges arise.

In this highly practical, business-focused session, Jamie Young, founder of Jamie Young Co., will share clear, actionable guidance on how designers can vet vendors, manage freight and lead times, protect margins, and cultivate strategic partnerships that strengthen their business over the long term. This session is tailored for designers who want to tighten operations, avoid costly mistakes and build scalable vendor relationships that support sustainable growth.

In this workshop, attendees will learn:
- The essential questions designers should ask vendors about inventory, freight, lead times, pricing tiers and packaging
- How to evaluate buying through a showroom versus purchasing directly from a vendor
- Strategies for protecting margins through proactive logistics and freight planning
- How strong vendor partnerships improve operational efficiency and project outcomes

After this workshop, attendees will have:
- A framework for vetting and selecting vendor partners more strategically
- Tools for managing freight, lead times and logistics conversations with confidence
- Practical strategies to protect margins and avoid common purchasing pitfalls
- A clearer approach to building long-term vendor relationships that support business growth
