When it comes to building a successful design career, experience is often the most powerful teacher. In our new series ‘Advice for Designers from Designers,’ we ask accomplished interior designers — from boutique studio founders to seasoned industry veterans — to share the pivotal lessons they learned early on, what they wish they’d known when starting out and what they would do differently if launching their careers today.
