Is there an ideal balance for the design professional; a median point that relies equally on creativity and process? In this episode, Alexandra Crevier shares her experience melding a background in civil engineering and construction management with the somewhat less rigid world of residential design. In this episode we learn: - educate yourself with books, YouTube, podcasts—never stop learning - when implementing a design, theory doesn’t cut it, pick up the phone and ask your contractor for help - bring formal process to the residential construction world - clients love to see you managing the project with process - host a post-mortem for every project and don't forget to include your trades who will have valuable insight as well - professional doesn't have to mean boring, it’s ok to have fun with clients - saying yes to everything is the number one mistake Success is not an accident. It's a strategy. Business of Design® is that strategy. Become a member, today. https://businessofdesign.com/?ref=2&campaign=podcast
