Brand awareness and building is on the forefront for Cly design, and our next goal is to expand retail capability to our website where clients can purchase from a curated selection of furniture and furnishings. We also joined forces with Houzz, an online platform for home renovations and designs to further reach targeted audience.
What one piece of advice would you like to offer someone thinking of entering into your field?
One piece of advice I would give someone entering interior design is to believe and love what you do. It’s not an easy industry, you need to believe in yourself for others to believe in you.
What is your favourite aspect about working in the local area?
Our clients are based across London but it’s nice when we have local clients. We enjoy being in our community, meeting new and old faces and not to mention, it saves so much time not having to travel around. Networking is extremely important as most of our clients come referred to us by previous clients or by word of mouth.
What encouraged you to join Hampstead Hive and what has your experience within the Hive been like so far?
I wanted to meet similar minded ladies who can help and support one another, women empowering women. Jess and Nikita do an amazing job bringing everyone together and has been extremely helpful and motivating. The sense of community over competition is just amazing and inspiring.
