Today with Kelly Fridline: Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. For many of you, running a successful and profitable interior design firm is the ultimate goal. But sometimes, the goal might look different. Perhaps you’ve thought about coaching, course creation, or another avenue besides a traditional firm. There are many career paths in the industry, and all of them require adjusting, evaluation, learning, and making mistakes. Today, Kelly Fridline joins me to discuss what it looks like to take a unique career path and what she has learned as she has carved out her businesses. Pick it apart:  [2:34] Kelly discusses her background in architecture and the path she took to interior design.  [17:15] Kelly shares why she has chosen to not become licensed as an architect.  [34:08] Kelly highlights why she started Virtual Design Mentor as a networking and growth opportunity for designers.  [47:10] Kelly shares why her business involves other coaches and the strengths everyone brings to the table.  [53:20] Kelly talks about Liase for Interior Design and how designers can use it to find virtual assistance for their businesses.  LuAnn and Kelly Fridline’s Ah-Ha moments: “Humility is key, but so is being really proud of what your gifts are.” -Kelly Fridline “No matter how many podcasts you listen to or how great your business coach is, there is still that learning experience where you’re going to make some really stupid decisions, and you’re going to learn from them.” -Kelly Fridline “It’s such a personal thing. I have to believe with the body of experience and education you have, if it really mattered to you, you’d sit and pass the darn test. But it doesn’t. And until it really matters to you, so what?” -LuAnn Nigara More about Kelly Fridline:Kelly Fridline is an entrepreneur at heart, but a designer through and through. Since establishing Kelly Fridline Design, LLC in 2017, she’s learned the importance of flexibility in not only design, but business planning and goals. In the almost five years she’s been in business her focus has changed from primarily interior design, to Virtual Design Assistance and Renderings, totraining fellow creatives in the art of professionally presenting and documenting their projects, and finally assisting and mentoring fellow virtual assistants in business and attracting clients. With a Master of Architecture from Savannah College of Art and Design and almost a decade of professional design, construction, and virtual collaboration experience, Kelly brings a unique insight to the interior design industry. Using these experiences, this past year Kelly founded The Virtual Design Mentor and Liaise for Interior Design. In addition to her own business, Kelly resides in the Metro-Detroit area with her husband, son, and two dogs.

33. The Options You Have with Virtual Interior Design, whether as an E-Designer or as a VDA with Kelly Fridline

Rendering can be key for communicating with a client on how a space should look. But it’s also time-consuming and resource-intensive. Should you outsource it, and how does that work? Ace architectural artist Kelly Fridline tells Darla and Natalie. Kelly Fridline is an architecturally trained interior designer who specializes in providing 3D-renderings for interior designers and their clients. Kelly partners with interior designers, architects and contractors to help their clients see their vision in all its 3D glory prior to implementation. Kelly is based in Texas but works with designers from all over. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [2:25] Consultations from Instagram [4:59] How Kelly got her rendering business started [8:48] Laurie’s first business [10:05] How Kelly works long-distance [11:50] When should renderings be used? [15:05] Should you let clients keep drawings? [18:00] When to work with a chief architect [21:10] Renderings for marketing [26:10] Rendering converts [35:00] Whut up, Wingnut?  Connect with Kelly Fridline Kelly Fridline Design Kelly Fridline on Facebook Kelly Fridline on Instagram  Resources &amp; People Mentioned RevIt Kick Ass with Mel Robbins A Knight in Shining Armor Wingnut Social Media Lab  How to work with a rendering pro Kelly obviously doesn’t fly around the country to visit every site for which she’s creating a rendering. So how does she create accurate renderings without being in the room? She says the more information she can get from the designers the better. So that’s room dimensions, product information, etc. She’s actually gotten pretty good at figuring out dimensions off a few bits of information, but the more you can provide the better. When are renderings a good thing? In addition to rendering designs in 3D, Kelly provides an extra layer of quality control for designers. So a designer may have a great idea, but once it’s rendered, it may look a little wonky, which allows Kelly to flag that for the designer, or the designer to change it on the fly. It’s also really great for a designer (or client) who’s having a difficult time making up their mind. By creating a 3D rendering, they can see how something would look and make a switch if necessary.
