Summary

We have Laura Umansky from Laura U! This is a special interview for me because I love to meet the people you look up to in the design world. We love to see them create beautiful interiors but also big business platforms for themselves. Today we are going to talk to Laura about this. Laura founded her business Laura U in 2006 and personalized customer service is paramount. Show Notes: What was her work experience before going out on her own? Was there a business plan? What’s it like working with her husband? How did she establish the minimum of rooms she will do in a project? What are the processes her business uses? How is destination design different? What are the biggest challenges in destination design?
