Owner & Principal
CrafteD Kitchen Design / Post Falls, Idaho
2019 Revenue: $97,000
On training: My experience is more well-rounded than a lot of my peers, and I think it gives me an edge. I started with an education focused on commercial projects, moved into a design-build firm, worked for an independent designer, joined a flooring company, and worked in corporate for a stint. Being able to be hands-on in multiple facets of the industry gave me a greater understanding of how the whole process works. You gain trust faster when you know the language.
On competition: There is enough work to go around. Instead of viewing your peers as your biggest competition, reframe them as your biggest resource. Healthy competition is great, but collaboration grows the industry and all businesses involved.
