The new Valley Design Network was a huge success last evening!

Designers, redesigners, stagers, certified cabinet designers, faux finishers, and shop owners all attended and were excited about the prospect of networking with other professionals related to the field of interior design. Everyone agreed, we should meet again next month to continue our networking and relationship-building.

Meetings will be kept short - 1 hour - with half of the time devoted to socializing and networking and the other half dedicated to a program of sorts ~

I encouraged everyone to invite other guests to our next meeting so we can grow and provide greater opportunities for our network of professionals.

I am launching a new Phoenix designer's networking group this evening - for designers as well as the trades that make us look good! My goal is to develop a network of design professionals and the trades, artists, vendors, etc. with whom we work in our design-related projects who will periodically come together, learn something new, share our triumphs, understand our not-so-shining moments (!), and generally help us become better design professionals in our community.

Wish me luck! More to follow....
