Episode 010: The Business of E-Design
Manage episode 323317738 series 3113264
As an online interior designer (exclusively) and also a content creator, I realized after undergoing my own journey of exploration, that many of the challenges fellow online designpreneurs were facing weren’t being specifically addressed, and so The E-Design Experience was born. But what is e-design? How do you do it? What does it look like? Who is it for? So in today’s episode, I want to talk all about the business of e-design with you, hopefully answering some of those questions for you.
What is E-Design?
Exactly as the name implies, e-design aka online interior design is an interior design process that takes place remotely and/or virtually — completely in the digital space — allowing designers and clients to connect beyond the constraints of location.
How Do You Do It?
Spoiler alert: there is no one way to do it. E-design can be done in a multitude of ways but at it’s core there are some fundamentals of e-design that can be agreed upon.
What Does E-Design Look Like?
What matters is that you’re delivering exactly what you committed to, as a designer, and exactly what your people our needed & wanting from you.
Who Is It For?
If you’re looking for a passive design service, e-design isn’t for you. If technology isn’t for you, than neither is e-design. If you cannot find a way to deliver exceptional service in a more truncated format, e-design isn’t for you either.

E-design isn’t a substitute for traditional interior design services; it’s an alternative. While there is a school of thought that e-design has “disrupted” the interior design industry, I say it has enhanced it. While it may not for everyone nor is there any one way to do it, it is undeniable that e-design is an exciting new landscape for our industry.
