This is not a picture of my client :).

Today I got a frantic call from an old prospective client:

 "Peta, it has gone all wrong I have spent so much money and nothing is working I am so stressed out when can we meet!."

This was a boutique hotel owner who I had met with mid last year, we had gone back and forth through the negotiation process to create the best interior design package that met both his interior design requirements and budget. I thought we were ready to move forward only to discover weeks later that due to the state of the economy he had decided to "cut cost" by doing all the design on his own.

Who says that corporate offices and the people that work in them need to follow the traditional idea of gray cubicles, fluorescent lighting and life sucking energy?

Your office should be a place you are inspired to be in, an environment that stimulates energy, ideas and new innovate ways that make you, your clients and your company money. How can you do this in a dull space that breeds a team of unmotivated people who's only highlights of the day is lunch break and checkout time?
