Just like the finding of the research, many of those very well-known interior designers are not those who actually did the designs for their well published projects. By working and interacting with many interior designers, I realized the people who usually had more creative and appropriate design solutions were those who really did not have too much to say. They were always those quiet ones who listened, and only spoke at the end of the design meeting or client meeting. On contrary, the higher ranking designers, usually the owners of the companies, were the ones talked from the beginning to the end, provided lots of ideas, described their visions of designs up and down, left and right, in both design meeting with the company employees and the client meeting with the clients, but really did not know what they were talking about. Many of them cannot even draw a table or a chair correctly. They constantly provided their clients inappropriate design solutions which often needed to be corrected by their employees. In the constructions sites, those design company owners who usually only went to the construction sites probably once a month often acted like they know the job site situations better than anyone else by talking very loudly and directing the contractors to do things that were totally opposite to what those employed designers had directed previously in order to show they are the ones know everything and they are the ones in charge, and when errors occurred, those employed designers always had to reverse what their bosses’ said at the job sites and went back to the old ways in order to correct the mistakes. Behind the beautiful photographed project pictures on the magazines, behind the close doors of many those famous interior design companies, these kinds of scenes repeatedly happened over and over. Sometimes, I wonder why so many consumers are still willing to take the risk and hand over their big checks and big houses to those famous designers to design and manage? What if their employees, those who really know the designs, did not discover the mistakes their bosses made or simply didn’t dare to speak out and against their bosses’ orders? Who is going to pay for those design mistakes at the construction sites? Well, it will not be those famous designers or the contractors, but it will eventually be you, the consumers.
Study also has shown the creative individuals are usually introverted and quiet. Unfortunately, being introverted and quite in this competitive interior design business really does not help those real designers to advance their own careers much. In many social events where many potential clients will be, those quiet introverts usually either avoid attending or attend but stand at the corners and not to socialize with people which reduces their personal career opportunities tremendously. On contrary, those well-known interior designers fly around every corner of the social events like social butterflies end up getting all of the business leads and prospects.
Maybe it is because those famous interior designers know they really do not know so much about their professions, they are often very insecure about their employees-those real designers, so besides having their employees sign all kinds of non-competitive agreements, they usually do not publish their employee’s names on the design magazines when they published any interior design project that was actually designed by their employees. By keeping their employees’ names in the dark, those famous designers ensure their employees will always remain un-known to you.
Because I don’t think it is fair for the famous designers to keep making all the money and the real designers keep doing all the work, or for you, the consumers, to take the risks of paying those un-necessary fees just for the “big names” or for covering the design mistakes made by the famous designers, I have decided to create this website and provide you the different kind of platform to search for interior designers. Most interior designer searching websites out there really do not and cannot differentiate the famous designers and those really creative ones, but we have developed unique ways to identify those real talented interior designers and filter out those designers who are just talkative social butterflies.
Usually those famous designers cannot design on their own, so they must hire someone who really knows the design to work for them, so in addition to the already over-priced design fees those famous designers will charge you, they must also charge you the “overheads” to cover the costs of hiring those real interior designers who actually perform the work. So, why not just hire those real designers who really perform the work directly?! It is making not only the design sense, but also the financial sense. Moreover, we do not charge a dime from any interior designer who posted the profile on our website so we do not have any conflict of interest. Therefore, we will not advertise any designer just because he or she simply can afford the expensive ads like those on other interior designer searching websites or interior design magazines. So, please sit back, relax, and start searching for the right interior designers for your current and future projects via Talenteddesigners.com
