Shownotes
Today’s episode will be of particular interest to those of you looking to break into the design industry and land your first gig. My guest today is not only a wildly successful interior designer and entrepreneur in her own right, but she was also my very first hire when growing my own design business many years ago.
Heather Safferstone is an Interior Designer known for her personalized approach to creating chic and happy spaces. Her style is a healthy mix of high-end to real steals, new, old, and everything in between. She’s especially drawn to items that build character and tell a story that reflects her clients and creates the spaces they love to be in.
She has a friendly, approachable style and is often referred to as her clients’ Designer Bestie who magically balances function, form, and fun.
She began in the industry in 2007 in Washington, DC, and in 2016, she established Safferstone Interiors, a full-service design firm that designs high-end furnishings projects, large-scale renovations, and new custom builds for discerning homeowners. Her detail-oriented approach blends timeless appeal with color, pattern, and a few smart tricks to create layered spaces that are practical and meet the functional needs of her clients and their families.
She has been featured in Philadelphia Magazine, Houzz, Small Space Decorating, DC Modern Luxury, and the Washington Post. Currently, she lives and operates her business in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with her family, servicing projects along the East Coast.
