Summary

Today With Jessamy Tsoris: Hi, welcome to A Well-Designed Business! Today I'm thrilled to share my heartfelt conversation with Jessamy Tsoris, an inspiring interior designer who transformed her career after facing unexpected challenges in the graphic design world. Jessamy opens up about her journey from sitting at a desk for hours to discovering her true passion in interior design. We delve into the importance of truly listening to clients, the creative flow that comes when you're in your element, and how to bring your best self to every project. Whether you're contemplating a career change or looking to elevate your design practice, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Join us as we explore Jessamy's story and what it means to show up for our clients with enthusiasm and authenticity! More About Jessamy Tsoris Jessamy is the founder of Color Zen interiors. She launched Color Zen in 2009 with intentions to simply offer paint color consulting but much to her delight, the business grew steadily into full-scale interior design. Currently, Jessamy works with a wide variety of local and remote clients on residential and commercial interiors, exteriors and color consulting projects. Fueled by a lifelong, undying love for feel-good design and ambience, Jessamy lives to create transformative spaces for a vast range of style requests and personality types. She has learned so many human lessons from connecting and listening intently to clients and also observing patterns in behavior throughout the interior design process. These observations have sparked laughter, tears, personal reflection and really great conversations with friends. She would love to share some takeaways with you.
