Summary

Today With Hannah Bowyer: Hi, welcome to A Well-Designed Business! In this episode, I’m excited to dive into the world of virtual assistance and automation in interior design with the amazing Hannah Bowyer. We’re exploring how these powerful tools can help designers maximize their efficiency and elevate their client experience. I’ll share insights on leveraging a CRM to streamline your workflow and the importance of outsourcing tasks to free up your time, allowing you to focus on what you do best. Join me as we uncover the keys to success in today’s fast-paced design landscape! LuAnn Nigara and Hannah Bowyer’s Ah-Ha Moments: “Efficiency creates dollar bills.” - LuAnn More About Hannah Bowyer After spending 10 years in the service industry, Hannah decided to step out on a limb and create a business that would support the life she wanted. Initially she began in the general VA space, editing blogs and doing miscellaneous tasks. She quickly realized that interior design was the niche she wanted to be in. With a keen sense for problem solving, she got to work becoming the VDA designers needed. She now owns Hannah Bowyer and Company, a Virtual Design Assistance Agency that supports designers in various aspects of their business; from drawings and renderings, to social media and copywriting, to systems and processes. Over the years she has learned to delegate what doesn’t energize her to make space for what does. Her favorite thing is helping designers comb through the messy backend of their businesses to create clarity and direction. Hannah currently lives abroad with her husband and two children; embracing the freedom and life she’s created.
