Most design firms don't have a pricing problem. They have a leakage problem.

Freight. Receiving. Warehousing. Reimbursable expenses. Each one is a real cost to your firm, and each one tends to get absorbed quietly the moment a client pushes back.

Across a year of projects, those absorbed costs add up to real margin.

Three questions worth asking about your current pricing:
• Do you know your true cost per project hour, including overhead?
• Are freight and receiving markups written into your agreements, or negotiated case by case?
• When scope expands, does your fee expand with it?

These questions are on the table at "The Price Is Right: Generate Higher Design Fees That Reflect Your Value," Sunday, October 18 at 2:00 PM, Crystorama Lighting (IHFC H241). Moderated by Julia Nikishina of New Age Financial Consulting, with Daniel Paul, Dalia Soles, Brooke Stoll, and Ashley Hughes.

First time at High Point Market? It's a lot more than 10 million square feet of showroom space. You don't have to figure it out alone.

The Learn to Love High Point Market Tour, Saturday, October 17, is built for first-timers and newer designers. Wendy Woloshchuk and Jennifer Tampasis lead you through at least five designer-friendly showrooms, with private tours, insider tips, and a shuttle between stops. Breakfast and lunch are included, and the day ends with cocktails and designer mingling.

Breakfast starts at 8:45 AM at Interior Design Society Headquarters. Reserve your spot. Link in comments.

The most expensive line in a design contract is often the one that isn't there.

Design projects run on multiple vendors, layered timelines, deposits, retainers, and change orders. When the structure behind them is loose, risk piles up in predictable places:

1. Payment terms that don't say what happens when a payment is late
2. Change orders approved verbally and never documented
3. Retainers without clear rules on how they're applied or refunded
4. Vendor responsibilities left undefined when something arrives damaged

If you're responsible for client contracts or financial oversight, this session is for you: "Real Talk: What Your Design Lawyer Wants You to Know," Saturday, October 17 at 1:00 PM, Alder & Tweed (Commerce & Design 6E, Floor 6).

Attorney Wendy Estela of Estela Law, PLLC / Designed Counsel joins LuAnn Nigara, host of A Well-Designed Business®.

Home from Vegas, and still thinking about the conversations. ♠️

The best part of a conference isn't the booth or the badge scans, it's the 10-minute chats with designers who love this work and just want tools that don't get in their way.

To everyone who stopped by at IDS: thank you. You reminded us who we build for.
