Description: This is part one of a three-part series on working with interior designers. If you have been wondering how to get your art in front of designers, where to find them, how to reach out, and what to send, this episode is your starting point. Hayley shares the memory from working with interior designer Courtney Agosti that changed how she thinks about being memorable as a vendor, why a PDF portfolio is non-negotiable, and the outreach approach that actually gets a response.  Subscribe to Paper Trail on Substack for the full written breakdown including the four sources for finding designers, the outreach template, and everything that goes in the PDF. Part two drops next Tuesday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
