Beyond the Portfolio: The Business Value of Confidential Design Projects (Educational)
Not every project is destined for social media, or even your portfolio. As more high profile and high net worth clients require non disclosure agreements or request complete privacy, designers must learn how to balance confidentiality with business growth. Join moderator Jane Dagmi of HPxD and panelists Claudine Roberts of Claudine Roberts Design, Shannon McGough of Poppy McGough Design House, and Melissa Oholendt of Oho Interiors as they discuss building a reputation through trust and referrals, leveraging discretion as a competitive advantage, and marketing your expertise without revealing client work. Discover why some of your most valuable projects may never be seen by the public.
Speakers: Jane Dagmi, Claudine Roberts, Shannon McGough, Melissa Oholendt
