061: Help and Encouragement for Designers
with Amy Ferrer
On the podcast today is Amy Ferrer of Miko and Boone Home. Amy and I have been friends for quite a few years. Probably since 2013 when I met her through another colleague. Amy is just one of a kind and I'm so excited to bring this podcast to you today. What we're going to talk about is her journey and how she uses that to encourage others.
Amy started off as a drapery workroom and she definitely has a heart for designers. I don't think I've ever met anybody who expresses their passion the way Amy does.

Thoughts from Amy:
Sewing wasn’t my passion. My passion was meeting with the clients.
We are always looking at a better way of doing things.
I am a present at the moment, but I am always looking down the road.
If you have something tugging in your heart, you have to follow it.
It is so easy to feel discouraged.
We are all creatives.
We have all “been there” and you are not alone.
We love for designers to feel as if we are a part of their team.
I believe design is here to stay. We all have a talent.
The benefits of people to having a designer is to have someone with an eye and a plan.
We all make mistakes. Give yourself some grace.
