Pam Durkin, ASID, LEED AP ID+C, is an interior designer, a business coach for interior designers, and a podcast host.
Originally from New Jersey and now based in Florida, Pam has been in the high-end interior design industry for 30 years. After 7 years of exclusively working in Commercial Design, she founded Pamela Durkin Designs, which specialises in Residential and Commercial Design in Florida.
Pam is a past president of ASID Florida South Chapter, served on the Board of Architecture and Design in NJ, and is the author of the book, Elevate!
She has progressively branched out into business coaching for Interior designers where she combines her experience and expertise to help interior designers find great clients.
I interviewed Pam in May 2022 prior to her launching her podcast Six-Figure Designer, which can be found on all the major podcast platforms, and talks about how to run a better design business featuring practical advice, techniques for success, and inspirational guests.
In this episode, we discover the importance of understanding yourself and really knowing who you want to work for.
How lifestyle choices can help stimulate shifts in your business.
Why designers should learn from each other and the importance of leapfrogging.
And why you need to be more like Sherlock Holmes.
