When I got promoted and got my own office, my favorite part was decorating my office. I started to think the film business may not be right for me. If I loved decorating and designing that much, I figured Interior Design was a better career for me.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I went back to school to the UCLA design program. While I was in school, I got a job working for Kelly Wearstler as an intern, which turned into a full-time job. I worked there for a couple of years, and then I worked for a company called Atelier AM, all in high-end residential interior design. I started my own firm about twelve years ago and I&#8217;ve been working mostly on residential design ever since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">roomLift started as a spin-off of my full-service company. I saw about five years ago that the design world, industry, and customers were changing. There was no longer a barrier for customers to find good design pieces themselves. But there was still a need for Interior Designers to guide people on how to collect multiple styles and put them together to satisfy a person&#8217;s desires. I wanted to change my service so that I could just provide that guidance and allow people to buy their own products. That&#8217;s how roomLift was born. Then it turned into its own company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used to do the design for all roomLift customers, but we pivoted about a year ago. We built roomLift into a platform that any professional interior designer can use to service clients in the same way. It allows for \u2018\u00e0 la carte\u2019 service. If a customer just wants a little bit of design help, they can still access a professional designer who\u2019s had years of real world experience. The technology that we&#8217;ve put into place packages projects for designers so that they don&#8217;t have to do a lot of the upfront work with a client. They just get to do the design. That&#8217;s where we are today!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f13b348 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f13b348\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 29-01-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/san-francisco-04-29-2022-headshot-90_original-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-11391 wp-image-11395\" alt=\"Roomlift\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/san-francisco-04-29-2022-headshot-90_original-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/san-francisco-04-29-2022-headshot-90_original-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/san-francisco-04-29-2022-headshot-90_original-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/san-francisco-04-29-2022-headshot-90_original-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/san-francisco-04-29-2022-headshot-90_original-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fa8f9af elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fa8f9af\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-831bf23\" data-id=\"831bf23\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63e91d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"63e91d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How would you describe your personal design style?

It&#8217;s a wonderful natural fit for designers to come onto our platform if they\u2019re already thinking about encapsulating a project so that they can pass it on to a client to implement.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do also have designers who are interested in roomLift that are coming from a more traditional Interior Design service where they stand with the client all the way. That becomes a learning curve. We have a lot of information to help designers transition to this different way of working. We work with people and meet them wherever they are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Designers who hadn&#8217;t thought of working this way are finding that we&#8217;ve already figured it out and we&#8217;ve got all these systems in place.

We can work with people in many different ways, but there are three standard options that you&#8217;ll see when you first come to roomLift.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first option is to book 20 minutes of someone&#8217;s design time on a video call. You might ask a designer, \u201cHow should I rearrange this space? What&#8217;s missing here? How would you lay out this tile?\u201d We can offer that guidance without being fully immersed in the project.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our second offering is called an accessoryLift. That is for people who have most of their big pieces of furniture, but want it to come together and have that \u201cdesigner\u201d touch. Usually we add some wallpaper, drapes, a couple of accessories, art, etc. It&#8217;s a great program for people who are moving and want to make what they had before fit into a new space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The full flagship product is the roomLift. That\u2019s an entire room of furnishings, a scaled floor plan, and options for rugs, paint, wall coverings, accessories, art, etc. Often people will work on two or three rooms at a time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also have a lot of people who come in and say, \u201cI&#8217;m doing my whole house. How can I work with you?\u201d We work on custom proposals in those cases depending on how much help is needed. We&#8217;re really there and able to talk with anybody to make roomLift work for their project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2b47bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e2b47bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/roomLift_Tasha_DiningRoom_BeforeandAfter-1024x644.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-11391 wp-image-11397\" alt=\"design by roomlift\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/roomLift_Tasha_DiningRoom_BeforeandAfter-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/roomLift_Tasha_DiningRoom_BeforeandAfter-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/roomLift_Tasha_DiningRoom_BeforeandAfter-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/roomLift_Tasha_DiningRoom_BeforeandAfter-1536x966.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/roomLift_Tasha_DiningRoom_BeforeandAfter.jpg 1646w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f7bcd60 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f7bcd60\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c5d277\" data-id=\"1c5d277\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fd8d3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0fd8d3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is there anything that you're working on with roomLift that you're really excited about for the future?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7be315c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7be315c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1967283\" data-id=\"1967283\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-243f788 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"243f788\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s definitely about growing more designer availability.

I&#8217;m really excited to be able to offer advice from many different designers all in one place.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re also starting to build the designer village program, which provides support for designers. As a designer, when you\u2019re working alone on a project and you get stuck, a lot of times you have questions. We&#8217;re creating a space where designers can ask each other these questions.
