104: Your Interior Design Feasibility Package

Are you tired of doing unpaid work for clients? Do you create preliminary plans, gather estimates, and offer advice, all without compensation? What if you could get paid for that upfront work? Most designers don't realize they can (and should) charge for the early stages of a project.
