Design, real estate and contracting—Keisha Gilchrist's triple threat
from Trade Tales · host Business of Home
During her first career in marketing, Keisha Gilchrist slogged through a series of bad jobs. Between unlivable wages and male-dominated workplaces, the experiences gave her the fuel she needed to take the dive into design—now, as a real estate broker, design principal and general contractor, she’s finally in the driver’s seat on all fronts. The Washington, D.C.–based designer shares her journey as a woman working in construction, the client exercise she uses to manage sticker shock, and why she’s building in a cushion for the “what-if’s.”This episode is sponsored by Universal Furniture and Chelsea HouseLINKSKeisha GilchristKaitlin PetersenBusiness of Home
