Today we welcome Ali Faulkner of AEF Interiors, a full-service design studio based in Costa Mesa, California. In this episode, Ali shares how her hospitality background instilled a high level of service when developing her design business model and her perspective on the client experience. We also discuss Ali's emphasis on detailed documentation to translate the design journey to clients, contractors, and artisans and its impact on building trust and referrals.  Ali's systems and documentation are top-notch from the first interaction with the client to the very end. Everyone involved is always aware of the next step of the process and is prepared to move forward, eliminating room for confusion, miscommunication, or errors.
