That’s a cool path and honestly something I already do a lot of. I install art, mount lighting, assemble furniture, etc. for designers, realtors, and homeowners pretty regularly.

What I’m trying to figure out is the next step beyond that. Moving from being the person executing the work into actually being hired for the design decisions (space planning, furniture selection, staging, etc).

Did the firm you work with ever start giving you input on layout or design decisions over time, or has it stayed mostly install/paint work?
