I started my design career working with Betsy Burnham. And when meeting with clients, she would often ask them about their top priorities: "Do you want the design to be good, fast, or cheap? Pick two, because you can't have all three at once." And, I swear, it's totally 100% true. Think about your top priorities... good and cheap? You'll spend hours and hours, weeks and weeks, trying to find the great deals! Therefore, not fast. Do you want the design to be good and completed fast? You'll be spending money through the nose to get pieces off the floor, and expedited. You might not shop around for better pricing, you might not get multiple bids for contracting work, etc. You'll be pushed for time. Therefore, not cheap. See? Totally true. That being said, our definitions of "good", "fast", and "cheap" are all relative. But overall, Good, Fast, or Cheap? is a pretty good rule of thumb.
Betsy was recently interviewed by the gals over at Lamps Plus. In the interview, she dishes over her favorite design tricks, her recent obsessions, and she provides some great design advice. Read the interview HERE.
