1.
THE OBLIGER

Who You AreYou’re an obliger! You want to know what should be done, so you can do it the right way, and make sure you uphold outer expectations. You always find ease in following along with and committing to the standards that other people have for you, but when it comes to working on your own goals, you may find that you fall a bit flat. You thrive on external motivation, but don’t have as easy a time motivating yourself. It comes more naturally to you to see something through if you know someone else is counting on you. For example, when you know you want to commit to something, you’ll seek out assistance from others—even if indirect. If you decide you’d like to become a runner, you know you’ll have more success in joining a daily running club with a friend than simply setting a daily running goal of your own. What You NeedAccountability. When you know there’s someone expecting a certain result from you, you’re always going to deliver, because the structure of accountability is, for you, how you find your motivation. The Next Step In Your Home Building ProcessYou’d work best with an interior designer who is diligent about keeping the project moving along, while offering you expert advice and support. And, as luck would have it, I’m a big fan of providing that necessary support, and am more than happy to be your design project’s accountability partner.
2.
THE QUESTIONER

Who You AreYou’re a questioner! And you are not a fan of anything arbitrary, or inefficient, or irrational. You’re a very ‘make it make sense’ type of person. Trusting your inner intuition is a big part of how you operate, and you often spend a lot of time considering your options and thinking things through. It’s not uncommon for you to suffer from analysis-paralysis, because you feel more comfortable when you have a sense of clarity.You have some perfectionist tendencies, wanting everything to be set in stone before you move forward. If you don’t feel like a certain decision is right, you won’t do it; instead, you’ll wait until you’re certain that you’ve found the perfect solution. What You NeedJustification. You need to know that your next step is valid and just before you make it. Feeling justified in your decisions provides you the sense of security you’re seeking, and ensures that you’re making a good choice. The Next Step In Your Home Building ProcessYou’d work best with an interior designer who is happy to answer any and all of your questions, so you can rest assured knowing that your project is always on the right track. When you collaborate with me, I’m always available to you via Voxer voice note or instant message to chat with you about anything you have questions about.
3.
THE UPHOLDER

Who You AreYou’re an upholder! You find inner motivation easily, and you never have trouble meeting deadlines or expectations. You’re a very self-directed person, and you don’t need (or want) a lot of supervision when working on a project. Writing a ‘to-do’ list and mapping out your priorities is your idea of self-care, and you’re typically quite organised.In other words, you’re the one who never breaks a New Year’s resolution. However, this super-organised self-starter attitude often leaves you feeling a bit impatient when things don’t go as planned or stick to schedule. When something gets in the way of a seemingly solid plan, you feel annoyed and uncomfortable. What You NeedAnswers. You need to know what has to be done, and when it needs to be done by. You’re more than happy to exceed expectations, as long as you’re certain about what they are and how to complete the required tasks to make it happen. The Next Step In Your Home Building ProcessYou’d work best with an interior designer who is just as committed to quality and organisation as you are. And I’m nothing if not obsessed with order and planning!
4.
THE REBEL
Image Source
Who You AreYou’re a rebel! And you like to do things your way, on your time. You tend to resist expectations, whether they’re external or internal, and you don’t like when people tell you what to do. Your vibe is much more ‘you’re not the boss of me’ than ‘yes, sir!’ because you trust in your authentic self, and you’re confident that you’ll be able to make the best choices & take the best actions on your own. What You NeedFreedom. You can do anything you want to do, and all you need is the freedom to be able to do it. The Next Step In Your Home-Building ProcessYou’d work best with an interior designer who understands your affinity for doing your own thing, and doesn’t micromanage the way the project unfolds, but offers you the perfect amount of guidance and support you need to keep everything running smoothly. You can be the free spirit, and I’ll be your dash of structure on the side.
