What do you do when you're doing well in your corporate career but have an itch to try something completely new? Do you give up on the old dream for a new dream?
We chat with Beth Diana Smith - Owner and Principal Designer of Beth Diana Smith Interior Design, a New Jersey based interior design company. Beth, her work, and her design advice have been featured on television and in various print and online publications including NBC, HGTV, Vogue, EBONY, Design*Sponge, and The New York Times.
Beth dives into her pivot story and how she went from a successful corporate accountant to following her strengths (planning & budgeting) and building a new career in interior design. Beth outlines everything that made this pivot successful: learning the industry, building relationships & collaborating, goal-setting & more. She also opens up about the challenges she has encountered along the way and gives tips on why being purposeful with design is important for all dream drivers.
