At Design Manager, we talk a lot about the importance of strong operations for interior design businesses, because they have so many details and moving parts that have to be managed efficiently and without fail. Without a standard process for handling business and a diligent eye to make sure nothing is forgotten, it’s too easy to fall behind on bookkeeping, forgetting to invoice a client, or missing a major deadline.

That’s why we jumped at the opportunity to interview Tina Murray, VP of Operations for Decorators Unlimited, an end-to-end luxury design firm that employs 80 and has projects around the world. Here, Tina shares some key tips that she’s learned along the way, and what it takes to become a large, internationally respected design firm.
