In this eleventh episode of the Creative Solopreneur Podcast, I’m talking with Erica Swanson from Erica Swanson Design. Erica offers interior design services for people “who shudder at the thought” of hiring an interior designer. She specializes in virtual interior design for clients who live outside the western Greater Toronto area. One of her clients refers to her aesthetic sensibility as “contemporary meets eff you antique.” Another praises her “meth-amphetamine mind.” Erica’s blog is a cache of love letters to her two favorite passions, design and music. If you’re a creative solopreneur or a visually oriented person, I think you’ll love this interview.

Here are the cool people and things mentioned in our conversation:

Listen in as Erica shares tips for what to do in the exploratory phase of your entrepreneurial journey, why she wrote her design manifesto, her advice for choosing and working with a creative professional, and advice for the times when you feel “non-believe-y” about your creative work.

P.S. Erica will be hanging around in the comments to respond to any questions you may have. :)

P.S.S. Someday I may hire Erica to design me a studio around my love of Feist, Iron and Wine, and rap music.
