We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Starting your own business is never a smooth road. Entrepreneurship is an emotional rollercoaster for sure. The struggles range from feelings of extreme accomplishment to utter fear you’re never going to get another client and everything is over. I’m learning to take everything in stride and believe in myself and my abilities and talent. There is a natural ebb and flow in businesses and I’m learning to not take that personally.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the J.Fisher Interiors story. Tell us more about the business.
I’m the owner of a full-service interior design firm in Austin, TX known for Fusing clean architecture with vintage and modern furniture pieces and decorative arts, I specialize in creating unique custom interiors that are casually elegant yet comfortable. My adventurous and skilled eye for interior design merges with my ability to read and understand my client’s though my education in psychology. I ask unique questions that allow me to get to know my client’s in a way other designers don’t.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
None of this is luck. I’ve worked really hard to develop my network and create business. The only luck that plays into this scenario is in the parents I was blessed with. They taught me I could do anything I put my mind to.
