Interior design is about living in a home that brings you joy and inspires you.  
Contrary to popular belief, you can live in a home that you love without "being good at design" or having a big bank account.
Could your own beliefs be what is sabotaging your dreams for your home and not your current circumstances (i.e. money, design talent, kids, house size, etc.)?

My guest is an expert at helping first-time home buyers, the most "house poor" of us all, create plans that move them forward on their visions for homes that they can be proud of.  First Home Design Expert, Jessica Velazquez, shares how her journey across the continents and the commonality between all the people that she was able to help lead her to see where she could shine her bright light into the world.  By combining her experience in real estate with her training, innate ability, and passion for interior design; she could help brand new home owners take decisive action on their new home no matter the size of their budget.  She shares with you her secrets that anyone can use to begin to take action.  She even has a gift to help you at the end of the episode!

With a newly minted design degree in hand, Jessica returned to her native Panama to launch her interior design career.  But frustration with the quality of workmanship and other resources lead her to a real estate business.  She got to step into her passion to help others and experience the magic of assisting people in seeing a new path forward in locating the perfect new home for them.  As life took her and her family back and forth from North America (Canada) to Central America, Jessica recognized that the singular thing that all buyers had in common was a dream for the home that they were purchasing. 

Taking a deeper look at the reasons that she didn't take decisive design action helped her recognize that she could help new homeowners in a way that no one else was.  She could devise systems that would help first time home buyers transform their new purchases into homes that they could love and be proud of even if there wasn't a large budget to do so.  By looking at her own life retrospectively she saw how she could bring her design savvy and training to a much larger audience and help others avoid the regret she experienced by not doing the things that could have made her home a more functional and joyful place to be. 

Jessica and I have so many similar beliefs about how important your home (whether you own or rent) is to how you feel and function in life.  We had so much fun sharing our paths to discovering these truths.
