On Monday in the morning I looked for a fabric for one of the designer. After lunch I went on a job with Sherlene. The job addresses one of the bedrooms for the home owners. It consists of the bed shirt, curtains, bed comforter, and a table coverlet. The job had complications and it was good to see how the designer handled each of them. We also had to stop by another client’s house. She had trouble visualizing the furniture piece in her living room. The client wanted to see the chair and a side table in their home. I helped decided on a fabric for the chair. The client decided to keep the side table for the living room.
On Tuesday Rachel and I went out to the warehouse to sort all the items for Marsha job. Marsha who is the owner has a big job next week in Florida. She is flying a group of people to help with the job consisting of one designer, drapery, and someone to alter the fabrics. We had all the purchase orders for the job and had to locate all of the items. On Wednesday Rachel couldn’t come in until lunch. I called vendors about pricing. I also assisted two designers with task they need done. Natalie needed me to find fabrics that she used for a client. I located all the fabrics for her. The rest of the day I went through discontinue list for different vendors. Thursday was a slow day. After lunch the whole firm through me a goodbye party. It was amazing for me to see how much the designers appreciate my hard work. The rest of day I organized Braxton Culler into categories. On Friday it was my last day. I continued putting up the Braxton Culler. I also went through the discontinues of Braxton Culler. This experience taught me more than just about interior designer.
On the firm website they have their mission statement and the designer philosophy. Yessick’s Design Center’s will provide their clients with three important elements. The first is “to provide a beautiful, creative, and functional design atmosphere.” The second is “to provide superb customer service and quality at a competitive price.” The third is “to provide a unique shopping experience with a presentation that exceeds all others.”
This is Marla who is the Manager of Yessick’s Design Center. She has been there since the business started with Marsha. Marla knows everything about the business and about all the designer’s projects. She handles all the purchase order and keeping up with the status on them. I feel so bad when most of the calls are for her, because she is very busy.
