The Finishing Touch with Stephanie Purzycki

“I time block and I say, ‘This is going to be the time specific to managing the business.’ Being able to manage my time correctly and know when I’m doing what. In this post COVID era where we’re all working remotely, being able to connect face to face is also important. So, our weekly zoom calls, those are important to stay connected and really understand what everybody else is working on.” – Stephanie Purzycki

As a new mom, Stephanie Purzycki found herself on an endless string of playdates with her little one at different homes, but everyone seemed to have the same question. Whenever a new friend found out that she was an interior designer, they inevitably started to ask for her design advice. Now, five years later, Stephanie is the co-founder and CEO of The Finish, a design company with an on-demand platform that pairs clients with interior designers. The Finish’s focus is on accessible in-home, in-person design with seasoned professionals.  Today, we’re chatting with Stephanie about those playdates that came to inspire The Finish, some of the most important business tools in her arsenal, and how her company decides what locations to expand to. 

We talked about:  

• Entrepreneurship is 24/7 (07:27)
• Successfully scaling a business is dependent on trusted relationships (08:42)
• Time management is the key to entrepreneurship (10:06)
• Expanding and marketing to different markets (14:45)
• Stephanie’s design advice (16:27)
• Why The Finish practices budget accessibility and price transparency (17:28
