1. When a new project lands in your inbox, what’s your first instinct? *

A. Start sketching the big vision: mood boards, concepts, the dream.

B. Open every app at once: email, Pinterest, your to-do list, a spreadsheet you’ll abandon by Tuesday.

C. Build a full project plan with phases, milestones, and a materials tracker before you even pick a paint color.

D. Say yes immediately, then quietly panic about whether you can actually pull it off at this scale.

2: How do you handle technical drawings: floor plans, elevations, construction docs? *

A. I sketch concepts but honestly, translating them into technical docs is where I lose momentum.

B. I do them myself. It takes forever, but I don’t trust anyone else to get them right.

C. I outsource when I can, but I’ve been burned by bad quality before.

D. I’m still figuring out what level of documentation my projects actually require.

3. It’s 11pm on a Wednesday. What are you most likely doing? *

A. Redoing a rendering for the third time because the lighting isn’t quite right.

B. Answering client emails I should have sent three days ago.

C. Deep in a Pinterest spiral for a project that doesn’t start for two months.

D. Watching a YouTube tutorial on something I need for a project due Friday.

4. What’s your biggest bottleneck right now? *

A. I have the ideas but not the technical team to execute them at the level I want.

B. Everything takes too long because I’m the only one doing it.

C. Scope creep, revision chaos, and clients who don’t understand the process.

D. I spend more time perfecting details than actually moving projects forward.

5. How would your clients describe working with you? *

A. “She has incredible taste and always sees what a space could become.”

B. “She’s amazing but sometimes hard to reach — I think she’s just really busy.”

C. “Every single detail is perfect. She doesn’t miss anything.”

D. “She’s so talented for how early she is in her career — I’m excited to see where she goes.”

6. What does your current project management system look like? *

A. A beautiful Notion setup I spent two days building and haven’t opened since.

B. Sticky notes, voice memos, and whatever’s open on my desktop.

C. A detailed spreadsheet with every task, deadline, and status tracked.

D. I’m still looking for a system that works for my workflow.

7. If you could snap your fingers and fix one thing in your business, it would be: *

A. Having a technical partner who can match the quality of my vision — renderings, drawings, the works.

B. Cloning myself so I’m not the designer, the project manager, the bookkeeper, and the intern.

C. A system that keeps clients, revisions, and timelines from spiraling out of control.

D. Confidence that my technical documentation is actually at the level it needs to be.

8. When you see another designer’s stunning project photos online, your first thought is: *

A. “I could design that. I just need someone to help me produce the technical side.”

B. “How does she have time for that? I can barely keep up with my current projects.”

C. “I wonder what her process is — her specs must be so clean.”

D. “That’s where I want to be in two years.”

9. How do you feel about delegating design-related tasks? *

A. I’d love to but I haven’t found someone whose work meets my standards.

B. I know I need to, but it feels faster to just do it myself.

C. I try, but things always come back needing heavy revisions.

D. I’m not at the stage where I can afford to hire help yet.

10. What would make the biggest difference in your next project? *

A. Photorealistic 3D renderings that actually sell the vision to my client.

B. Someone handling the backend — CAD drawings, specs, documentation — so I can focus on design.

C. A spec sheet system that keeps every detail organized from kickoff to install.

D. Professional-grade documentation that makes me look like I’ve been doing this for 15 years.
