Today With Ashley La Fond:

Are you delivering beautiful spaces that truly work for your clients’ lifestyles? In this episode of A Well-Designed Business, I’m joined by Ashley La Fond, founder of Of Space & Mind, to explore how professional organizers can revolutionize your design process.

We dive into the ways Ashley collaborates with designers—like helping clear spaces before a project begins, ensuring every drawer and cabinet works for a client’s unique needs, and even creating a seamless move-in experience. From maximizing function to complementing beauty, Ashley shares how her expertise can enhance your designs and create a truly elevated client experience.

LuAnn Nigara and Ashley La Fond’s Ah-Ha Moments:

“When beauty and function come together, that’s when clients are not just satisfied—they’re wowed.” – LuAnn Nigara

“Pre-planning and clearing a space before a project doesn’t just make the renovation smoother—it helps uncover what truly matters to the client, so the design can reflect their needs.” – Ashley La Fond

“Designing a space is about more than making it look good—it’s about creating flow and functionality that fit seamlessly into a client’s life.” – Ashley La Fond

“A truly elevated client experience means they can walk into their newly designed home and start living without the overwhelm of figuring out where everything goes.” – Ashley La Fond
