KEY TAKEAWAYS
We must place great importance in trusting our instincts, especially when it comes to making decisions about clients, projects, and design choices.
In a male-dominated industry, Ingrid highlights the significance of maintaining a professional demeanour, setting boundaries, and commanding respect while working on building sites and with construction teams.
It’s vital to deliver high-quality work that lasts, even if it means investing more upfront. Building long-lasting relationships with clients through quality work is key.
Ingrid discusses the importance of building a virtual team with various tradespeople and professionals to ensure the successful delivery of projects. Effective communication and collaboration are essential.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the biggest problem with the job that I do is it's all the elements to it. So you can design a project but you've actually now got to deliver."

“What I really liked that you said then as well was you're creating a virtual team with the different projects even though it's not necessarily a team in a traditional sense."

“Don’t underestimate the business side of it because otherwise you just end up if you treat it like a hobby it will pay you like a hobby."



This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Ingrid Batcup is an Interior Designer and works from her Studio based in Gower, Wales.

Her career has spanned over 35 years and has seen her undertake both residential and commercial projects all over the U.K. and Europe.

She firmly believes that a good working relationship between client and Designer is vital to achieve the best results in any project and therefore maintains that a client must not only like the work of a Designer but also must feel that they can interact well with them.

This philosophy she believes has been the key to her success as her commissions have been from returning clients and recommendations.
