		<description><![CDATA[Listening. It seems like such a simple thing to do, especially in a service oriented industry like mine. However, you'd be amazed at how many times I meet with a new client and they tell me that they need a room redone because the last interior designer didn't give them what they wanted. Why? It's simple.  The designer didn't listen.  That's where the first of our Three Essential C's of Interior Design comes in. In our C3Design strategy, the first and crucial step is CONNECTING with our clients. Every client is unique and one of the main benefits of having a interior designer is that you should end up with a completely custom space that reflects YOUR indivuduality and YOUR tastes.  Not the other way around.]]></description>
