The Hepburn Design story so far
Speaker: Deirdre Hardiman, founder, Hepburn Design
Deirdre Hardiman, winner of the Dublin City Enterprise 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the 2010 Rising Star Award, will talk about the story of Hepburn Design to date and she will share some of the strategies that have driven the company’s growth to date. She has grown her business in a very strategic way, utilising smart web marketing to bring people to her website and identifying early on how she can scale her business.
Deirdre is the face behind Hepburn Designs Ltd., a full service interior design house specialising in renovations and extensions, managing every detail of the project down to the last picture hung on the wall. Having spent her formative years in Orange County in California, Deirdre completed her degree at the University of San Diego. Not long after completing her education she headed off on a modern version of ‘The Grand Tour’. In total she spent seven years working in France, Greece and Spain. During this time she also traveled to other parts of Europe as well as Asia and Africa. This experience was invaluable as it provided a first hand perspective of a diverse and broad range of design in so many different cultures & has added greatly to her vision and know-how.
Deirdre returned to her native Dublin in 1999 after having lived abroad for 27 years. Upon her return she continued to pursue a lifelong passion for interior design, forming her first design company, Re-arranging rooms which re-used items people already had in their homes in a new and creative way. From the seed of this idea Designer for a Day™ was born.
