New York–based designer Eneia White had been burning the candle at both ends to get her new firm going when the city ground to a halt at the onset of the pandemic. Forced to push pause, she was finally able to figure out what it’d take to break out of the busyness trap.
After leaving a job with tons of creative freedom to start her own firm in 2018, Eneia White had one speed: busy. The New York–based designer was saying yes to everything, but barely making ends meet. When the pandemic forced her to push pause, she finally had a moment to evaluate what was working in her business, find ways to compensate for what wasn’t going right, and lay the groundwork for landing bigger, better projects. The result? A new design package to offer clients, a new employee—even a new office. And best of all, a luxury clientele that is willing to pay her what she’s worth for an experience that feels like it’s worth it.
