Today we’d like to introduce you to Jude Kamal.
Hi Jude, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m an interior designer and a lover for all things design. I love creating and exploring new design concepts. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be an artist, and then I somehow stumbled across being a designer.
Sansa Interiors Inc. revolves around creating full-blown interior design services, mainly serving Toronto and the GTA. We focus on the functionality of spaces and bringing a tailored and holistic approach to our clients. Our designs are wild and bold, infused with a balance of colour, volume, and layering through texture. We do both high-end custom residential and commercial design, so each project is different and unique.
I started this business one week before COVID-19, and by the time we registered and launched the business, it was April of 2020, so at the rise of the pandemic. It was the craziest roller coaster ride ever and a huge challenge to take on.
Being an entrepreneur had its own set of challenges, from hiring a team to getting sales, learning to put off fires, to making sure projects are on track… PLUS, I’m doing the actual design work! I spent a week scribbling a quick goals and objectives plan, as well as a sketch of how I see this operating. My goal is to continue to bootstrap the company instead of seeking funding.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road is never smooth, it always has bumps, and that’s what makes it fun and exciting. Growing and running a business has its own set of pain points and struggles. The biggest challenge is to scale the company without compromise. What you did last year will no longer work today if you have grown, so you constantly need to be open-minded and think of smart ways to overcome challenges without compromising your team, your work-life balance, and the work you are providing to clients.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
