Great question, Louis.
As a residential designer, technology has become a huge part of how I run my business. Revit is at the center of my design process, but I've also found AI tools incredibly helpful for marketing, content creation, brainstorming, and refining communication.
One thing I've noticed is that AI doesn't replace expertise. It helps me work through ideas faster so I can spend more time focused on clients and design work. For a small business owner who wears a lot of hats, that can make a big difference.
I'm also finding that digital marketing, analytics, and online reviews have become just as important as traditional networking and referrals.
I'm excited to see where AI goes over the next five years, especially for helping small businesses compete with larger companies that have bigger teams and budgets.
