Episode 260 - Vic Jones - Smove Studio
In this episode I speak with Vic Jones from Smove Studio, a landscape design company based in Melbourne. Vic previously worked for past guest Nadia from Platylobium before achieving her goal of starting a business before she turned 25, which she turned last Monday. Even though Vic only started the business in February this year, some 8 months ago, there's some great advice to learn from her about the way she's gone about it. From having other employment in case she isn't overwhelmed with work in the early days, to putting a huge amount of thought into what type of projects she wants to work on and putting systems and processes in place.You can follow Vic on Instagram @smovestudioIf you're wanting to sign up to be on the mailing list for The Landscaping School, you can find the link here.You can follow along with the projects we're currently working on via our Instagram page@instyle_gardens@thelandscapingpodcastYou can view each episode on our YouTube channel
