We recently connected with Brittany Veney and have shared our conversation below.
Brittany, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Quality control is a challenge almost every entrepreneur has had to focus on when growing – any advice, stories or insight around how to best ensure quality is maintained as your business scales?
Maintaining quality as B. Real Creative Studio grew was fundamental to our reputation and client satisfaction. We implemented rigorous quality control measures specific to brand and website design services to ensure consistency and excellence in every project.
First and foremost, we invest heavily in training, design platforms and client management systems to uphold our quality standards. Furthermore, all of our team members are trained on design principles, client communication, and project management. This ensures that everyone understands our commitment to quality and can deliver accordingly.
In addition to training, we established clear processes and workflows for each stage of the design process. From initial client consultations to final delivery, every step was carefully documented and standardized to maintain consistency and efficiency.
Regular quality audits are another essential component of our quality control strategy. We conduct thorough reviews of design work at key milestones to identify any deviations from our standards and address them promptly. This proactive approach helped us catch potential issues early on and maintain the integrity of our work.
One memorable example of the importance of our quality controls was when we were tasked with branding a well-known educational institution. Despite the pressure and tight deadlines, our adherence to quality processes ensured that we delivered a brand identity that exceeded the client’s expectations and resonated with their target audience.
Our commitment to quality not only earned us praise from clients but also contributed to our growth and reputation in the industry. My advice for those concerned about quality control as they grow is to prioritize it from the outset, invest in training and processes, and consistently evaluate and refine your approach to ensure continued excellence.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Absolutely! There are a couple of resources that have had a profound impact on my management and entrepreneurial thinking:
“Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss: This book, written by a former FBI negotiator, offers invaluable insights into the art of negotiation. Voss’s techniques and strategies for effective communication and negotiation have not only enhanced my management skills but also improved my ability to navigate business challenges and relationships.
“The Law of Divine Compensation” by Marianne Williamson: Williamson’s book explores the spiritual principles underlying abundance and success in both personal and professional life. Her teachings on aligning with divine principles to achieve prosperity and fulfillment have profoundly influenced my entrepreneurial mindset, helping me approach business with a sense of purpose and spiritual alignment.
These resources have provided me with valuable wisdom and practical strategies that continue to shape my management philosophy and entrepreneurial journey.
