We recently connected with Cristina Hoyos And Melanie Weber and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Cristina Hoyos thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Who is your hero and why? What lessons have you learned from them and how have they influenced your journey?
For both of us our mentor is our mother, they show us the Importance of doing what we love, working hard, being Independent and present mothers. We are both mothers, so multitasking becomes a natural skill which Is key for this Industry.
We would like 10.Studio to be recognized Internationally. Traveling Is our passion, we would love to travel for work and design houses In many places!
We believe In sustainability , buying good pieces done by artisans that could be re upholstered /re finish In many years.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
10.Studio is boutique company that not only focuses on the esthetics but also on the customer service. We believe our client needs to feel their houses like their home so it should reflect their personalities. We focus on the clients needs and wants for their own house, we make sure they become a reality!
From new constructions to all the small details in your house we take care of every detail.
The best part is seeing the WOW factor in our clients faces when the project Is finished.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
We have been friends for many years, our families are friends! 6 years ago we decided to join forces and create 10.Studio. We are fortunate to have a very special relationship , we are not just partners but friends. Our kids are best friends, so sometimes we work together while our kids are playing together. At the end of the day we have something that not every entrepreneur has, we work and have fun at the same time!
Since Mel was little, she has never doubted that she wanted to be an Interior designer. Her mother was an Interior Designer In Ecuador. Mel would love to see her presentations and admired her mother’s work. After Mel got Independent and decided to grow the company, she partnered with Cris. This is when 10. Studio was created. Cris had her own business in the fashion Industry, she knew that design was her career. When Mel proposed this new business to her, it was an amazing challenge to start a new career. Now, Cris realizes that they go hand in hand once it comes to color schemes, textures, having a vision for design and working one on one with the client.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Word of mouth! Our clients are the most important marketing tool we have had. This is the reason we make sure they are happy until the end. We leave no hanging threads along the way.
The second tool has been Instagram, this has been a very important tool to bring in new clients.
