SAN DIEGO – “Should You Charge Design Fees?” 

Spoiler alert: Yes, according to Karen Rolleri, chief organization officer and founder of Organizeology.
 

Rolleri will present her reasoning for why closet professionals should charge clients for their designs at the Closets Conference, April 27, 2022. What’s more, she will explain how to get the client to agree to pay a design fee. 

Rolleri, who launched Organizeology in 2007, was featured in the September/October issue of Closets & Organized Storage.  The profile story came on the heels of Rollieri winning the 2021 Top Shelf Design Awards Best of Show prize for her “Modern Industrial Garage.”

The annual Closets Conference is co-organized by Closets & Organized Storage and the Association of Closet and Storage Professionals. 

Other Closets Conference sessions include:

• Opening Keynote presented by Laurie Haefele, Associate AIA, ASID, NKBA, of Haefele Design Inc.;
• Magic Numbers and Financial Impacts presented by Tim Coleman of SCE Unlimited; and
• Organizing Your Business presented by Jane Stoller, founder and CEO of Organized Jane.

The full-day Closets Conference, which runs concurrently with the Wood Pro Conference, will be capped by a tour of a local manufacturing facility. The two-day Closets Expo, co-located with Wood Pro Expo California, follows on April 28-29 at the San Diego Convention Center. (View three-day event schedule.)
