Business of Home, November 2021

In the November 19, 2021 Business of Home article “Does your firm quiet down or get busier during the holidays?”, Georgia Zikas of Georgia Zikas Design shares how her practice navigates the year-end season.

Georgia explains that while clients do travel more around the holidays and communication tends to slow, her firm keeps a steady design pace throughout the season. She notes, “Our clients definitely travel more around the holidays, and we observe a week of shutdown between Christmas and New Year’s, but our consistent design workflow is such that we are quickly slammed starting January 2, so we work right up to Christmas Eve, then all relax for a week with our families knowing we’ll be back at it come the new year.”

Her insight was part of a broader roundup where leading designers discussed whether the holiday period brings a lull or a surge in project activity. Georgia’s perspective underscores her commitment to client service and balance, showing how even in traditionally quieter weeks her team maintains momentum while honoring time with family.
