Custom Interiors Looking for the Right Connections

[Marcos Diaz]

Hi everyone,

My name is Marcos, and I’m based in Sarasota, FL.
I’m starting a new venture focused on high-end custom interiors, including architectural woodwork, built-ins, wall panels and stone feature walls.

Although I’m new as an entrepreneur in this specific market, I have hands-on experience in the trade and a strong background in custom execution and premium finishes. My goal is to connect with the right partners, not just clients.

I’d love advice on:

• Who should I be connecting with first? (architects, designers?)

• What partnerships have worked best for you when launching a specialty trade business?

• Any groups, meetups or professionals you recommend in the Sarasota / Tampa Bay area?

Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing as well.
Thanks in advance!
