Don't be shy to get recommendations:

Ask for recommendations from colleagues, friends and family members. Visit the website and view the designer's Facebook and Instagram page to see portfolios. This way you will know if their style suits your taste. If the designer's design style is modern and minimalist, and you connect to a retro vintage style, you probably won't fit together. Ask for recommendations on other customers who have gone through the process with the designer.


Do a market survey:
