So many design professionals dream of hiring an office manager to, well, manage the office day-to-day. What’s that like? What are the benefits and challenges of adding this person to your team? What should you pay for the service? Should this person be a designer? In this episode, non-designer Hilaire Martin, answers all these questions and more.

In this episode we learn:
- what’s the difference between a COO and an Office Manager
- what size firm would benefit from an office manager
- be honest with yourself, it’s OK if your current process isn't working
