Hi, I’m Genevieve Guoin, Certified Interior Designer
​— but most people call me gg.

Interior Design Hotline was born from a deep love for design and a passion for helping others succeed in their creative careers. Since entering the field in 2008, I’ve worked in firms both large and small, collaborating on commercial offices, restaurants, and residential projects. My time in CREW San Diego sparked a deeper passion for education and mentorship, and I knew I wanted to give back to the design community in a meaningful way.

In 2024, I launched GDG Designs, my own interior design firm — but something was missing. I realized I craved the connection, collaboration, and energy that comes from working with other designers. That’s when Interior Design Hotline came to life: a platform where interior designers can access expert guidance, practical tools, and personalized support at every stage of their careers.
​
Since then, I’ve helped emerging and established designers gain clarity, build confidence, and find direction — whether they’re just starting out, shifting career paths, or simply feeling stuck.

Why Work With Me?

You could say I’ve sat in every seat around the hiring table — and that gives me a unique lens when it comes to helping designers grow their careers.
​

• I’ve been in your shoes — applying, interviewing, negotiating offers, and figuring out what I actually wanted from my design career.
• I’ve led the hiring process — crafting job postings, reviewing hundreds of resumes and portfolios, and conducting interviews for a range of positions.
• I’ve even worked for a recruiting firm, where I learned how to scan thousands of applicants and spot the best of the best.
  
  

In other words: I know what hiring managers are looking for, and I know how to help you show up as that candidate — confidently and authentically.
