On this week’s episode, we welcome Billy Cotton, an interior designer whose work is defined by clarity, confidence, and a deep respect for history—spaces that feel both bold and enduring. 

We talk about his upbringing, what it means to lose everything in a sudden house fire, and how starting over created an openness to forging an entirely new creative path. Billy is deeply imaginative, but what struck me most was his practicality—his understanding of how to work with clients, serve real needs, and navigate the balance between art and commerce without losing integrity.

His work may cut through with strength, but this conversation is surprisingly tender.
