Designing Success

Text me and tell me what you think of this ep.

This week I’m   tackling the delicate topic of recognising and addressing red flags in client relationships for interior designers. I’ll talk through the importance of trusting one's instincts when a project doesn't feel right and offer strategies for gracefully declining work that doesn't align with your vision. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, listeners get a taste of  how to communicate effectively, maintain professional boundaries, and learn from challenging projects. This episode is an essential listen for designers looking to navigate client interactions confidently while protecting their creative integrity and business values. You may even recognise some red flags you've let slide in the past?

Please enjoy this interview with Kelly Donagher, founder of 13 Interiors, to explore her remarkable journey from a mining career to becoming a celebrated interior designer. Kelly's transition, fueled by her creative instincts and desire for change, spills the tea on the business of design.

How do you know when enough is enough? How can you tell the difference between "normal" feelings of startup business and actually no progress? 
When do you say, "okay, I'm done, I gave it my best"

Today's ep is heavy, it discusses feelings of failure and inadequacy.

Please reach out if it brings up similar feels for you and you need support.

In 2023, I learned some big lessons, I’ll be taking into 2024 with me. Kicking things off, launching my own online course for budding interior designers was a wild rollercoaster ride—packed with learning curves, a dash of copycat drama, and tons of grit. I did my best, stood firm on the side of authentic, quality-driven online education for creatives. And made a  major shift towards safeguarding my mental health and sparking personal growth. I dialed down the social media frenzy, choosing impactful connections over the endless scroll. This year was all about authenticity, innovation, and keeping it real—both for my community and me. Here’s to keeping it fresh, focused, and forward-moving!

In the season finale of Designing Success, Season 1, 

I'm letting you all in on a recent mentor session (well, half of it) with the hopes that something shared might support your business journey too. In this session we worked on how to conceptualise your content pillars and how to use them to match to your potential clients pain points and teach them that your business is the exact answer to the problem. 

Every Mentor session I run is totally different based on what you (the client) needs to workshop, a little like my design clients it's what keeps everything so fresh and exciting. 

If you'd like to schedule a session to look inside of your own business, reach out to check what the 2024 calendar is looking like.

I can't wait to help you reimagine your business ..
