This week, Rainey and Casey dive into something truly game-changing for any designer: the power of community and mentorship. They are joined by architecture and home design journalist Diane Cowen, a true force in the design world whose guidance has helped shape so many careers.

Rainey, Casey, and Diane talk about why showing up to industry events matters, how to build authentic relationships, and what it really means to ask for help and lean on your network. Diane brings so much wisdom and heart to the table, offering insight on how to navigate the design landscape with confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered how to grow in this field with others rather than alone, this episode is for you!
