What do you do when a client insists on making design choices you can’t stand behind?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m sharing real stories and tough lessons from my early design career, including the moment I decided I’d never again let a client push me into delivering something I couldn’t be proud of.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a job where the client’s taste goes against your design principles, this episode will help you navigate it with confidence, ethics, and clarity.

In this episode, I cover:

• How to respond when the client insists on “bad” design
• The moment I learned to say “no” and protect my brand
• What to put in your letter of agreement to avoid blame
• How to gracefully back out of a job without burning bridges
• Why honoring your aesthetic is essential to long-term success
