Nina Takesh is a celebrated interior designer and entrepreneur whose path from corporate America to celebrity nursery design and luxury interiors is anything but conventional. In this episode, Rivki and Nina explore the intersections of artistic identity, personal sacrifice, and the invisible labor behind curated beauty.

They discuss navigating client dynamics, content creation fatigue, budget prioritization, the rise and fall of design trends, and the secret power of knowing when to stop. This is a masterclass in restraint, integrity, and the creative voice—on and offline.
