Ready to break through perfectionism and take action in your business?

I dive into why so many designers get stuck in procrastination and how I help my clients move past it with simple, actionable steps. I share my philosophy, done is better than perfect, and explain exactly how focusing on progress over polish can help you seize new opportunities and keep your business momentum going.

I walk through specific strategies I teach inside the Luxury Client Academy, from leveraging your closest connections for better referrals to building powerful outreach habits that don’t take hours or require the perfect script.

If you’re ready to stop relying on luck or chasing shiny objects, I’ll show you how to build a business rooted in real relationships and smart systems. You don’t need more followers, you need the right people talking about you.

Listen in, take action, and let’s build a design business you love with less stress and more results.

I’d love to hear your stories, celebrate your wins, and connect with you about what’s working in your world.

Talk to you next episode. Keep designing, keep connecting, and let's keep growing.

In this episode, I dive into some of the biggest challenges I hear from designers and business owners like what to do when referrals slow down, how to attract higher-quality clients with bigger budgets, and how to stand out in a crowded online space without feeling like you’re bragging.

I talk about practical ways to connect with high-net-worth clients and why it’s so important to focus on the quality of your referral activities rather than obsessing over immediate results.

Through stories and real coaching examples, I explore how building consistent, meaningful relationships can lead to your best projects, even if it doesn’t happen overnight. If you’re ready to shift your referral strategy and learn how to have more intentional conversations that grow your business, this episode is for you.

Tune in and let’s make your referral process more intentional, more effective, and ultimately more rewarding.

What happens when you take a group of powerhouse designers out of their routines and drop them into one of the most luxurious zip codes in the country?

You get breakthroughs. Big ones.

In this episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at The Naples Experience—my private, in-person retreat exclusively for members of the Luxury Client Academy.

We toured multi-million-dollar homes, shared what’s actually working in high-end design, and cracked open the mindsets that lead to fewer, better clients, and bigger profit.

You’ll hear:

• 10 powerful takeaways straight from our attendees
• Why being in luxury spaces is not a splurge, it’s essential R&D
• The real conversations we had about pricing, profit, and pressure (yes, even seasoned pros feel it)
• If you’ve ever thought, “I need to be in a room with people who get it,” this is that room. And it’s waiting for you next year.

Applications are open now for The Luxury Client Academy—my 9-month coaching program for interior designers ready to sign luxury clients, raise their profit, and finally stop chasing the next project.

Want to see your design work in a magazine?

In this episode, I’m talking with longtime editor Michael Korb about what actually makes a design project press-worthy.

Whether you’re just getting started or have a few publications under your belt, this conversation will give you practical, behind-the-scenes insight on how to get your work noticed.

If getting published is on your radar this year, you’ll want to listen in.

We toss around words like “niche” and “pain points” like confetti. But let’s be honest—niching down feels terrifying when you’re worried it might shut doors or limit your future.

But what if choosing your niche didn’t box you in—but actually set you free?

In this powerful podcast episode, designer Jill Kalman of Jill Kalman Interiors shares the real story of how she leaned into her unique voice, owned her niche, and now feels more confident, clear, and creatively fulfilled than ever before. You’ll hear how making that bold decision changed everything for her—her projects, her referrals, and her day-to-day joy.

And here's the exciting part—at my signature in-person event, the Naples Experience (June 4–6), you'll have the chance to do the same. One of our guest speakers will walk you through the process of identifying and claiming your own niche, so you can build a business that actually supports your strengths—and your lifestyle.

If you’re ready to finally stop second-guessing and get clear on where your business is headed, email me at [email protected] with the subject line Naples Experience. Let’s make this the year you own your space—and thrive in it.
