| 6/3/26 | EOFY - tips for interior designers | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. Most interior designers hit 30 June without ever looking down. This episode covers the end of financial year financial habits solo interior design studio owners actually need — from reading your P&L without panic, to auditing subscriptions, pre-purchasing annual software, and having a planning meeting that changes the next 12 months. Practical, no-accountant-jargon, built for Australian designers running their studio like a business. → Get ... | 35m 27s | ||||||
| 5/27/26 | Ewa Doherty on starting and scaling with an exit strategy | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. Starting an interior design business with an exit strategy — rather than building it to keep forever — is one of the most overlooked approaches to studio setup. In this episode, regional NSW designer Ewa shares how she built her supply selection and B2B builder service with saleable IP in mind from day one: documented systems, transferable processes, a packaged service model, and zero dependence on her personal creative genius to deliver results... | 57m 59s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | The client who says: "I just need someone to execute my vision," This is why I don't work with them anymore. | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. When an interior design client says "I just need someone to execute my vision," they've already decided they're the designer and you're the logistics coordinator. Rhiannon Lee explains what's actually happening in those moments, how to catch it early in the discovery call, and how to use the parachute cord method to realign — or exit — a project that's drifted into fulfillment-only territory. → Join the Studio Build July cohort http... | 23m 05s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | Are you over-delivering in your proposal? | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. Interior designers often over-deliver at proposal stage — sharing mood boards, design direction, and creative strategy before a client has signed or paid a deposit. This episode asks whether that's genuinely good service or anxiety dressed up as process. Rhiannon Lee, AI strategist for Australian interior designers, unpacks where the habit comes from, what it costs you, and why simpler proposals might actually convert better. → Join the Studio B... | 28m 28s | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | Why AI is making hourly billing dangerous for interior designers | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. Value pricing means charging for the outcome your client gets, not the hours it took you to deliver it. In 2026, that distinction matters more than ever — because AI is making designers faster, and if you're still billing by the hour, that efficiency is going quietly to your client's pocket, not yours. Rhiannon Lee, AI strategist for Australian interior designers, breaks down exactly how to calculate, set, and communicate value-based project fee... | 47m 53s | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | “You’re Behind” Is the biggest lie in AI right now. | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. AI is not replacing interior designers — it's replacing average ones. Rhiannon Lee, AI strategist for Australian interior designers, breaks down why "AI killed my industry" is lazy marketing, how pattern recognition software produces sameness not taste, and what designers need to document right now before AI flattens the industry. Practical, operational, and built for real studios — not theory. RESOURCES MENTIONED → Pre-AI documentation ... | 25m 47s | ||||||
| 4/22/26 | Where to actually start with AI in your design business (and what to stop doing) | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. Interior designers who feel overwhelmed by AI typically don't have a tool problem — they have a prioritisation problem. Australian AI strategist Rhiannon Lee recommends three starting points: spend four minutes meeting Claude, do a five-minute audit of your most repetitive business tasks, and invest time in free AI literacy resources. Chasing AI image generation is the biggest time drain to avoid. EPISODE OVERVIEW The noise around AI is loud ri... | 36m 48s | ||||||

Join the email list to get the business restructure challenge, 'Studio Build' updates HERE The kids are on school holidays, there's a triple bunk being installed, and I'm stealing 20 minutes here and there to talk about the pricing shift that's quietly happening in the interior design industry and why you need to get ahead of it. This one's recorded live from the chaos: paint swatches, tent pitching, and small people interrupti... | 16m 16s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 | Posting AI slop isn't saving you time, it's costing you clients. | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. AI adoption jumped dramatically in the first quarter of 2026 ... and so did the slop. In this episode Rhiannon gets into the conversation she's been sitting on: what AI-generated content actually looks like, why it keeps happening, and what the real fix is. Rhiannon takes a straight-from-the-machine AI caption and edits it in real time, cutting line by line and explaining exactly what to look for. The before: The AI slop tells to watch for... | 49m 06s | ||||||
| 3/25/26 | The AI data conversation nobody in the design industry is having... but should be. | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. You've probably pasted a client brief into an AI tool this week. Maybe a site visit transcript. A proposal draft. A mood board description with the client's full name, address, and renovation budget attached. And there's a reasonable chance you've never read the terms of service of the tool you pasted it into. This episode is about that gap .. and what to do about it. Interior designers hold some of the most sensitive per... | 38m 18s | ||||||

Bradley began his career as a town planning lawyer before transitioning into interior design, giving him a unique perspective on how homes should be renovated, extended, and designed. We explore how understanding planning regulations can influence design decisions, why heritage ... | 1h 07m 13s | ||||||
| 3/7/26 | How to set your studio up properly to use a variety of AI tools | Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. AI is everywhere right now — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Midjourney, Nano Banana — and interior designers are being told they need to learn all of it. But the real problem isn’t the tools. It’s the lack of context. In this episode of Designing Success, I break down how interior designers should actually be using AI inside their design studio, including: • the AI Studio Stack and what each tool is best for • why ChatGPT isn’t the best t... | 35m 37s | ||||||

In this honest roundtable episode, Rhiannon Lee is joined by four interior designers and property stylists to talk about pregnancy, maternity leave, cashflow, systems, staffing and what really happens when you mix motherhood with business ownership. If you are an interior designer who is pregnant, trying to conceive, planning a family, or quietly wondering how maternity leave works when you are self employed, this episode is for you.
