| 6/24/26 |  116. Booked Out, Busy, and Still Not Profitable Enough? | Send Katie a Text Message!! Most interior designers think they have a revenue problem. But what if the real issue isn't how much money is coming in? What if it's how much money is quietly leaking out? In this episode, Katie breaks down one of the biggest profitability challenges facing design firms today: hidden profit leaks. From scope creep and revision loops to owner over-involvement and untracked labor, many designers are losing thousands of dollars without realizing it. In this episode,... | 28m 43s | ||||||
| 6/17/26 |  115. A Profitable Design Business Is Not the Same as a Scalable Design Firm | Send Katie a Text Message!! One of the biggest misconceptions I see in the interior design industry is the belief that profitability automatically means your business is healthy. It doesn't. You can have beautiful projects, happy clients, strong revenue, and still be operating a business that can't handle another level of growth. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between a profitable design business and a scalable design firm—and why that distinction matters if you're trying ... | 25m 35s | ||||||

You had the uncomfortable conversations. And you thought, This is it. This is the turning point. But you’re still working just as much. Maybe more. If that’s you, this episode of Success by Design is going to hit home. In this conversation, I break down why raising your interior design fees is often necessary — but never the magic fix everyone promises. Higher pricing doesn’t automatically create more freedom.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I swear I’ve already answered this,” while a team member pings you yet again, this episode is for you. Today, I’m unpacking one of the most exhausting leadership moments I see with designers — when your team keeps asking the same questions over and over, and it starts to make you wonder if you’re doing something wrong as a leader. I want to say this clearly right out of the gate: this isn’t a sign that you’re failing. It’s ... | 25m 48s | ||||||

If you’ve ever looked at your business and thought, “Why did this feel easier when I was making less money?”—this episode is for you. Today, I’m talking directly to designers who are doing “everything right” on paper. The revenue is there. The team is there. The projects are bigger. And yet… everything feels heavier. More complex. More draining. Here’s the truth I want you to hear upfront: you didn’t do anything wrong. This tension doesn’t show up because you fail... | 18m 51s | ||||||

Choosing a coach is a big decision—especially when your business is already successful, but something still feels heavy. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what coaching should (and shouldn’t) look like for interior designers. I share the mistakes I’ve made hiring coaches, the lessons I learned the hard way, and the exact criteria I use now—both when I hire support and when designers consider working with me.

If you feel stuck in indecision, overwhelmed by options, or frozen because you’re afraid of making the wrong move in your design business, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I’m talking directly to designers who are waiting for more clarity, more confidence, or more certainty before taking action — and how that waiting is often the very thing keeping them stuck. Indecision isn’t neutral. It’s still a decision, and it usually comes with hidden costs: st... | 19m 46s | ||||||

As we step into 2026, I wanted to record this episode before you opened your inbox, before you looked at last year’s numbers, and before you started telling yourself stories about what this year needs to be. This is your 2026 pep talk. Because most designers don’t start a new year with a clean slate — they start it carrying the emotional weight of the year before. And if we don’t address that first, it quietly shapes how we show up, the goals we set, and the decis... | 17m 40s | ||||||
