How Interior Designer Young Huh Unlocked Her Creative Calling

About this episode

Young Huh discusses her journey from law to interior design and her creative philosophy.

For our third episode of “The New Home,” our miniseries in partnership with Fisher & Paykel, we’re spotlighting Young Huh, interior designer, author, and founding member of the AAPI Design Alliance. Her new book, “A Mood, A Thought, A Feeling: Interiors,” offers a glimpse into her thoughtful, color-driven approach to design and the philosophy behind her work. Young joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her unconventional path to design—from starting out in law to making a bold career pivot and building a thriving creative business. She shares what it really takes to find your calling, the challenges of starting over, and why she’s passionate about mentoring the next generation of designers. They also dive into her approach to interiors, including why kitchens are the heart of the home, the emotional power of color, and how she helps clients design spaces based on how they want to feel. Plus, Young talks about gardening, cooking simple meals at home, and her love of breakfast nooks. Thank you to Fisher & Paykel for supporting our show.
