Sixteen designers. Eight to twelve projects. A design firm she keeps as the smallest revenue line in a company of hundreds, on purpose. Amber Lewis is back on the show, and this time we’re getting into the business behind the name. This week, @anastasiacasey_ sits down with @amberinteriors to talk about creative control at scale: where she still shows up on every project, why she cut her project load even as the brand grew, and why she refuses to let magazines embargo her photos. Inside the conversation: -Why taking on fewer projects keeps her team from defaulting to what it’s already done -Staging every piece in a 55,000 square foot warehouse before install, and shooting the project the same week it’s installed -What “client facing” really means when you’re the name on the door -Why her team is rethinking hourly invoices to be more client fair -The “Amber alerts” she addresses head on before an orange flag turns red A very special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, @materio.co, the platform helping interior designers source materials, manage specifications, and streamline project workflow, and to our episode sponsor @loloirugs, the family-owned rug brand bringing three generations of craftsmanship to homes everywhere.

I’m so excited to get back on stage at High Point Market this fall and talk about two of my favorite topics: profitability and AI. If you’ll be at Market, come see me: - Sunday 10/18 at 2 PM @Crystorama Showroom The Price Is Right How to generate higher design fees that reflect your value and build a more profitable business. - Monday 10/19 at 2 PM @universalfurn Showroom AI Is Your New Hire What can AI actually take off your plate? With @materio.co & @matchpointe_by_elissa I’d love to see you there! What are you most excited to see or do at Fall Market?

No formal proposal. A fee range, a personal email, and 90% of new inquiries arriving from Instagram without a single ad dollar behind them. Oho Interiors has grown to a team of ten on a philosophy Melissa Oholendt calls selling without selling, and this episode is the full inside look at how it works. This week, @anastasiacasey_ sits down with @ohointeriors founder Melissa Oholendt to talk about how a studio earns trust long before a contract is signed: what she shares on Instagram, how she runs an inquiry call, why budgets get discussed early and often, and the small systems that keep the client experience personal from kickoff to install. Inside the conversation: Why Melissa stopped showing the DIY work on her own renovation, and the shift in inquiries that followed about six months later The three audiences behind Oho’s Instagram, and how behind-the-scenes content lets potential clients decide for themselves that they’d rather hire than do it alone How an investment guide sent from her personal email stands in for a formal proposal, and the trade-off she’s honest about How Oho talks about furniture budgets, freight, tax, and project minimums early enough that pushback stays rareThe “moments of delight” and “don’t screw it up” tasks that help a team remember what clients said two years ago A very special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, @materio.co, the platform helping interior designers source materials, manage specifications, and streamline project workflow, and to our episode sponsor @loloirugs, the family-owned rug brand bringing three generations of craftsmanship to homes everywhere.

A four-tier project system. A home furnishings brand that now makes up 75% of total sales. A brand new flagship store opening this week. @studiomcgee has scaled a lot since @shea_mcgee was last on the show, and this episode is the real inside look at how. This week, @anastasiacasey_ sits down with @studiomcgee’s Shea McGee to talk about the business behind the brand: why they’ve stayed hourly while the industry moves toward flat rate, how she splits her personal brand from Studio McGee entirely, and her surprisingly candid take on whether traditional PR and print placement are even worth it anymore. Inside the conversation: -Why an 18-person team runs a firm most people assume is much bigger, and how their four-tier project system keeps Shea hands-on where it matters most - The one red flag in an intro call that tells her team a client isn’t going to be the right fit - Why she’s never had a client say they found her through a magazine feature, and how that’s shaped where she invests in photography and PR - How a single centralized creative team keeps the brand consistent across every platform, from Instagram to YouTube to Substack - What Netflix and Target each did for Studio McGee’s visibility, and the years of work it took to reposition the brand afterward A very special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, @materio.co, the platform helping interior designers source materials, manage specifications, and streamline project workflow, and to @loloirugs - new season means new rugs, pillows, and designs to discover, and if you’re headed to High Point Market, there’s even more to see in person.

Getting everyone in one place, in one frame, for thirty seconds — turns out that’s basically its own management exercise. There’s a moment where the whole team gets stuck trying to fix a big problem by chasing a bunch of small ones. Shaving a few days off receivables. Tightening this, tweaking that. All reasonable. None of it addressing the thing actually costing them the most. It made me think about how easy it is to run a team the same way…solving whatever’s loudest now instead of asking what’s actually the root of it. What to change. What to change to. How to cause the change. That’s the whole job, stripped down. Not fixing whatever’s in front of you. Knowing which thing is actually worth fixing. Grateful for a team that shows up in all the best ways. And is also 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you @noslend for capturing us. ✨🙏 #nycphotography #tribeca #walkerhoteltribeca #startup

Our WNWN panel at @nydc was a blast! What’s New What’s Next is always a fantastic time for us to get connected with the design community, share our new product, and open our space for important voices to have a place to share. Yesterday we had 6 women founders who are shaping tech in the industry share their insights. A day marked by bubbly, gelato, and practical insights. Thanks for everyone that joined us for the panel and for @averyjohnson.design rug collection. We loved connecting 💻🎨🗽🎙️

Less than one week away. Six founders. One conversation you won’t want to miss. Join us during What’s New, What’s Next at the Lexington Home Brands showroom for a conversation bringing together women at the forefront of technology, business, media and innovation in the interior design industry. Moderated by LuAnn Nigara, the panel will explore what these founders have built, why they built it, and what interior designers should be thinking about as technology continues to reshape the way we work. Walk away with a clearer understanding of what a technology roadmap really looks like, how to build one for your firm, and why investing in the right tools matters now more than ever. September 17 | 1:45 PM New York Design Center | Suite 212 And come a little early (or stay after) — L’Arte del Gelato will be serving from 1–4 PM. Save this post and we’ll see you in New York!
