How do you feel about change in your home and life? Are you excited to embrace it? Or is it something that makes you feel uneasy?

Come listen to my conversation with Courtney Adamo where she asks me to share the reasons behind selling my home, and the answer she didn’t see coming.

We also share how our childhood homes have shaped the ones we have today, and what we’ve learned about letting go of stuff in our spaces.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in live. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and would love to hear about your relationship with your home (past and present), and the influence your childhood has had on the space that you create today.

Beautiful design can fall flat without the right styling.

Whether you’re preparing for a photoshoot, presenting to a client, or building your portfolio — styling can make or break how your work is perceived.

In this popular episode of the Imprint Podcast, I reveal the most common styling mistakes I see designers and creatives make — and the simple fixes that instantly elevate a space.

If you want your interiors to look more intentional, editorial, and high-end — without buying more stuff — this episode will show you how.

While design trends are seductive, the best way to create interiors that look as good as they feel is to express your unique perspective.

In one of the most loved episodes of the podcast, I share what it really means to style with authenticity — and why it’s the key to creating work that not only stands out but truly resonates.

I reflect on how I moved beyond imitation in my early styling days, how I discovered my signature style, and the mindset shifts that made all the difference.

Whether you're styling your home or building a design business, this episode will help you trust your vision, simplify your decisions, and create spaces that feel like you.

From streamlining my offers and systems, to refining how I spend my time and where I show up, this new season is all about clarity, focus, and alignment.
