Can you start an interior design business as a hobby while your kids are little, then step into it full-time later? In this episode of Interior Design Business, I’m unpacking why that mindset won’t get you where you want to go—and what to do instead.

I’ll share why interior design demands a professional approach from day one, what systems and tools you need in place, and how to design a business that fits your lifestyle without treating it like a side project. Plus, I’ll explain the critical mindset shift that separates hobbyists from successful business owners.

In this episode, we cover: 

  • 🧠 Why interior design isn’t something you can “mess around with” in your free time
  • 📋 The foundational systems and tools you need to run a real design business
  • ⚖️ How to build a business that supports your family and your income goals
  • ✅ The mindset shift that transforms your passion into a professional path

If you’re ready to stop dabbling and start designing a business that works for you, this episode is a must-listen.
