S3 Ep. 177 Spolier: I Burned the Old Recipe

Hey y’all, welcome back to Design for the Creative Mind — the podcast where we dive into the business side of interior design with strategy, heart, and zero fluff. Today’s episode is a big one because I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at some major changes we’ve been cooking up.

I’m thrilled to share that my coaching platform has officially rebranded! While the podcast will keep its name (Design for the Creative Mind), everything else now lives under a new and very on-theme umbrella: The Design Bakehouse.

Why the Change?

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that Design for the Creative Mind wasn’t just a podcast — it was also the name of my entire coaching business. But as things have grown and evolved (just like your design business!), it became clear that we’d outgrown that structure. Our community has expanded, our content has deepened, and we're now supporting designers at every stage — from launching to scaling past six figures.

It was time for a brand that reflected the power of this work.

Introducing: The Design Bakehouse

Yes, I went all in on the baking theme — you know I love a good theme! The Design Bakehouse is now the home for all of our coaching programs, digital tools, and community. Think of it as a fully baked business ecosystem designed to help you rise.

Inside The Bakehouse, you’ll find:

• The Interior Design Business Bakery – our signature mentorship program

• Design From Scratch – for those starting fresh and ready to do it right

• The Key Ingredients – essential foundations for a thriving design business

• Our expanding product shop – with tools, digital resources, and freebies

And yes, everything got a major glow-up — the branding, the clarity, the delivery. It’s so pretty, y’all.

Get a Taste with The Sampler Box

To celebrate the launch, I’ve put together a delicious freebie for you: The Sampler Box. It’s a curated preview of what The Bakehouse has to offer, and you can grab it at thedesignbakehouse.com. 

  Why The Bakehouse?

A bakehouse isn’t just where bread is made. It’s where craftsmanship meets mastery, where recipes are refined, and where the best in the business perfect their skills. That’s exactly the kind of environment we’re creating — but instead of flour and sugar, we’re working with strategy, sales, and systems to help interior designers build profitable, sustainable, and fulfilling businesses.

So my question for you is: Are you ready to rise?

Whether you’re brand new or fully booked, if you’re craving structure, support, and a plan that actually works, The Bakehouse was baked just for you.

The Podcast Isn’t Going Anywhere

Design for the Creative Mind — the podcast — will stay right here, continuing to bring you honest conversations about the business of interior design every single week. But now, it’s cozily nestled inside The Design Bakehouse.

Thanks for being here. I built this for designers just like you, and I cannot wait to see what we create together inside The Bakehouse.

Until next time, keep rising.
