Episode 53: Inside the Business of Interior Design with Rainey Richardson & Casey Brand

You ever meet people and instantly think: Yep. These are my people?

That’s exactly what happened when we sat down with the fabulous Rainey Richardson and Casey Brand—two Houston-based design powerhouses and co-hosts of the Reframing The Art of Interior Design podcast.

And let me tell you... this one goes way beyond mood boards and marble countertops.

In this episode, we get real about:

• The not-so-glamorous (but incredibly relatable) side of interior design

• How experience, empathy, and emotion fuel great client relationships

• Learning the hard way (hello, flooded ceilings and pricing flops 😅)

• Why the design biz can feel like a lonely island—and how community changes everything

• Embracing technology (or not) in an industry built on touch and texture

We also dive into how Rainey and Casey use humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom to run successful design firms and launch a podcast that’s as unfiltered as it is uplifting.

Whether you’re a designer, entrepreneur, or someone who’s just tired of pretending you’ve got it all figured out—this episode is for you.
