Subscribe now at patreon.com/theinteriorcollective Welcome back to The Interior Collective, I’m your host, Anastasia Casey — and today, I am so excited to be joined by one of the most influential voices in modern American design, Nina Freudenberger. As the founder of Freudenberger Design Studio, Nina has built a body of work that transcends trend cycles, coasts, and even design styles — yet every space she touches evokes the same feeling: grounded, effortless, and deeply personal. You might know her from her bestselling design books like Surf Shack, Bibliostyle, and most recently Mountain House, or from her projects featured in Architectural Digest and Vogue. But what’s perhaps most fascinating about Nina’s journey is how she’s built a brand that evolves with her — from interiors, to publishing, and beyond — all while staying visually cohesive and emotionally resonant. In this conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it takes to grow a multidisciplinary design studio, how to build a signature style that still leaves room for reinvention, and how Nina’s expanded her business into new creative categories without losing sight of what matters most. If you’re a designer looking to grow a timeless business that evolves with you, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Let’s dive in.

We’re pulling back the curtain on a beloved Canadian-based brand in the design community—Moe’s Home Collection—and exploring what it really takes to evolve a 25-year-old, family-run company into a rising force in the wholesale furniture space. Joining me are Co-CEOs and siblings, Sara and Moe Jr. Samieian, who have not only scaled Moe’s in impressive ways, but done so with interior designers at the center of their strategy. From streamlining shipping and inventory to launching designer-led product collaborations and educational events, they’ve reimagined what a wholesale partner can look like in 2025. In this conversation, we talk about what designers are asking for right now, how feedback directly influences Moe’s product collections, and why building an authentic community is just as important as beautiful furniture. Whether you’re a solo designer or a studio with a full team, this episode offers a refreshing, behind-the-scenes look at a company that’s putting our industry first. Let’s dive in.

I’m your host, Anastasia Casey, and today’s conversation feels especially close to my heart. After spending the last ten years building a business, scaling a team, and pouring everything into my work, I finally took the leap into motherhood — and now, I’m sitting here with a four-month-old at home, learning firsthand what it means to balance entrepreneurship with a brand new kind of responsibility. That’s why I was so excited to sit down with interior designer Kim Lapin. Kim runs a thriving, highly intentional design business while also raising three kids under the age of four. Yes — three under four. But what’s even more impressive is the way she’s made conscious decisions to stay small, take on projects that feel deeply fulfilling, and outsource in all the right places — both professionally and personally — in order to create the life and business she truly wants. In this episode, we talk about saying no to the pressure to scale, redefining success in motherhood, and letting go of the guilt that so many of us feel when we don’t do it all. Whether you’re in the thick of this same season, or just thinking about what sustainable success could look like for you, this conversation is full of insight, honesty, and so much grace. Let’s dive in.
