Amber Lewis: Growing Pains + Industry Stardom

Amber Lewis: Growing Pains & Industry Stardom

Episode Details

Noteworthy success is always the goal for an interior design business. But when a studio expands into a full blown lifestyle brand, the lines can blur when it comes to corporate structure. With an ever-changing industry and internal roles evolving to fill gaps that come with growing pains, managing who does what in each department can prove complicated. Today, I’m welcoming Amber Lewis of Amber Interiors to walk us through her studio’s structure after spending a decade as a top designer. We’re chatting all about repeat book deals, product licensing, and what comes next for an interior designer of her caliber.

In this episode, Amber and I discuss:

• How to run two separate, successful business entities
• Who you should hire first
• Employee structure within an interior design studio
• How to stay involved as your studio grows
• How to grow your business without investors
• What to look for in a brick and mortar storefront
• 2 key tips for writing a book
• How to expand beyond your signature style 
• And more!
