Welcome back to The Final Edit, the podcast for high-level founders rewriting what success, legacy, and leadership actually look like.

In this candid convo, we sat down with interior designer and Studio Gaspo founder Jamie Gasparovic for a refreshingly real conversation on creativity, confidence, and building a business that actually feels like you.

We unpacked the evolution of her brand, how she bootstrapped a seven-figure design firm without losing her soul, and what it means to reject trends in favor of personal truth. Jamie shares how luxury isn’t about price tags or perfection. It’s about designing a space that reflects your story and helps you rise.

This episode is packed with real talk, spicy truths about the design world, and a reminder that your space should hold your vision, not shrink it.
