This week, we’re kicking off a six-part series I’m calling "Turning Projects into Profit." As designers, we pour our hearts into projects that photograph beautifully, but sometimes those same projects barely move the financial needle. I know that tension well because I’ve lived it in my own business. That’s why this series is all about helping you stop leaving money on the table and start building a business that fuels your creativity and pays you well.

And we’re starting with one of the biggest traps in our industry: free consultations.

Now we have the data to prove they also make people healthier.

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas — especially when Success by Design gets the inside scoop from the market floor. In this week’s can’t-miss episode, Katie sits down with Diana Ruston on her team and fresh off the plane to unpack the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre from the latest Las Vegas Market.

This isn’t just another trends episode. It’s a no-holds-barred conversation about what’s really happening in design — from West Coast market shifts to high-gloss regrets and why petrified wood may just be the hero we didn’t know we needed.
