We’re joined by the incredibly talented Palmer Weiss—an interior designer whose signature style blends timeless sophistication with vibrant Southern charm. But beyond her eye for color and layered design, Palmer brings something rare to the table: a rock-solid business background. With experience in investment banking and retail merchandising, and an MBA from Kellogg, Palmer didn’t just fall into this industry—she built her design firm on the foundation of financial fluency.

In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to run a profitable design business. From creating airtight budgets, navigating scope creep, and maintaining profit margins without compromising creative vision, Palmer shares practical, specific strategies that every designer—at any level—can learn from.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by pricing, billing, or managing money in this industry, this one’s for you. So grab your notebook—Palmer Weiss is about to drop some serious wisdom.
