Welcome to The Interior Collective

[00:00:08] Welcome back to the Interior Collective podcast. I'm Anastasia Casey, your host and founder of the interior collective IDCO Studio, Quinn Made, and the co host of Design Camp. In another life, I may have been an interior designer myself, but instead I've dedicated my career to creating digital spaces and building communities that celebrate and elevate great design. The Interior Collective is more than just a podcast, though. It's a lifestyle destination in an online community that celebrates the inside of home. We offer project tours from designers around the world, share exclusive interviews with industry tastemakers, and curate content that strikes the perfect balance between informative and aspirational. I'm passionate about empowering interior designers to not only elevate their client experience, but also find financial freedom and stability through their creative careers. We invite you to submit your projects for publication on the Interior Collective, which you can always do so linked in our show notes before we dive into the season, let me take a moment to share what we're doing over at IDCO Studio. If you're looking to streamline your interior design business, define your client experience, or elevate your brand to reflect the spaces you design, IDCO Studio is here to support you every step of the way. We've served thousands, thousands of interior designers around the world through a collection of beautifully designed, high quality website templates, branding suites and essential business tools tailored specifically for interior designers. Whether you're just starting out or really just looking to refine your existing brand, we offer a range of investments to meet you at any budget so you can focus on what matters most creating beautiful, memorable spaces for your clients. [00:01:49] Additionally, our award winning design team has created custom projects for top designers like Amber Lewis, Nate Burkus, Marie Flanagan, Carly Summers, and more through our creative Studio, Quinn Main. Whether you're looking for a plug and play solution to your business needs or an entirely bespoke solution, our team is excited to serve you. We've come a long way since I launched in 2016. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built a collaborative space where designers can not only showcase their work, but also build a brand that's deeply personal and reflective of their style and values. Over the years, I've had the privilege of connecting with some of the industry's most innovative minds, which is fueled by inspiration and helped expand our dedicated team of experts. This season, we're diving even deeper into what it takes to create spaces that not only look beautiful, but feel exceptional. We'll be sitting down with the most seasoned interior designers, general contractors, product developers, and so many other industry experts who shape the way we live and experience our homes. From old home renovations to new builds, we're exploring every aspect of design and the collaborative relationships that bring these visions to life. And with our dream of turning the Interior Collective into something physical, I'm thrilled to announce that our new appointment only showroom in Austin has officially opened its doors. It's a curated collection of vintage, one of a kind and female made pieces, plus collaborations with some of our closest friends in upholstery, textiles, art, and more. It's a space where you can see, touch and experience the pieces that make a house feel like home. So whether you're booking a private shopping experience or looking to memo those final styling pieces for an upcoming shoot, we've got a little something special waiting for you. Here at the Interior Collective, we believe that someone else's success is never going to hinder yours. We're committed by leading by example and fostering a community that embraces inclusivity, creativity, and connection. I can't wait to share this season with you, and I hope it leaves you inspired to create something truly memorable both in your business and in your home. Let's get started.
