The Design Duo Podcast

Dustin offers a refreshing take on building a business, branding, and communicating your authentic voice through the content you create. We have so much respect for Dustin and the brand he has created, the business Catalog and Folklore has become, and the authenticity he brings to this industry. His hunger and drive to make his business the best while refusing to let fear drive his decisions are so inspiring and a needed conversation right now in the industry. We know you will walk away with so much goodness from this episode and are excited to have you listen! 

Angie and Emily were all we could ever dream of in podcast guests--hilarious, real, and of course, two of the most talented friendors we know. Dive in with us on how they decided to start a business together, lessons they have learned from their beginning days through 2020, and what they have to say about their secret installation ingredient--silks! We adore these two and you will too!  @bloombabes @designduopodcast

Kelsey and Jess talk to Samantha of Hostess Haven about how her family became the owners of a luxury rental company and how she navigates it all as a 20-something, she gives us a glimpse into family business ownership and their heart behind inventory purchasing, and leaves us with what she sees on trend for 2021.  @hostesshaven @designduopodcast

Kelsey and Jess talk to Jill of Layered Vintage about her background in business, how she became the queen of installations, growing the Modern Love event to the nationwide success it is today, and her tricks for preventing burnout. 

Kelsey and Jess talk to Braden Drake, an incredible lawyer, author of "Unf*ck Your Biz", and a creative entrepreneur's dream guest. He breaks down what it looks like to service creatives and how he got here, Facebook group marketing strategies, what the Qapital app can do for your taxes, and if your contracts will hold up in court (hint: it's partially based on which words you capitalize?!). Plus, he'll keep you laughing the whole way through.  @bradenadamdrake @designduopodcast

Kelsey and Jess talk to Anna and Andrew of Dear Lovers Photography on how they have intentionally curated their brand by focusing on client experience and real weddings, building their dream home, and their incredible story on how their name and company came to life. 

Kelsey and Jess talk to Robyn of Ivory and Stone on managing a venue and how that helped kick start her planning company in a new city, changing her company's name, email lists, and all 2020 has thrown our way both as vendors and as a bride

Kelsey with Kelsey Rae Designs and Jess with Crowned Events share all about how they got started in the wedding and event industry, what they would change if they could go back to their first year in business, and their favorite wedding designs they've brought to life.  The Design Duo Podcast is for creative small business owners looking to be inspired and grow together through intentional design and conversation. We will be interviewing leaders in the industry who will share more about how they have gotten started and paved the way, as well as their expertise on what has gotten them where they are now. We are so excited to have you join us!    @designduopodcast @kelseyraedesigns  @crownedevents
