Four designers. One chance meeting. Unlimited opportunities. What started as a spontaneous trip to an industry event turned into a powerhouse partnership that's changing lives — both inside the design industry and in communities across the country. In this episode, I'm joined by the Designer Besties — Whitney Atkinson, Lori Johnson, Rhobin DelaCruz, and Nikki Watson — four talented creatives who have built more than just a friendship. Together, they've: Landed national press without hiring a publicist Created brand partnerships that amplify their visibility Launched a nonprofit transforming teacher lounges in schools nationwide Found ways to support each other through pricing questions, client challenges, and business pivots We talk about how they first met, why vulnerability was the key to building trust, and how each of them leverages the group's combined knowledge and network to grow their own businesses. You'll also hear tactical advice for getting your work featured in the media, building partnerships, and finding your own “design besties” no matter where you live. If you've ever felt isolated as an interior designer or wondered how to break into press opportunities, this episode will show you how collaboration can be your competitive advantage — and how friendship can be the best business strategy you've never tried.   Episode Resources: Help a Reporter Out Learn more about each guest at their website and follow them on Instagram @thedesignbesties Whitney Atkinson - Instagram Rhobin de la Cruz - Instagram Niki Watson - Instagram Lori Johnson - Instagram Episode 253: Trademarking your own product line as a designer with Whitney Atkinson Episode 238: When a Rebrand is right with Rhobin DelaCruz   Download our Free Resources ➡️ Pre-qualify your clients with my Discovery Call Script ➡️ Stay confident from beginning to end with my Consultation Checklist    ➡️ Looking for a quick infusion of cash?

Paul McAlary discusses a kitchen design with Jay, emphasizing the benefits of removing the island to gain more cabinetry and countertop space. The new design includes recessing the refrigerator into a corner, adding 12-inch deep pantry cabinets, and floating shelves. The counter depth refrigerator is recommended to avoid space issues. The total cost is estimated at $10,500, a 25-30% increase from the previous design. Paul advises against a corner sink and suggests a free-standing range instead of wall ovens to save costs. The design also includes a Lazy Susan, a 24-inch sink cabinet, and options for a microwave drawer or speed oven.

Ron and Paul discussed Ron's new home's kitchen design, focusing on space optimization and functionality. Paul explains why architects don't consider door swings, travel space, and furniture placement when they design a new home. And why these considerations are so important. Paul suggested making the kitchen island cabinetry 12 inches deep on the back and 24 inch deep cabinets on the front, resulting in a 49.5-inch counter-top. The counter top includes a 12 inch overhang to sit at on the back and possibly one side and a 1 1/2 inch overhang on the front. He recommended a 42-inch dining table with a 36-inch clearance from the windows. They discussed the importance of proper cabinet and counter-top dimensions, including a 36-inch cook-top and a 42-inch hood. Ron considered using Fabuwood cabinets and stacking them to the ceiling for a more built-in look.
