That's where Erica Reiner comes in. She's the founder of Eco Method Interiors, an interior design studio that considers toxicity, sustainability, human rights, and beyond when helping one design their dream space. Finally, a place where beauty, elegance, and comfort meet true health and wellbeing.

Wingnut Social: The Interior Design Business and Marketing Podcast

She also has her own podcast called “Green by Design.” Listen to this episode of Wingnut Social to hear about her journey to niche until it hurts.

It can also include the impact you're having on the earth itself. It's why Erica incorporates eco-friendly design into her entire method. She weaves in eco-friendly things that make sense in every project. Her goal was to make sustainability and eco-friendly design as accessible as possible. Each client Erica works with is kept informed of what she's doing with a customized “green guide” for their project. While she is careful to spend money on what's important to the client, they are all aware that she incorporates eco-friendly sourcing. She works with vendors who strive to create sustainable pieces. So is Erica's design style considered Vegan? Listen to hear why Erica believes she can't fall into that category. HINT: it's about sustainability... Don't be afraid to niche until it hurts Erica designs so many different types of aesthetics but it's always classified within eco-friendly design. After Erica shifted to full-time design in 2018, she felt like she failed miserably. But when she stopped offering eco-friendly design as a separate service and incorporated it into her entire process, everything changed. The efforts she made with SEO started to pay off. Darla never recommends that you do something you don't love. If you're passionate about different aesthetics, do it. Erica still has the thread of eco-friendly design woven in. Erica believes that if you're afraid to niche, you're embracing a scarcity mindset. If you niche into something you're passionate about it will be enough to sustain you. Erica also chose a niche because she desires to teach other home pros and designers about the importance of eco-friendly design. She launched a podcast that shares tips and tricks, how-tos, what to be aware of—anything green. It's another piece of the marketing puzzle to become an authority in the eco-friendly industry. Erica emphasizes that environmental problems and human health problems are one and the same. There is so much improvement to come in the movement toward greener and cleaner.

In the first episode of season 2, Brittanie Elms of My Design Assistant flips the script and interviews our host, Erica Reiner. Learn how you can design greener by looking for certain certifications, brands, and more.
Erica Reiner goes solo in this intro episode to tell the story of her journey from environmental science professor to interior designer to eco-friendly interior designer and owner of Eco Method Interiors design studio. The episode also covers the beginnings of the environmental, health, and business benefits of going green within the interior design industry as a rallying cry to other ID professionals to learn, grow and help change the industry for the better.
Erica Reiner is a former environmental science professor using her expertise in sustainability and green living to transform spaces and the interior design field using her cleaner, greener Method. 4 years ago she started Eco Method Interiors making people feel happier, healthier, less stressed and more confident at home or work. When she's not working she's planning her next trip down under with her Australian husband, or at the dog park with Hank, her mutt.
Erica Reiner is the owner - principal of Eco Method Interiors, where her company helps families and businesses through a unique eco-friendly approach to interior design. Through her former career in environmental business and environmental education as well as a lifetime of creating and studying interior design, Erica combined her two passions to create this unique business in 2014. Since then, Erica has helped clients with their health and happiness through design that goes deeper than aesthetics, across the residential, commercial and short-term rental market using the “Eco Method” way. Erica loves sharing her knowledge and has been featured in Better homes and Gardens, Forbes, Apartment Therapy, Reader's digest and more. Looking forward, Erica is working towards leading the home decor and design industry into a greener, cleaner place. Eco Method is an approach where eco-friendly, non-toxic, sustainable pieces are incorporated to any design projects based on the style and budget by using pieces and products that are cleaner and greener for the particular projects. Eco Method can be approached from different askpects. Take a dining table for example, a table would be "sustainable" if it is made out of wood materials that are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, manufactured and shipped from local sources; and would be "clean" if it uses water-based finish and non-toxic adhesives. If you were to do the interiors yourself, start with looking for things that marketed as "better," "eco-friendly," "cleaner," etc., rather than trying to identify "bad" chemicals. To access more of Erica's wisdom about eco-friendly interior design, find her on Instagram (@eco.method.interiors)!
Erica Reiner, of Eco Method Interior Design, shares her story on this episode of Heart Stock Radio. She works online with E-Design clients, and locally, in Southern California helping them with their mental and physical well-being through greener, cleaner transformational design. She holds several academic degrees and was an environmental science professor before embarking on her current entrepreneurial journey. Heart Stock Radio is a production of KBMF 102.5 and underwritten by Purse for the People.
