In 2008 Lucy took a leap of faith and started her own Design Blog. Starting from a background of Film TV Production and working in that industry at the time, Lucy took it upon herself to commit to something for herself, that was also something that she was passionate about. Fast forward to 2023 and Lucy's blog, is now Australia's most popular Design website - The Design Files. Whilst calving out her own career, and making a huge success of it, Lucy also admits in interviews, the world of being an online big business is 24/7, and her nature is to never switch off. So what has it been like to navigate growing a blog to a big business, then having her daughter, and trying to find a life balance between the many roles Lucy commits too, and the priorities she chooses for herself.   Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke MorganSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Working from home used to sound like the dream, didn't it? If you work from home, you're always at home! But I think we're all starting to realise the flip-side of the WFH movement - if you work from home, you're also always at work. And for most people, the move to working from home has been quite sudden, and you likely don't have the space for a designated office. A lot of us are working from our dining room tables, but according to Lucy Feagins, editor of The Design Files, that doesn't mean you have to compromise on the beauty of your workspace. Lucy walks you through how she sets up her own space at home, and teaches you the importance of having a set-up and pack-down ritual if you're working from a shared living space. She also shares her favourite tools and trinkets to make her home office enjoyable to work in, and reflective of her personality - which is especially important in the age of Zoom!Follow these links to find all the things Lucy recommends in our chat:Muji storageSteelcase office chairsPhillips HueIKEA office chairsCultHay lightsIn Good CompanyNoguchi lights   Connect with Lucy on Twitter or Linkedin, at her website or on Instagram Connect with me on the socials:LinkedinTwitterInstagram If you're looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a fortnightly newsletter that contains three cool things I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.
