| 140. Using 3D Renders to Close More Projects and Increase Profits with Fernando Duque | 15 Apr 2024 | 00:53:19 | |
Welcome to another episode of "Design for the Creative Mind" with your host, Michelle Lynne, Today, we've got a jam-packed episode with not one, not two, but three amazing guests joining us. Let's give a warm welcome to Monica and Fabian Rivas from Enliven Interiors, based out of vibrant Las Vegas, Nevada. These two have been making waves in the design world, being featured in top publications like AD, Apartment Therapy, and Homes and Gardens. And that's just scratching the surface of their incredible journey. We're also thrilled to have Fernando Duque, the co-founder and CEO of Duke Renders, with us today. Fernando is a marketing genius, and you might have seen him at various conferences and events spreading his knowledge.
Monica and Fabian's journey is a testament to passion and dedication. With Monica's background in interior design and Fabian's expertise in business and marketing, they make a dynamic duo. Their journey began in school, where they crossed paths while pursuing their respective passions. Fast forward to today, and they've built a thriving business together, combining their skills to create stunning spaces. But how did they connect with Fernando? Well, it all started with a podcast. Fabian came across Fernando's work and was immediately drawn to his innovative marketing strategies. They hit it off and realized they shared a vision for their businesses. Soon enough, they joined forces, and the rest is history. What makes Monica and Fabian's partnership unique is their ability to complement each other's strengths. While Monica thrives in the creative realm, Fabian brings his business acumen to the table. Together, they've created a winning formula that fuels their success. And let's not forget about the importance of renderings in their projects. With Monica's background in architectural gaming and their focus on hospitality and commercial spaces, renderings are a crucial part of their process. That's where Fernando and his team come in. Their collaboration has elevated the quality of their projects, providing clients with stunning visuals that bring their visions to life. But what about residential projects? While renderings are a staple for their hospitality and commercial work, they're gradually incorporating them into their residential projects as well. With Monica's talent for hand sketches, they've found a perfect balance between traditional and digital techniques. One of the keys to Monica and Fabian's success is their commitment to excellence. They've built their reputation on delivering top-notch service, and their clients have taken notice. With a focus on word-of-mouth referrals, they've organically grown their business and established themselves as industry leaders. At the heart of it all is their passion for creating meaningful experiences for their clients. Whether it's designing a luxury hotel or transforming a family home, Monica and Fabian pour their hearts into every project, ensuring that each space reflects the unique vision of their clients. And let's not forget about the importance of teamwork. With Lillian rounding out their team, they've created a supportive environment where creativity thrives. Lillian brings her own expertise to the table, contributing to their collective success. Monica, Fabian, and Fernando are a force to be reckoned with in the design world. Their passion, talent, and dedication shine through in everything they do, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
Fernando is the co-founder of Duke Renders, your go-to for stunning 3D visualizations. Duke Renders specializes in 100% photorealistic 3D rendering services, offering "do it for you" solutions perfect for interior designers seeking realistic and efficient visualizations. They handle the entire rendering process, from concept to completion, reducing back and forth with clients, ensuring faster turnarounds, and guaranteeing you, your client and your contractors are on the same page so you can focus on what you do best – creating beautiful spaces.

| 41. The Great Social Outage of 2021 | 06 Dec 2021 | 00:16:26 | |
What were you doing on October 4, 2021? If you were like many people, you were wondering what the heck was going on with some of the major social media platforms. Many businesses use these platforms to reach potential clients, and on this day, no one was able to reach anyone or do anything. What would you do if it happens again? Where would it leave your business if it goes away forever? I want to be able to choose who I can market to, so in this episode, I am sharing with you the best way to be in control of the success or failure of your business.
Michelle Lynne began her interior design career after spending more than two decades working in Corporate America. She began in the home staging arena and has since built a successful, award-winning, full-service interior design firm, employing talented designers and serving clients across the country.
In the summer of 2018, Michelle began focusing on a big gap she saw missing in the interior design industry: teaching interior designers how to run the business of an interior design business. She now engages in private coaching and leads an in-depth, 12-month group coaching program, both options focus on teaching designers profitable processes, systems, strategies and mindset needed to run a streamlined, profitable interior design firm.
Her motto is simple: we rise by lifting others.

| 23. Be The Leader You Would Want to Work With | 02 Aug 2021 | 00:20:19 | |
Today I want to talk about the importance of leadership. Whether you have a team supporting you or not, leadership is the number one skill that leads to freedom. Learning how to get results through others enables you to take a step back and enjoy the results of your work. In this episode, I share a few things you can work on to become a better leader and get the best out of your team.
Michelle Lynne began her interior design career after spending more than two decades working in Corporate America. She began in the home staging arena and has since built a successful, award-winning, full-service interior design firm, employing talented designers and serving clients across the country.
In the summer of 2018, Michelle began focusing on a big gap she saw missing in the interior design industry: teaching interior designers how to run the business of an interior design business. She now engages in private coaching and leads an in-depth, 12-month group coaching program, both options focus on teaching designers profitable processes, systems, strategies, and mindset needed to run a streamlined, profitable interior design firm.
Her motto is simple: we rise by lifting others.

| 138. It's Time to Think About Hiring a PR Agency with Allyson Conklin | 02 Apr 2024 | 00:42:26 | |
Welcome back to another episode of Designed For The Creative Mind, today we have special guest Allyson Conklin, founder and principal of ACPR, a boutique public relations agency catering to interior designers.
Allyson shares her journey from a corporate PR career to founding ACPR, highlighting the pivotal moment when an interior designer's offer sparked the idea. Despite initial doubts, she embraced entrepreneurship and built a successful agency serving interior designers nationwide.
We discuss the role of PR in building brand awareness for interior designers, debunking misconceptions about its ability to directly bring in new clients. Instead, PR focuses on attracting audiences through media exposure, providing social proof and credibility crucial for brand positioning.
We also talk about when its the right time time in your business to look for a PR agency, what you can expect to spend, and what to look for in finding the right fit for you.
More about Allyson: Allyson Conklin is the founder of Allyson Conklin Public Relations (ACPR), a boutique PR agency for beauty, home, and lifestyle brands. A 2005 graduate of Colorado State University, she started her career in New York City working in publishing for W magazine before transitioning to PR. Allyson held PR roles at Shiseido, Cle de Peau Beaute, Zirh, and Talisker, prior to opening the doors to her eponymous company in 2010. For the last 13 years, Allyson and her team have worked with founders across the U.S. to help them grow their brands by expanding their awareness through earned media. She resides in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Michael, and their three dogs. https://allysonconklinpr.com

| 21. How to Create a ROI From Your Team | 19 Jul 2021 | 00:28:52 | |
Whether you outsource or bring someone onboard internally, taking the time to train that person to do the work that needs to be done is the first step to getting a return on investment from your team. In this episode, I’m sharing tips from my many years of managing people to help you create repeatable processes you can implement in your business. As the CEO you need to have a vision for your company and be able to hire strategically so you can continue to raise the bar and grow, which will benefit everyone. I always say, while every project is different, the process should remain the same.

| 17. What is a Receiver and How Do I Find One? | 21 Jun 2021 | 00:38:10 | |
Hey, y’all! This episode is a little different than my usual ones because today I’m sharing a video interview I had a while back with Morgan Heinrich. I’m asked so often about how to work with a receiver, how to find a good receiver, and what to look out for when hiring a receiver. Morgan is a professional receiver, and although she is no longer with the receiving company we refer to in this episode, I felt there was a lot of good information to share that I hope you find helpful.

| 14. Finding The Right Business Coach For You At The Right Time with Desi Creswell | 31 May 2021 | 00:33:07 | |
Desi Creswell is a Certified Life and Business Coach who helps interior designers stop feeling overwhelmed so they can intentionally build profitable, fulfilling businesses that enrich and support their lives as a whole. An award-winning interior designer, Desi worked for world-renowned design and architecture firms prior to establishing her own design practice. After experiencing burnout from an endless to-do list and the competing interests of work and home, she was disheartened by the feeling that she wasn’t showing up as her best in any area of life. Desi sought to find solutions within the industry for time-management, work-life balance, and creating success that is truly self-defined. In her quest to find a better way and get her big questions about work and life answered, Desi became committed to personal development and growth. This led Desi to blend mindset with strategy to transform her own experience and thus realize that there was a need for this type of support within the design community. Her training as a life coach, paired with her industry-specific expertise, helps her to empower clients to thrive both personally and professionally. Desi has been featured on popular podcasts such as A Well Designed Business, Wingnut Social, and Something About Interior Designers. She has also been a contributor to Designers Today magazine and is a co-author in LuAnn Nigara’s latest book A Well Designed Business, Power Talk Friday Experts: Volume 2.

| 136. March Madness - Remembering Our Word of the Year | 18 Mar 2024 | 00:19:32 | |
Hello, everyone! In this solo episode of Designed for the Creative Mind, I delve into the concept of having a "word of the year" and how it can guide and influence your personal and professional life.
I started contemplating my word of the year during the fourth quarter and honed in on it around Thanksgiving. Initially, I considered words like "mindful," "clarity," and "wisdom," but none felt quite right. I wanted a word that resonated with me on a deeper level, something that could act as a beacon for decision-making and personal growth.
After much reflection, I landed on the word "align." This word encapsulates my desire to make choices that resonate with how I want to feel and the direction I want my life and business to take. It's about ensuring that my actions are in harmony with my goals, beliefs, and desired feelings.
A recent personal example of putting this word into action was the decision to sell our house. Despite its uniqueness and the memories we've created there, the idea of selling felt aligned with my desire for a simpler, less burdensome living situation.
I encourage you to find your own word of the year, no matter what time of year it is. It's a powerful tool that can provide clarity and direction. And remember, it's okay to change your word if it no longer serves you.
I'd love to hear your word of the year, so feel free to drop me a DM on Instagram at @designedforthecreativemind And if you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review and joining our Facebook group, the Interior Designers Business Launchpad, for more business advice.
Until next time, keep striving for alignment in all that you do. Love ya. Mean it.

In this episode I’m introducing you to Debbie DeCleva, the leader of the dream team at Ogallala Comfort, a luxury bedding company with a mission to lift people out of poverty and save the Monarch butterfly, and we are diving into the fascinating connection between butterflies and a good night's sleep. Debbie shares her family's second-generation involvement in the business, and the role of milkweed in enhancing the sleeping experience. You’ll also hear how milkweed is connected to the Monarch butterfly and how Ogallala is using it to make an impact in underprivileged communities and save the Monarch butterfly. We talk about the importance of not just designing a beautiful bed and bedroom space, but how a great design also means a great night's sleep and how the bedding you choose can elevate your clients sleep experience tremendously. You’ll also learn what sets Ogallala’s bedding apart and what things to look for when you are sourcing bedding for your clients. Debbie and the team at Ogallala love to work with designers to customize bedding solutions for their clients unique needs and to make sure their bedding looks and feels luxurious, and they are known for their fairly quick turnaround times in order to accommodate designers and their project deadlines and customizations.

Her transition was gradual and cautious, which allowed her to make an informed decision about going full-time as a freelance writer.
You will learn about how to pitch your projects effectively to publications. Sarah recommends introducing yourself, providing context about your projects, sharing your background, and creating a compelling story around your work.
