Creating Your Own Niche: How Simone Haag Turned Her Point of View Into a Thriving Design Business18 Aug 202501:29:32

What if you didn’t need a formal qualification, a traditional path, or a big following to build a successful design business — just a clear point of view?

In one of the most popular episodes of the Imprint Podcast, Simone Haag shares how she created her own niche in the design world by leaning into what made her different. With no formal training, Simone built her career from the ground up — first as an apprentice at the leading Melbourne design studio Hecker Guthrie, then as the founder of her own studio known for bold, layered interiors that reflect a highly personal style.

Come listen to our conversation where we talk about Simone’s unconventional journey into design, how she turned her love of vintage into a signature strength, the way she works with clients, charges for her services, and how she built a team around her creative vision. Simone’s story is a powerful reminder that when you own your point of view, you don’t need to compete — because no one else can do what you do.

If you’re trying to stand out, find your style, or carve your own niche in a crowded market, this is a must-listen.

Are You Missing The Obvious?16 Jun 202500:26:25

Sometimes we’re so close to our work or business that we stop seeing it clearly — caught in the details and the day-to-day tasks that we are unable to step back and see the big picture.As the saying goes, we can’t see forest from the trees.

Yet someone else can often spot what’s missing in an instant.

In today’s episode of Imprint, I’m sharing 9 simple — yet often overlooked — ways to increase visibility for your work and your business with subtle yet powerful shifts. These are patterns I see again and again when reviewing websites and marketing assets inside Design & Grow. Talented creatives doing beautiful work — but not sharing it in a way that helps them make meaningful progress.

If you’re ready to stop missing what’s right in front of you and start creating momentum with some simple shifts, this episode is for you.

The Art of Intuition: Leanne Ford on Design, Creativity & Doing Things Differently26 May 202501:23:49

What happens when you trust your gut, follow your creative instincts, and give yourself permission to do things your own way?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with celebrated designer and author Leanne Ford to talk about her unconventional path from fashion to interiors, the story behind her book The Slow Down, and why she’s more interested in how a space feels than following trends.

Leanne opens up about embracing imperfection, honouring intuition, and designing homes that tell a story — including her own historic home in Pennsylvania.

We explore the messy magic of creativity, the push-pull between art and business, and why protecting your energy is one of the most important decisions you can make.

I wanted to bring this episode back because it doesn’t matter if you're a creative at heart or simply curious about living with more intention, this episode is a joyful reminder to trust yourself — and create the life and spaces that feel most like you.

Should You Start a Substack? Here’s What You Need To Know12 May 202500:41:00

Wondering if you should jump on the Substack bandwagon — or if it’s just another distraction? Curious whether this platform could actually help you grow your audience, share your ideas, and get paid to do what you love?

In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about the platform that’s reshaping how creatives, writers, and entrepreneurs connect with their audience. From growing your email list and sharing long-form content, to building a paid membership model — Substack offers a powerful way to share your voice, on your own terms.

We’ll explore:

  • Why engagement is dropping on platforms like Instagram — and what that means for your business
  • The true earning potential of Substack (including how many subscribers you need to make it work)
  • What makes a newsletter worth reading — and paying for
  • The biggest mistakes to avoid if you’re just starting out

And whether this is the right time — or the right platform — for you

Whether you’re newsletter-curious or ready to grow a loyal, engaged community beyond the algorithm, this episode is your honest guide to deciding if Substack is the right next step.
Press play now!

And if you’re ready to explore this path too — or simply want to see what it looks like in real time — come join me as I start my own Substack journey. You’ll find me at nataliewalton.substack.com (or just search Natalie Walton on Substack). I’d love to continue the conversation with you there.

The Surprising Truth About Why You Need To Quit More24 Mar 202500:26:21

What if the key to success isn’t pushing through at all costs, but knowing when to quit? 

We’re often told that quitting is failure, but what if quitting the right things is actually the smartest move you can make? 

In this episode of Imprint Podcast, it’s time to challenge the idea that persistence is always the answer and explore why quitting strategically can open the door to greater success.

You’ll learn how to recognise whether you’re facing a temporary challenge worth pushing through or stuck in a dead end that’s holding you back. 

You’ll also get practical strategies to quit smarter, make decisions based on logic rather than emotion, and create space for the right opportunities.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a project, a business model, or a pursuit that’s draining more than it’s giving back, this episode will help you gain clarity and confidence in your next steps.

Amanda Jane Jones On Embracing Your Identity As A Working Mother20 Jan 202501:08:16

“It is a terrible myth to believe that once we have children, our journey ends and theirs begins. For many of us, the most interesting and productive times in our lives comes after we have children.”

These words by Brené Brown form the introduction to the new book Mother / Founder by Amanda Jane Jones and Jennifer Fernandez.

It is a powerful statement and one that resonates deeply.

Come listen to my conversation with the co-author and talented designer Amanda Jane Jones who shares her journey from a rocky start at design school to becoming the co-creator and founding designer of Kinfolk and a prolific and coveted graphic designer and author.

The True Path To Reaching Your Goals30 Dec 202400:28:10

If you want to set yourself up for success in the new year, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to focus on your mindset.


Why?


I have coached almost 200 women – interior designers, photographers, shop owners, health coaches, estheticians, Airbnb owners – and there is one thing in common with every single person. 

And that one thing is what is holding them back in their business and their life.

This relates to their mindset

And so today I wanted to share some tools with you that I use to help them get past their roadblocks.

The Power of Expertise: Why Your Reputation Matters More Than Ever02 Dec 202400:27:05

The amount of success you have as a creative business owner is often directly proportional to the amount of credibility you have within the marketplace.

The more visible you become, and the more credibility you gain, the more you attract the right people into your world.

But how can you do this with intention? 

Come listen to three ways you can expand your expertise to have a greater impact.

The One Strategy All Creative Business Owners Need04 Nov 202400:24:05

If you’re a creative business owner, you know that you can’t just launch a website and sit back and wait for clients and customers to come knocking on your door.

There are many tools and software to help you create your product or service.

But for me, NOTHING is more powerful than turning a prospect into a customer than having a streamlined lead flow strategy.

Because without leads, you don’t have a business.

In today’s episode, I’m going to explain what a lead-flow strategy is, why it’s crucial for any creative business, and how you can implement one that consistently brings in new clients without feeling overwhelmed or salesy.
