What separates a busy interior designer from the owner of a thriving, scalable design firm? It isn't better clients or bigger projects - it's strong systems, clear boundaries, and the ability to build a team that doesn't rely on you for every decision. In this candid conversation, Kimberley Seldon sits down with Rebekah Zaveloff and Nick Nichols, co-founders of Imparfait Design Studio, to discuss what it really takes to grow an interior design business. From pricing and client expectations to hiring, delegation, and leadership, they share the lessons they've learned while building a successful design firm that can scale without sacrificing creativity or profitability. If you're ready to stop operating like a solo designer and start leading your interior design business like a CEO, this episode is for you.
