The Interior Collective

Season 8 of The Interior Collective Podcast is brought to you by Loloi.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Materio.

Today on The Interior Collective, I’m honored to be sitting down with Parris of Parris McKenna Design, a Toronto-based interior design firm that has experienced what I would call true star power acceleration. Not only is Parris the principal of one of House & Home’s 100 top designers, she’s a close, personal friend and dear advisor.

In just a few short years, Parris has grown her studio from a new business to a multi-office operation serving both Toronto and Muskoka, with a large and expanding team to support it. And what fascinates me most is not just the growth, but the infrastructure behind it.

We’re diving into her 0 to 60 trajectory. How she built momentum quickly, what operational decisions supported that scale, how she structured her team, and how YouTube became a serious marketing engine for her business.

If you are in a season of growth, or hoping to be, this episode is going to give you a real look at what scaling actually requires.

Welcome back to The Interior Collective. I’m your host, Anastasia Casey, and today I’m sitting down with Jess Weeth, founder of Weeth Home.

Jess has built a studio known not just for beautiful, thoughtful work, but for long-term client relationships that extend well beyond a single project. And that’s exactly what we’re unpacking today. Instead of focusing on one finished space, we’re talking about how designers can intentionally build their businesses to support repeat clients, multi-phase projects, and long-term trust.

In this episode, we’re diving into what it actually takes to move from one-off engagements to ongoing relationships. How you structure your services, how you communicate early on, and how your process either invites clients back or quietly pushes them away. We’ll talk about operational decisions, pricing confidence, boundaries, and the systems that make longevity possible, not just creatively, but sustainably from a business perspective.

Jess will also walk us through how Weeth Home is structured today, how her team operates, how they charge for their work, and what’s changed as the studio has matured. If you’re thinking about how to grow your business without constantly chasing new leads, this conversation is for you.

The most sustainable studios are not built on constant lead generation. They are built on trust, clarity, and relationships that extend beyond a single scope of work.

In this episode of The Interior Collective, Anastasia Casey sits down with Jess Weeth of Weeth Home to talk about designing for longevity. From structuring first projects with intention to building systems that support repeat clients, this conversation is about creating a business clients want to return to again and again.

Today on The Interior Collective, I’m joined by the Brownstone Boys, a Brooklyn-based design duo who have built a studio that lives at the intersection of historic preservation, modern renovation, media, and brand partnerships.

What makes their business especially interesting is not just the work itself, but the way they’ve expanded beyond traditional client services. From editorial features and product collaborations to a strong digital presence and storytelling-led brand, they’ve managed to grow visibility without diluting their design practice.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to turn attention into leverage. How they decide which opportunities to pursue, how they protect their studio operations while expanding into new lanes, and what interior designers should think about if they want to build a platform alongside a service-based business.

As always, we’ll also get into the practical side: team structure, pricing models, decision-making frameworks, and what’s next behind the scenes.

Welcome to The Interior Collective! Today, we’re thrilled to sit down with Sarah Solis, founder and principal designer of Sarah Solis Design Studio. Sarah has made a name for herself in the design world by embracing a refined, minimalist approach that still feels incredibly warm and full of depth. As many interiors today are leaning towards bold colors and layered patterns, Sarah has perfected a nuanced style rooted in quiet layers. She combines her backgrounds in fine art, architecture, and fashion to create spaces that are thoughtfully curated and timeless.

In this episode, we’ll dive into Sarah’s unique design philosophy—what she calls “the subtle art of restraint”—and explore how she creates livable, elegant spaces that feel both layered and minimal. Sarah will walk us through her design process, from selecting textures and materials to achieving that delicate balance between simplicity and richness. We’ll also discuss the structure of her design studio, the talented team members who bring her vision to life, and how she approaches pricing her services. And finally, Sarah will give us an inside look at her latest venture, Galerie Solis, a curated collection of original furniture, textiles, antiques, and art that embodies her signature approach to design.

This is a conversation about intentionality, craftsmanship, and the art of storytelling through design—I encourage you to take note and begin the practice of refinement in design.
