Pour a wine and unwind with Dave in this festive solo episode as he walks through the 12 biggest lessons he’s learned as an interior designer, from networking, communication, and boundaries to confidence, creativity, and charging what you’re worth.

This reflective end-of-year special dives into the realities of building a design career: the wins, the mistakes, the messy client moments, and the quiet breakthroughs that shape who we become as designers.

Whether you’re a design student, a fresh grad, or simply need a mental reset coming toward the end of the year, these 12 lessons offer reassurance, clarity, and a warm reminder that every designer starts somewhere and you're never alone on the path to creating wonderful spaces.
