In this episode of Designing Success, I sit down with interior designer Bradley Montag to talk about the intersection of design, property, and town planning.
Bradley began his career as a town planning lawyer before transitioning into interior design, giving him a unique perspective on how homes should be renovated, extended, and designed. We explore how understanding planning regulations can influence design decisions, why heritage homes deserve thoughtful renovation, and the common mistakes people make when buying or renovating property.
We also discuss the reality of renovating older homes, honoring architectural history, and why designing a home purely for resale often results in bland spaces with no personality.
Finally, we dive into marketing for designers — including social media, thought leadership, and how creatives can communicate their value more confidently when pricing their services.
If you're interested in interior design, property renovation, heritage homes, or building a design business, this conversation offers both practical insight and honest industry perspective.
