If you’ve ever wondered how to get your art in front of interior designers, this episode is my honest field report — and I’ll warn you upfront, I don’t have a big success story to share yet. What I do have is a lot of real data from trying. In this episode I’m breaking down what hasn’t worked at all, what showed unexpected promise, and the one strategy that has consistently gotten designers to respond and ask to see more. I’m also talking about the homework required before you ever pitch a piece — because you can’t just send your favorite work. You have to study their aesthetic, the way they’ve selected art in other projects, their color palette, and then match your art and framing accordingly. Interior designers are busy, their timelines are slow, and this market requires a specific kind of patience and professionalism. This is everything I’ve learned so far.
