Kelly Wearstler is one of the most influential designers in the world,  but her real genius may be how she turned taste into a scalable multi-million dollar business. Over the years, she’s built a company that stretches far beyond interiors, expanding into product, licensing, creative direction, and media  all while staying closely involved in the work itself. In this conversation, we get into the structure, decision-making, and resilience behind that growth. In this episode, Emma explores: How Kelly built a 60-person studio Why she believes in “sequence” over speed The commercial strategy behind creative work How she’s using AI within her company  Investing in hierarchy and leadership Knowing when to walk away  Why longevity matters more than hype This is a conversation about building something that evolves and making sure it’s designed to endure.
