5 Lessons from 10 Years in Business
This September marks 10 years in business for Jane Ledger Interiors. Wow, that time has sure flown. I remember the day I arrived back in Perth from Sydney in 2014, newly minted interior designer, leaving behind a career of over 20 years in corporate management. I had no idea how I’d get clients or run a solo business.
Today I’m sharing what I’ve learned as a designer in that time.
5 lessons from 10 years in practice:
1. Design takes time
2. Money matters
3. Mistakes are good
4. Education is everything
5. Connections count

28: Buildability of Your Project with Nathan Johns
I heard a stat the other day that shocked me: 75-80% of designs never make it to construction. Wow. That’s a lot. Such a disheartening experience to go through. You’ve gone to the time, expense and energy of planning your build or reno, only to find when the costing comes back it’s beyond reach.
Buildability is a real issue in our industry. Today’s guest Nathan Johns from Forest to Coast Homes is part of a growing group of builders implementing a solution that’s changing the way we design and cost projects.

Welcome back, it’s great to have you here. For the opening episode of Season 3, we’re starting with a personal story of Jane’s, something she’s never shared publicly, on a topic you might not expect to hear on a design podcast.
