Episode 60: What It Really Takes to Build a Timeless Design Brand with Jamie Young

Ever wonder what it really takes to build a creative empire without losing your soul in the process? In this episode we sit down with Jamie Young—co-founder of the Jamie Young Company—to unpack the beautiful chaos of growing a globally recognized design brand from scratch. Picture this: launching a business while breastfeeding and faxing orders to a small village in Mexico. That’s the kind of grit Jamie brings to the table. We talk about everything from her first product line to the moments she hit burnout after COVID and had to ask herself, “Now what?” Jamie opens up about scaling her business, staying curious, trusting the people around her, and reinventing the brand—again and again—without losing its soul. There’s so much heart in this conversation. Jamie gets real about risk, creative leadership, parenting while building, and how she kept her edge when it would’ve been easier to play it safe. If you’re a creative business owner, a designer with a dream, or someone navigating burnout and wondering if it’s worth pushing through—this one’s for you.
