Episode 73: The Truth About Starting a Design Business with Brittny Button

In this episode our guest is Brittny Button, founder of Button Atelier, an interior design studio in Los Angeles. Brittny has built a reputation for creating spaces that feel both calm and timeless, drawing inspiration from Spanish revival architecture, European details, and old Hollywood romance. We talk about her unexpected path into design after leaving a modeling career, how renovating a Palm Springs home while pregnant became her crash course in construction, and what it really takes to start a design firm from scratch. She shares the lessons learned from business partnerships, why antiques and vintage finds shape so much of her work, and how she’s preparing to launch her first furniture collection with major retailers. You’ll also hear Brittny’s thoughts on where true inspiration comes from, what it’s like to balance creativity with raising two young kids, and the confidence it takes to put your work into the world even when imposter syndrome creeps in. If you’ve ever thought about making a big career pivot, chasing a dream project, or simply want to know how a designer turns vision into reality, this conversation is full of insights you can take with you.
