You Live for Yourself - Ashley Liu's Story of Motherhood & Building Her Own Interior Design Studio

Subscribe to my Newsletter: https://travelstylechic.substack.com/Welcome back to the Genuinely Good Podcast. In this episode, I sat down with Ashley Liu, the founder of her own interior design studio, to talk about craft, motherhood, and what it really takes to build something of your own.Ashley grew up with no design background — it was a book of Tadao Ando's work in a college library that changed everything. She shares how she taught herself 3D rendering to let her work speak louder than words, and what finally pushed her to launch her own studio in 2021 — only to find out she was pregnant two weeks after quitting her job.We talk about what that moment felt like, how she kept projects running through her pregnancy, and the bigger question so many women face: can you really have it all? Ashley's answer is honest and grounded. We also get into the side of interior design most people don't see — building codes, structural constraints, and why a beautiful rendering means nothing if it can't actually be built. If you're building a career, navigating motherhood, or waiting until you feel ready to make a leap — this one's for you.Thank you for being here 🤍/// MY SOCIAL MEDIA \\My Social Profiles:➫ Instagram: / travelstylechic➫ TikTok: / travelstylechicGenuinely Good Podcast➫ Instagram: / genuinely.goodMy Flower Shop:➫ Website: https://flowerevershop.com/➫ Instagram: / flowerever.shop➫ TikTok: / flowerever.shop#personalgrowth #womenempowerment #femaleentrepreneur #interiordesign #podcast
