Podcast Episode: Safeguard your Interior Design Business with TM Solicitor
If you’ve ever had that gut feeling someone borrowed too heavily from your work or were worried they might, this episode is for you.
I recently joined Australian attorney Tracey Mylecharane on her Rise Up in Business podcast to talk about what it actually looks like to protect your interior design business.
Not just with contracts (we talk about those, too), but with boundaries, pricing conversations, and smart systems that back up the creative work you love to do.
This is an easy-to-understand, judgment-free conversation for designers who are serious about building something sustainable and who are tired of feeling taken advantage of.
We talked about:
What to do when a client or competitor uses your work without permission
How to handle team members or subcontractors misusing your work
Why contracts aren’t just “paperwork” but a lifeline
How to bring up pricing early and with confidence
What boundaries actually look like in a service-based business
The emotional toll of being copied and how to protect your sanity
If you’re a designer, service provider, or creative entrepreneur, this episode will help you think differently about how to protect what you’ve built and what to do when you find your work being used by someone else.
