In this episode of the Business and Interiors Podcast, we’re joined by Samantha Pope, founder and creative director of Samantha Pope Interiors. Samantha shares her inspiring path from studying interior architecture to establishing her own luxury design studio. She highlights the crucial role that a deep understanding of building structures has played in her unique approach to interior design.
Samantha also opens up about the personal challenges she encountered while balancing motherhood with her professional aspirations. She discusses how working alongside her husband, a property developer, provided her with the flexibility to gradually return to the design industry after becoming a mother. Over time, as her confidence grew, she successfully launched her own company, distinct from her husband’s business.
A key focus of the conversation is the importance of developing and maintaining a strong mindset. Samantha speaks candidly about her experiences with anxiety and the strategies she has used to cultivate a positive outlook, including daily practices like meditation. She underscores the significance of self-awareness and the value of a supportive environment in achieving and sustaining mental well-being.
