Designing for Yourself— The Most Personal Project | Couture & Construction Ep. 142

Welcome back to Season 11 of Couture & Construction! On today’s episode, host Andrew Denny engages in a heartfelt conversation with Jess Weeth, founder of Weeth Home.

From her successful career in fashion to establishing a boutique design studio on the Delaware coast, Jess shares her unique perspective on designing for oneself. Jess discusses the delicate balance of collaboration with her husband, the emotional weight of creating spaces for loved ones, and the lessons learned from navigating the complexities of home renovation.

Let’s Sum It Up:
Designing for yourself can be both rewarding and challenging, requiring a deep understanding of personal aesthetics.
Collaboration with family can enhance the creative process, but it also demands clear communication and respect for differing visions.
Every design project is a journey that intertwines personal stories, memories, and the essence of home.

Until next time - keep cultivating creativity.
