  EP 78: The Story Behind AI for Interior Designers™

  Sep 26, 20261h 11m

  EP 78: How AI for Interior Designers Got Started, Live from The Loft Jenna Gaidusek has built a business on technology and interior design and teaching that to others in the interior design industry. In this episode, her longtime collaborator Julia Reinert flips the mic and asks the questions for once: how a girl from Vermont who didn't know "interior design" was a career ended up building the AI Social Club. This episode was recorded live in The Loft inside the AI Social Club, the first one recorded there. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN - Where Jenna's design instincts actually started, years before design school - What it was like graduating design school straight into the 2010 recession - Why she built eDesign Tribe in 2018 and why she eventually sold it to Mydoma - What made her buy the domain AI for Interior Designers in 2022 - Why she builds and breaks every tool herself before she teaches it - How the AI Social Club became a house you walk through, room by room THE ONE THING TO TAKE FROM THIS EPISODE Jenna has never built anything with the intention of selling it. eDesign Tribe, AI for Interior Designers, the AI Social Club, all of it started because she wanted the thing to exist and nobody had built it yet. That's still how she decides what to build today. ABOUT JULIA REINERT Julia Reinert runs The Lifestyle Historian, where she helps designers and brands tell their story, with a background in journalism, marketing, brand management, event planning, and writing. She joined the interior design industry in 2022 and works with clients on a fully custom basis, from content and strategy to sponsor relationships and event planning. Julia is also Jenna's Director of Partnerships and has worked alongside her for nearly two years.

  EP 76: AI Pulse: Jenna's Predictions for Where AI Is Heading

  Jun 26, 202646 min

  Episode 76 | AI Pulse: Jenna's Predictions for Where AI Is Heading AI for Interior Designers™ Podcast · Jenna Gaidusek Nearly 3 years into teaching AI for Interior Designers, Jenna shares her predictions and a current pulse of where AI is and where she predicts it will be in the future, with one honest disclaimer: she is not here to guess where AI lands in five years. Nobody knows that. What she can tell you is what she has actually been building for the past three years, and where that points next. The short version is custom tools. The kind you build yourself, designed for how you actually work, instead of renting fifty subscriptions that were never made for the design business. She gets into the irony of developers handing us the tools to finally cut out the middleman, why the backend has always been the real hurdle and how it is finally getting easier, and the simplest place for you to start today. No big pitch this time, just a candid look at where this is all going and what she is doing about it. Learn more at aiforinteriordesigners.com Key Takeaways Jenna is done making wild five and ten year predictions, and she thinks you should be too. The tech is moving too fast and too unpredictably for anyone to call it. What matters is watching what is tangible right now and building from there. The real shift she sees coming is custom tools. Not chatbots, not always AI-powered, just apps that do exactly what you need. Designers are not web developers or data scientists, and for the first time they do not have to be. They live the work, which means they know what they need better than any third party ever could. The irony is not lost on her. The same developers who built the "is your living room ugly" apps and cut professional designers out for years have now built tools so good that designers can build it themselves, and finally cut them out of the things they were always told they needed. The backend is the part that actually stops people. Building an app is easy. Deploying it so others can use it, with login, security, and working APIs, is the wall. That used to be Jenna's whole disconnect, and it is getting easier every month across Gemini Studio, Base44, and Claude Code. Artifacts are the easiest entry point. They are little one-purpose apps built right inside Claude, like a pricing calculator or a proposal builder. You build it once, save it, and use it constantly with no backend headache. Everything Jenna builds now lives in one connected hub. Two years of little builds became the AI Social Club™: proposals, lead generators, her CRM, and the App Studio, all in one place. The rule she builds by is simple. If you do something twice, make an app for it. Then automate it.

  EP 75: Get Messy, Make Mistakes: Miss Frizzle Was Right

  Jun 19, 202647 min

  Episode 75: Get Messy, Make Mistakes This week I am taking you behind the scenes of something I usually keep private: the real, unglamorous work of building. After two years in the making, I finally launched Field Day and the AI Social Club™ app, and I want to talk about what that process actually looks like when you do it out loud. I get into why I build everything myself first, learn it inside and out, and then turn around and teach it to you. That is the whole reason I do what I do. When you hit a wall in your own design business, I have usually been right there, so I can walk you through it. I also share where I see our industry heading. The ChatGPT design client is real, new business models are popping up, and a clear divide is forming in who our ideal clients are now. None of this means designers are going anywhere. It means we get to build our own table instead of waiting for an invite to someone else's. What you will take away: Why I build, test, and learn every tool before I teach it How the interior design client is shifting in the age of AI The new business models showing up as designers adapt Why I build for community first, never just for me The Miss Frizzle rule I live by: get messy, make mistakes, and actually remember what you learned If this one resonated, follow the show so you never miss an episode, and share it with a designer friend who needs the reminder that the tech is the problem, not them.

  Ep 74: Your Software Was Not Built for You

  May 29, 202630 minS0

  <p >In episode 74 of the AI for Interior Designers Podcast, host Jenna Gaidusek gets into the idea that tools most interior designers have been using to run their businesses were created by tech companies and accountants, not by designers. And that mismatch has been quietly shaping (and limiting) the way you work for years.</p> <p >In this solo episode, Jenna breaks down why this happened, why the subscription sprawl is a symptom and not the actual problem, and why AI finally makes it possible to build tools that work the way you actually work — instead of the other way ar...
