They met on Instagram and are now design besties—together hosting the Hot Young Designers Club podcast, where they explore the emotional, practical, and humorous side of the interior design world.

[51:24] Shaun talks about dispelling the myth that designers can’t create a sustainable living for themselves LuAnn Nigara and Shaun Crha &amp; Rebecca Plumb's Ah-Ha Moments “We attract the type of clients that are attracted to our personality type and the type of business that we run. I think that's why there's so much room for all of us, because there's so many different kinds of people.” - Rebecca Plumb “I’ve learned a lot about my personality in this business.” - Rebecca Plumb “One of the biggest things that's come from developing relationships with Rebecca and other designers and creatives is this dispelling of the myth that designers can't create sustainable livings for themselves…It is possible to create a decent quality of life for ourselves that still has room to grow.” - Shaun Crha “When you run it like a business you can do your creative all day long.” - LuAnn Nigara More About Shaun Crha &amp; Rebecca Plumb: Rebecca Plumb (Studio Plumb) and Shaun Crha (Wrensted Interiors) came to interior design after other career paths. They met through Instagram while completing the popular One Room Challenge and turned their online banter into a real-life friendship while attending the semi-annual Las Vegas Market. They bring a sense of humor and irreverence to running their design businesses that spills over into the podcast. Their advice always come from a place of helpfulness delivered by your big sister and gay best friend.

850: Shaun Crha & Rebecca Plumb: How To Stay Young and Hot As a Designer

Shaun Crha’s career kicked off with a steady rise into the high-stakes world of banking. When the stress of the job nearly pushed him to a breaking point in his health, however, he decided to instead pursue a calling that aligned more closely with his values, and soon combined his business acumen with a long-overlooked creative spark to start his own design business. Just when the firm hit its peak, however, a family emergency brought everything crashing down around Crha once again. It was then that the designer reached another realization: It was time to rethink everything, starting with the inner workings of his business. LINKSSean CrhaKaitlin PetersenBusiness of HomeThis episode was sponsored by Atlanta Market and Currey &amp; Company.
