In this episode, Casey and Rainey dive into the growing role of artificial intelligence in interior design—especially in the luxury space—and what it means for the future of design. While many worry that AI might replace designers, they take a different view. Casey and Rainey view it as a tool—not a threat—that can support the creative process, rather than take it over.

Together, they unpack common fears, share real-world experiences, and explore where AI can genuinely help (like streamlining workflows) versus where it falls short, particularly in the deeply human parts of their work. From reading a client’s emotional cues to navigating the unsaid during design conversations, listen as they reflect on what can’t be automated: empathy, intuition, and trust.
