Welcome to our bonus first episode, where we're giving you a sneak peek into who we are and what we're all about! This episode may not dive into the depths of interior design education, but it's a chance for you to get to know the faces behind the podcast. Fair warning: the sound quality isn't quite up to par with our main episodes, but we promise it's worth it for the laughs!

Join us as we embark on our very first recording adventure, filled with giggles, one innuendo (or maybe more), and plenty of fun anecdotes. It's a raw and unfiltered glimpse into our lives as interior designers, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Welcome to The Interior Design Podcast—a UK-based educational journey through the world of interior design!

I'm Hayley Roy, an Interior Designer, Entrepreneur, and proud owner of Harp Design. Joining me as my co-host is Cheryl Sutton, an Interior and Architectural Designer, and the creative force behind Rebels Design.

Cheryl and I have been collaborating for six years, weaving together our expertise and friendship to bring you an authentic podcast experience. Expect some colorful language (yes, we might drop a few F-bombs) because we're passionate and unapologetically opinionated about our craft. Oh, and we also have a penchant for innuendos!

Each episode is structured into three exciting sections:

1. Catch-Up: We kick things off by sharing highlights from our week and giving you a sneak peek into the projects we're currently working on.
2. Education: Get ready to learn as we invite industry experts to discuss all things interior design, aiming to provide you with valuable insights and knowledge.
3. Discussion Time: In this segment, Cheryl and I dive deeper into the topic covered in the Education section, offering our perspectives, thoughts, and maybe even a few debates!
