- Why Kate quit her six figure job in corporate America to become an interior designer
- Working in a home office before you start paying for an office outside the home
- All the things design school failed to teach her
- How to teach people to respect your boundaries
- Charging an hourly rate - it is the only way to go
- Why you need to run a profit and loss statement at the end of every project
- How Kate was able to buy and store vintage pieces
