Today’s guest is not only a seasoned design entrepreneur, but also a dear friend and a familiar voice here on The Interior Collective. I’m so excited to welcome back Bria Hammel, the visionary behind Bria Hammel Interiors and Brooke & Lou.

If you’ve been with us since the early seasons, you might remember Bria’s first appearance in Season 2, Episode 2, where she shared her insights on pivoting through uncertainty with strength and strategy. That episode is still one of our most listened-to—and for good reason.

This time, Bria’s back to pull back the curtain on her most recent and ambitious move: opening a second interior design office in a completely different city. We’ll get into the why, how, and what now of growing her team across state lines, building systems that can scale, and leading with confidence from afar.

Whether you’re dreaming of expanding your business or simply curious what it actually takes to make a multi-city firm run smoothly, this episode is full of practical insights and candid reflections you won’t want to miss.
