Manage episode 376822349 series 3318993
I'm back! Today's guest, Hema Persad, is the epitome of authenticity and a personal inspiration when it comes to thinking about my career. She's an interior designer based in LA and the founder of Sagrada Studio. Her portfolio includes homes of A-list clients like Jay Shetty, Deepika Mutyala, Poorna Jagannathan, and many more. In our conversation, we get real about pivoting careers, navigating self-doubt, and finding your voice through your interior design.
Hema's journey is a true testament to self-discovery. She began as an attorney, practicing for several years, then moved across the country to LA, where she worked in celebrity fashion styling for nearly a decade before eventually finding her passion in interior design. She shares her insights on work ethic and how she managed all this while raising a family. We touch on why self-doubt can be a driving force, the idea that you don't have to love everything you do, and her design recommendations for finding individuality in your living spaces.
Hema reminds you that sometimes, you have to shed old identities and connections to become the person you want to be. It's all part of the process of personal evolution! She’s not just an incredible interior designer; she's a genuinely inspirational person with so many life lessons to share. Tune in and soak up her wisdom!
