Brand and Identity Through Interior Design with Courtney Otte
Courtney Otte started The Modern Hive Interior Design at 22 — not out of confidence, but out of a fear that no one else would hire her. Fourteen years later, she runs a luxury, white-glove design firm that helps homeowners and business owners avoid the kind of costly mistakes that come from skipping professional guidance, like a client's $50,000 set of doors that never should have been ordered. In this episode, Courtney sits down with Brodrick to talk about why bringing a designer in early saves money and heartache down the road, how office and workspace design shapes both first impressions and employee wellbeing, and the psychology behind spaces that make people want to stay. They also get into the tricky terrain of clients running designs through AI for a second opinion, the importance of setting boundaries as a leader, and how Courtney's own style has softened from 90s mid-century minimalism into something more Parisian and lived-in. Plus, a detour into scrunched socks, frosted tips, and why the 80s and 90s never really left. If you've ever wondered how much your space says about your brand before a single word is spoken, pull up a chair for this one.
