I’ve been experimenting with AI as part of my design process recently, and this was an interesting test.

Each concept started as a traditional interior design moodboard. Materials, furniture, lighting, color palette, and artwork were carefully selected to define the direction of the space. I then used AI to translate those boards into rendered environments.

What’s remarkable is how quickly the technology can visualize ideas that previously required lengthy rendering workflows. It creates an opportunity to explore design concepts faster and communicate spatial ideas more clearly.

At the same time, the experiment reinforced something important. AI didn’t create the design. The palette, furniture selections, proportions, and overall vision were already defined by the moodboard—AI simply helped bring that concept to life visually.

In that sense, AI isn’t replacing designers. It’s becoming another tool within the creative process, and I suspect we’re only at the beginning of how technology will reshape design workflows.

A successful design project requires more than creative ideas. It requires structure, communication, and a clear process.

Jonathan’s family came to me after past projects felt disorganized, even with talented designers involved. For their lake house, we focused on a clear process from the start so every decision stayed aligned with their vision, timeline, and investment. The result is a home that feels cohesive, personal, and easy to live in.

A few of my favorite business quotes. ⭐️

Many homeowners bring in a designer after something in a project has already gone sideways. More often than not, the biggest value of working with a designer is preventing those issues from happening in the first place.

The early decisions in a project (layout, lighting, material selections, scale) shape how the home will function and feel long after construction is finished. When those decisions are made thoughtfully from the beginning, the process becomes far more efficient and the final result is far more cohesive.

Broadway Lofts is one of those projects where the building already had incredible character.

The property was originally a sewing factory in downtown Macon, which meant tall ceilings, oversized windows, and beautiful industrial details were already part of the architecture. The focus of this project was transforming the shared spaces so they felt just as compelling as the building itself. The lobby, fitness center, bathrooms, and work areas needed to feel welcoming, functional, and aligned with the personality of the property.

One of my favorite moments from the project is the custom arched iron and glass door in the lobby. Small architectural details like that can completely shift how a space feels the moment you walk in.

Projects like this are always a great reminder that thoughtful design can change how people experience a building every day. Learn more about this project here: https://lesleymyrick.com/broadway-lofts-macon-ga/

Great hotels are carefully designed to feel calm, intentional, and comfortable the moment you walk in.

That feeling rarely comes from one dramatic design decision. More often, it’s the result of several thoughtful elements working together. Lighting that creates warmth, furniture scaled appropriately for the room, layered textures, and details that feel considered rather than random.

Many of the same principles that make hotel spaces so inviting can easily translate to a living room at home. Often the transformation comes from a handful of design moves that elevate the entire space.

One of the most common patterns I see at the start of a renovation is decision overload. Homeowners often believe the key to a good outcome is seeing every possible option before committing, which means looking at more finishes, more fixtures, and more materials.

But when every option stays open, the design loses direction.

The most successful projects usually begin the opposite way. The vision is clarified early, decisions are edited carefully, and the design gains momentum instead of hesitation.

Part of my role is helping clients move from possibility to clarity so the project can move forward with confidence.

One of the biggest sources of stress during renovations is decision fatigue. Many homeowners assume they need to evaluate dozens of options to make the “right” choice. In practice, too many options usually create hesitation and second-guessing later in the project.

My process focuses on establishing clarity early so the major design decisions are made with long-term context in mind. When finishes, layouts, and materials are chosen holistically, clients don’t feel the need to revisit them months later.

I’m proud to be featured in ELLE DECOR discussing eco-friendly home trends for 2026.

The conversation around sustainability is maturing. Clients are asking for healthier materials, longer-lasting finishes, smarter systems, and homes that perform as beautifully as they look. Luxury and responsibility are no longer separate conversations, they’re the same one.
