Everyone shows the reveal. Nobody shows the pricing that didn't work, the hire that went sideways, or the month you couldn't pay yourself. This industry is performative as hell, and it's quietly making all of us worse at business. So we talk about the real thing here. Money, staff, construction, and the parts that aren't pretty.
Let’s set the tone
the part nobody
talks about
hey, i'm samantha renée.
FOUNDER OF STUDIO RENÉE, HOST OF THE REALLY RENÉE PODCAST, AND A DESIGNER WHO WOULD RATHER TALK ABOUT MARGINS THAN MOOD BOARDS.
I built a design firm past seven figures without a single person in this industry willing to tell me what things should actually cost. I learned it on job sites, in vendor negotiations, and in my own books. Slowly, and expensively.
Now I hand all of it over, including the parts that make me look bad. Because a designer who understands her numbers is unstoppable — and one who doesn't will burn out beautifully while everyone tells her how inspiring she is.
This isn't three tips and a mailing list. It's the same diagnostic I'd run on your business if you handed me your books — five sections, a hundred points, and a straight answer about which part is actually costing you.
BUSINESS, OR EXPENSIVE JOB?
Five sections, 100 points, about fifteen minutes

TOO HONEST FOR THE FEED.
What worked, what cost me money, and what I'd do differently — the parts that don't make it to the grid.
