FRANK & EILEEN: You’re a former lifestyle blogger, published author, and founder of Caitlin Flemming Design. What inspired you to start an interior design firm?
CAITLIN: I started my career working at a publishing house but longed for a more creative role. After working for a designer for a year, I made the leap and started my own firm. I have loved every minute of the adventures of design. No two days are alike, and that’s perfect for me. Writing and creating books have continued my exposure to beautiful homes around the world.

F&E: You’ve said that your travels inspire and inform your interiors aesthetic. Would you say the same goes for your personal style? What are your go-to pieces?
CAITLIN: There is no question that travel has a huge influence on my design aesthetic. When I travel, I'm able to absorb everything around me and learn from environments different from my own. When it comes to my wardrobe, I think about how something will travel before anything else. That’s why I love Frank & Eileen pieces—they are so versatile, comfortable, and look great!

F&E: Do you have any words of wisdom for women looking to pivot their passion project into a business?
CAITLIN: I think a passion project can move into a way you make your living. But, you do need to be willing to work hard and embrace parts of the business that might not be as fun—like billing and paperwork. Still, in the end, you will be happier doing something you love with more flexibility in your life.
