Interior Design: What Does Your Home Say About Your Identity?   | Emily Paulsen & Jamie Gasparovic

What if your home isn’t just a reflection of your taste, but a mirror of your story, your ambition, and how you want to feel in the world?In this episode of Curious Life of a Childfree Woman, Emily Paulsen speaks with Jamie Gasparovic, founder of Studio Gaspo, an interior design firm known for creating bold, identity-driven spaces that are anything but ordinary. Together, they explore how our environments can shape our energy, influence our confidence, and quietly reinforce who we believe we are becoming.This conversation is less about trends and more about intention. Jamie explains why starting with your own identity, not Pinterest, is the key to designing a home that feels meaningful, and how everything from material choices to layout can affect your daily experience. Whether someone is working with a designer or figuring it out room by room, this episode offers a new lens on how space and self are deeply connected.For anyone who wants their home to feel like a true extension of who they are—not just what’s in style—this episode invites a more personal, empowered approach to design.Key Takeaways:Design can be a form of self-expression. Homes designed with identity in mind feel more personal, impactful, and aligned with the lives people want to live.Pinterest isn’t the starting point. Meaningful design begins with self-awareness, not aesthetics. Looking inward helps clarify what a space needs to support.Materials matter. From the tactile feel of fabrics to the natural presence of stone, the textures we live with every day affect how we feel.Placeholders are okay. It’s better to evolve a space over time than to rush into choices that don’t resonate. Thoughtfulness beats perfection.Function and feeling go hand-in-hand. Design isn’t just about beauty—it’s about ease, intention, and creating an environment that works for your real life.—Host Emily Paulsen is an accomplished entrepreneur and happily childfree woman shining a light on the often overshadowed childfree-by-choice perspective.
