I’m going to be really honest for a minute…
AI has completely changed parts of the interior design industry—and for a moment, it honestly shook my confidence.
When people can generate “designs” and ideas in seconds, it makes you stop and think:
Where do I fit in this?
But the more I’ve sat with it, the more I’ve realized something important.
AI can create inspiration.
But it can’t bring a project to life.
It can’t walk a job site.
It can’t coordinate contractors.
It can’t catch costly mistakes before they happen.
And it can’t take responsibility for the final result.
That’s where I come in.
I’ve always believed that design is more than just how something looks—it’s how it functions, how it’s built, and how it actually works for your life.
This industry is changing, and so am I.
But I’m leaning even more into what I do best—helping clients create spaces they love without having to manage all the stress and decisions on their own.
If you or someone you know is planning a remodel or new build, I’d love to be part of that process 🤍- Janele Stratton Designs
