Your Space Might Look Good… But Still Be Wrong

What if your space looks beautiful… but still doesn’t feel right?

In this episode, Jen Maldonado sits down with interior designer Maya Moghadam to unpack the difference between design that simply looks good and design that truly works for your life. With over 20 years of experience across residential, commercial, and international projects, Maya shares how real design goes far beyond aesthetics.

This conversation explores how intentional design can shape how you feel, function, and live every single day. Maya explains why understanding a client’s lifestyle is the foundation of every successful space—and why skipping that step often leads to costly mistakes.

You’ll also hear the truth behind common misconceptions about interior design, including why it’s not just a luxury service and how working with a trained designer can actually save money in the long run. From mismatched spaces to “copy-paste” homes, Maya breaks down what goes wrong and how to fix it.

Jen and Maya also dive into the psychology of design, decision-making with clients, and how great designers balance creativity with education. Plus, Maya shares insights from working across cultures, what luxury really means today, and how she’s built a referral-only business rooted in client experience.
