#056 - The Email That Changed My Life as a Designer — by Marc Müskens

Send us a text

Do you remember your first major interior design project? 

Every designer remembers that first moment when everything shifts.
For me, it happened in a tiny 9 square meter student room, sitting under my loft bed, still wearing my waiter uniform, refreshing my inbox before rushing to a charity dinner shift.

And then it appeared.
A new inquiry.
A complete apartment renovation.
From someone who believed I had a real design studio… when in reality, my “office” was squeezed between a sink and a sofa bed.

In this personal story, I take you back to the night that email came in, the disbelief, the excitement, the fear, and the courage it took to simply say yes.

You will hear about:
• starting from nothing and believing anyway
• navigating impostor syndrome as a young designer
• the moment I decided to stop doubting myself
• how showing up opens doors you didn’t know existed
• why your circumstances never define your potential

This episode is a reminder that every designer starts somewhere.
Sometimes in a beautiful studio.
Sometimes under a loft bed with a five euro bicycle waiting outside.

What matters is that you take the step.
Because one email can change everything.

Listen, feel, and remember your own first project.
Your journey deserves to be celebrated too.
