Weekly Newsletter Nov. 14 '25 - From Corporate Girly to Small Business Owner

Hi there, designer 👋

12 incredible years in the design world going into my 13th year in less than 2 months! As I look back, I can’t help but feel grateful for every twist, turn, and lesson that got me here.

Design has always been more than a job to me - it’s who I am. From the days of rearranging my childhood furniture to finally getting accepted into FIT after my first rejection, every step taught me resilience, creativity, and the beauty of never giving up on your dreams.

After years in the corporate design world - the late nights, the pressure, the endless deadlines - I realized I wanted more freedom, more meaning, and more connection. That’s when I built Anastasia Mitrovic Interiors LLC… and eventually, Interior Design Den.

Interior Design Den was born out of one simple idea: to help other designers feel supported and confident using the same tools that changed my own career. I wanted to create the kind of mentorship I wished I had - one that combines skill-building, storytelling, and community.

So if you’re here reading this, I want to say a huge thank you. Whether you’re a new designer eager to master SketchUp, Enscape, and AutoCAD - or a seasoned pro looking to streamline your workflow - you’re in the right place.

This newsletter is where I’ll share behind-the-scenes stories, design insights, practical tips, and honest reflections about growing as a designer and as a human being. Think of it as our creative corner - where we learn, laugh, and flourish together.

Here’s to designing with passion, courage, and heart. From one designer to another  welcome to the next chapter of your journey 💚

With love & care,
Ana

Weekly Newsletter Dec. 19 '25 - 2025 Grand Finale: Norovirus, Flu + New Proposal Signed!
Hi there, designer 👋 If your December feels like a marathon with a cough drop in hand, you’re not alone. This week has been chaos in my house — my son & husband went from vicious norovirus straight into the flu, hitting 104–105° fevers (send soup and prayers, please 😅). Between disinfecting every surface in sight, wrapping xmas gifts, and managing my design consultations, I’ve been holding it t...
Weekly Newsletter Dec. 12 '25 Why I Charge $500 for a Design Consultation
Hi there, designer 👋 If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been totally MIA lately (lol, sorry not sorry!). That only means one thing — I’ve been deep in the behind-the-scenes work, really focusing on my businesses. Over the past two months, I’ve been job hunting, and I’ve had three major design consultations that will basically shape my entire 2026! Earlier this year, I l...
Weekly Newsletter Dec. 5 '25 When Going Above and Beyond Becomes Too Much
Hi there, designer 👋 Well, we’re at the last month of this year! Phew - I’m so ready to put this one behind... I don’t know if you can relate, but this has been one of the most difficult years I can remember - it felt like no matter how much I planned or poured in, something always went sideways...
