“If my sophomore-in-college self realized how much fun I’m having jamming out to an Excel spreadsheet right now, I would be on the floor.” Design leader by day. Watercolor artist by night. Rebekah Jacobi shares how embracing her duality has reshaped her leadership, her creativity, and her impact in the commercial interiors industry.
What happens when a commercial interior designer falls in love with Excel spreadsheets and watercolor painting?
In this episode, Alexandra sits down with Rebekah Jacobi, Design Director at Pivot Interiors in San Francisco, to explore what it means to be a whole creative human in the commercial interiors industry. From leading high-level workplace design strategy and tracking performance metrics to rediscovering watercolor painting and surface pattern design, Rebekah shares how embracing her duality has transformed the way she leads.
We talk about data, design time tracking, decision making, creative identity, and the courage it takes to evolve beyond your job title. If you’re a design leader, interior designer, or creative professional navigating the balance between business and artistry, this conversation will leave you rethinking what it really means to thrive in this industry.
Sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is make space to create.
