Brogan Cox on running a design business with her husband and introducing motherhood to the mix

On Design with Justyna Green

Brogan Cox is the creative director at Sebastian Cox. Sebastian is Brogan’s husband, and the two together appeared on the 9th episode of the podcast in November 2018.

Brogan is the first-ever returning guest and she’s had lots happening since we last spoke. Not only she released her first furniture collection, but also managed the business throughout the pandemic, moved out of London and had two babies.

In our conversation, we get to know Brogan before she joined Sebastian to run the business together and we talk about how to run a design business well: from setting up team appraisals and responding to press emails to forecasting revenue. Brogan also shares her tips for running a business with a partner and reflects on how she’s evolved personally, in the relationship and within the business after she became a mum.
