Most hosts start with a mood board; Andrea Moxham starts with a narrative. In this episode, I’m joined by virtual STR designer Andrea Moxham , who has mastered the art of turning properties into experience-driven destinations—often without ever stepping foot on-site. We talk about: How Andrea’s background in buyer psychology gives her a competitive edge in creating spaces that don’t just look good, but convert. How to craft a \"story\" for a property by mining local history, architecture, and even competitor reviews. Why leaning into a specific identity is the only way to win in saturated markets like beach towns or mountain retreats. Practical, high-impact design strategies for rugs, bedding, and curtains that transform a guest’s first impression. Navigating the challenges of remote projects—from color matching online to managing the guest journey from afar. But this isn't just about picking out furniture. It’s about design as a strategic business tool. Andrea pulls back the curtain on how she builds \"memorable moments\" around everyday features to ensure a property stands out in a crowded feed. You’ll hear why she believes hosts should never operate in a silo and how \"knowledge hacking\" through mentorship and community is the fastest way to scale a design-forward business. If you’ve been looking at your property as just a collection of rooms, this conversation will challenge you to see it as a story waiting to be told. Get ready to stop decorating and start designing for results.
