In this episode, I’m joined by the incredibly talented Marcy Sagel, founder and principal of MSA Interiors. Since launching her firm in 2004, Marcy has led her team with a strong belief in collaboration—partnering with developers, architects, and builders to create spaces that are both beautiful and deeply functional. With a portfolio that spans multifamily housing to healthcare environments, Marcy shares how design becomes a powerful tool for transformation, connection, and lasting impact.

We dive into the evolving conversation around designing for aging in place—why it’s not just about seniors, but about creating accessible, thoughtful spaces for all stages of life. Marcy brings her global experience, her work with top manufacturers, and her trend-forward insights to this important discussion. This episode is packed with wisdom on future-proofing your design work and thinking beyond the now.
