#63 – Amy Barrickman: “Feng Shui? No way!”

  • Amy studied interior design, acting, and a little improv comedy.
  • Likes a beer brewed with raspberries called framboise. Amy thought it was German but the internet says it is Belgian.
  • Who wants a Beers with Engineers recipe exchange?
  • Interior designer versus interior decorator.
  • Feng shui is still a thing, but Amy doesn’t like it.
  • She was an actress before being a designer.
  • In pharmaceutical sales for a while. Hated it!
  • Engineers make choices with math; designers with heart.
  • She wrote her book “The Living Room Design Formula” because designers are often snobbish or rude.
  • “Good design is what you want and good design is what feels good to you.”
  • A business idea (or two) shared with the world.
  • The open concept layout is starting to swing back to more separation.
  • Design is shifting from cooler colors and white to brown.
  • If it looks level, it’s level. Amy and Bert agree.
  • Designers use more math than you might expect, even pi.
