How can design proceed now that every detail—from presentations to orders to installations—needs to be done from a distance? How do you motivate your staff, reassure clients, and stay on top of your workrooms and artisans to make sure your workflow is flowing? Three top talents weigh in on what has worked for them in the past, the tools and processes they use, and how they have adapted to the new “remote” world: Atlanta designer Tish Mills, Courtney Coleman of Brockschmidt and Colman, with offices in New York and New Orleans, and New York-based fabric and interior designer Katie Leede.

In this episode, our guests tackle:

• How technology has changed the way we work, both at the office and at home
• Operating remotely, exploring different technologies and how to best connect with your team while working from home 
• Ways to stay on top of your workrooms and artisans to make sure your workflow is flowing smoothly
• Suggestions about how to lead your team remotely through a crisis and adjust to stress of the unknown 
• The impact of COVID-19 on projects both in-progress and coming down the pipeline 
• The importance of home, now that we’re spending so much more time in them
