What if design wasn’t about fitting in—but about reflecting who we really are?

In this episode of Create A Place, Kristina sits down with Oren Sherman—artist, educator and workplace innovator—to explore why the next era of design is rooted in individuality, customization and belonging.

They dive into:

  • Why one-size-fits-all workplaces no longer work
  • How small design choices—like color and graphics—can shift how people feel
  • Why listening matters more than assuming what employees need
  • How creativity often comes from stepping away and opening your mind
  • Why manners in design are simply about helping people feel at ease

    • It’s a thoughtful, story-rich conversation about dignity, belonging, and creating places where people feel seen. And Oren gives us a glimpse of what’s next in workplace design through his inventive 3D pattern technology—turning static surfaces into dynamic, immersive experiences.

    🎙️ At the heart of it: Oren reminds us that great design has the power to both create and transform.
