What began as a friendship in a college dorm unfolds into a story of growth within the design profession — marked by pivots, promotions, and purpose. In this episode, Sara Meier, Interior Designer and Project Manager at CannonDesign, shares her journey from design school to a flexible, future-focused firm. She reflects on the power of saying yes to new challenges, seeking mentorship, and championing sustainable, human-centered design. We dive into the realities of design education, the lessons only experience can teach, and the drive to create healthier environments. Whether you're a student, a seasoned designer, or somewhere in between, this conversation is a reminder that where you start shapes you, but it doesn’t define where you can go.
