Zoë opens up about her path from working under Alexa Hampton to building her own nationally recognized firm, how she balances bold design with timeless appeal, and why vulnerability has been a secret ingredient to her success. Together, Caroline and Zoë explore the emotional side of design, from managing client expectations to creating spaces that truly reflect the people who live in them.
