Inspiring the Next Generation - Dina Lamanna - Episode # 057


Listen Later

Dina Lamanna is the Principal, Director of Hospitality Interior Design at The HOK NY Studio. She is a seasoned veteran in the design and development of international hotel projects. Her passion for guiding the next generation of designers is evident in her work as an adjunct professor at New York School of Interior Design. Dina joins host Dan Ryan to talk about her journey through #hospitality and what it all means to her.


Takeaways: 

  • There’s a visual aspect to learning and teaching design, and it doesn’t always come to people naturally so you have to get creative with it.
  • There’s a stigma against being a designer that tends to scare people away but it is very different from what people would expect it to be.
  • Hospitality is providing guests and patients with an experience and a feeling when they enter a certain place. 
  • People spend 90% of their time indoors, so designers have a responsibility to create spaces that are unique and feel different from other places.
  • If you can make a space feel familiar and comfortable, then the stress level for that person will go down.
  • The last two years have actually opened up a tremendous opportunity for design to create the next space of buildings and environments that define our future.
  • Collaboration with others can help to unlock a new potential or opportunities for the design space.


Quote of the Show:

7:26 “We want to bring a return on investment that isn't always measured in a spreadsheet, that there's an instant impact that our guests or our patients feel when they enter these spaces.”
