Laura Hodges: Leaning Into Sustainable, Ethical Design

 

Episode Details.

 

It’s no secret that the interior design industry can be one of over-consumption, unnecessary waste, harmful toxins and unsustainable resource harvesting. However, we believe that sustainability should be at the forefront of every project. In today’s episode, I’m chatting with LEED AP and GREEN AP interior designer Laura Hodges about how she implements more sustainable practices in her design business. Laura is taking us through her technical education in environmentally conscious interior design and how she puts it into practice in her design work. 

 

In this episode, Laura and I discuss:

  • How to forge a path to sustainable design
  • How sustainable design impacts a home’s livability
  • How to encourage clients to accept ethical design
  • Best practices for repurposing and reusing materials 
  • Which elements of interior design work are well recycled
  • Impactful sustainability practices interior designers should implement 
  • And more!
  •

    U.S. Green Building Council / LEED Website
    Sustainable Furnishings Council / Green AP
