June 29, 2022 Designing in LA Today
Los Angeles has long been a city of dreams and a hotbed of creativity and innovation. The city has embraced numerous styles over the years, witnessed the triumph of celebrity culture, and set trends that resonate across the country. So, what’s next, design-wise, for the City of Angels? Three LA designers—Betsy Burnham, Jeff Andrews, and Mimi Shin—talk about creating homes for the city’s new creative class, the trends their clients are asking for (pickleball, anyone?), why having a celebrity client can be a mixed blessing, and how the city’s disregard for traditional aesthetic rules can be challenging—but also inspiring.

May 18, 2022 How a Creative Collaboration Works
Travel can be inspiring in ways that go way beyond the expected. Product designer, entrepreneur, and frequent traveler Annie Selke loved her stays at Firmdale Hotels in New York and London so much she became a huge fan of their co-founder and designer, Kit Kemp. When the duo finally had the opportunity to work together—with Annie in Massachusetts and Kit in London—on a line of rugs, bedding, and accessories, creative sparks flew, and a lasting bond was formed. The collaborators reveal what brought them together, how Kit’s experience in hospitality brought a fresh vision to designs for the home, why working long distance was not a problem, and what’s next on their agenda.

Three designers who have successfully made the transition—Summer Thornton, Leyden Lewis, and Zoë Feldman—share their hard-won wisdom, reveal their early blunders, the naive assumptions they made and the lessons they learned, and tell why sometimes you just need to fake it till you make it.

April 06, 2022 Suzanne Tucker on the California Look and Beyond
San Francisco designer Suzanne Tucker has been a force in the design world virtually since she started as “secretary” to iconic designer Michael Taylor, who is credited with creating the California Look. In this intimate look at her career, she talks about her transition to becoming Taylor’s protégé and successor, how she managed to thrive in San Francisco’s male-dominated design scene of the 1980s, the launch of her fabric line, why she considers antiques and vintage pieces to be crucial, how clients have changed over the years, and why learning what your clients don’t like can often be your most effective tool.

March 23, 2022 Finding Talent, Keeping Talent—What Every Design Firm Should Know
Finding the right staff, and holding on to your current team, are two of the biggest challenges facing any design firm. As business has soared during the pandemic, designers have found it increasingly difficult to find and train new hires, and to manage their current staff and keep morale high in the face of remote work and increasing competition for talent. Designers Beth Martin of San Francisco and Charleston-based Cortney Bishop join creative recruiter Billy Clark to discuss the staffing situation today, the strategies that have worked for them, how hiring has changed, and why retaining the staff you have is probably worth the effort.

February 23, 2022 Where are Americans Moving—and What Does It Mean for Designers?
The pandemic and the rise of remote work has had a huge impact on how—and where—Americans want to live. There have been all kinds of reports—often conflicting—on where people are moving, and what it means for the future. Has there been a rush to the suburbs? Are cities dead? And how does it affect designers in the cities that have become hot new destinations? Amanda Pendleton of Zillow gives the lowdown on what the data truly reveals about where Americans are moving, while designers Mallory Mathison of Atlanta and Hannah Crowell of Nashville share what the design scene is like in two of the top 10 cities experiencing an influx of new residents, what it means for their business, and why starter homes may be a thing of the past.
