September 15, 2021 How Resale is Revitalizing Home, Fashion and the Environment
This summer’s severe weather—floods, droughts, wildfires—made it more clear than ever that we need to become better stewards of the planet. But how can home design and fashion become more responsive? Jennifer Sey, Executive Vice President & President of Levi’s Brand and Anna Brockway, Co-Founder & President of Chairish discuss how their respective industries are changing, why vintage is crucial, and how something as simple as keeping pieces longer can have a major impact.

September 01, 2021 Expanded Family, Limited Space—the New Design Dilemma
Even before Covid, housing shortages, high rents, and rising real estate prices were challenging the ideal of the single-family home. Now the pandemic has disrupted the living situation of thousands of elder parents and young adults, made clear the central importance of family, and led to thousands of multi-generational households. But what to do when a family expands, but its space doesn’t? Designers Janie Molster, Shari Francis, and Brynn Olson discuss how design can come to the aid of the newly enlarged household, why walls and doors are back, the importance of workspaces and private nooks, and why mother-in-law apartments may just be the next big design trend.

August 18, 2021 Designing the Next Generation of Hotels and Restaurants
After a rough year, hotels and restaurants are back. Gatherings are happening, and travel
will continue, but has the pandemic changed what we expect when we go out, or when we
check in? How do designers make people feel safe and cared for? Three top hospitality
designers—Pamela Babey of BAMO, Matt Berman of Workshop/APD, and Adam Farmerie
of AvroKO— share their insights on how business travel will morph, why outdoor spaces
will become more important than ever, how the idea of service is evolving (but why robots
are unlikely to be checking you in), and why the mini-bar will never be the same.

August 04, 2021 Can Austin Boom and Still Stay Weird?
Austin is perhaps the most creative, bohemian city in Texas—the state capitol, a college
town, a hub for music, food, and fun. But it is also one of the fastest growing cities in the US,
with an influx of tech companies and entrepreneurs. In the face of all the new wealth and
gentrification, what is to become of the city’s design scene? Three passionate Austin
lovers—designers Fern Santini, Avery Cox, and Malcolm James Kutner—weigh in on its
changing culture, the growing sophistication of clients, and ways the town can sustain
craftsmanship and collaboration and not lose its bohemian heart.

July 24, 2021 Why Is British Style Back?
Americans have had a long love affair with British style, but the relaxed, layered, and richly detailed rooms the British seem to create so effortlessly often don’t jibe with the hectic American lifestyle—or the pared-down architecture of so many American houses and apartments. It isn’t easy to live the Downton Abbey life on this side of the Atlantic. Yet a new generation of young US designers and clients are increasingly attracted to the comfort and worn elegance of English rooms. Two exemplars of classic British style, designer Penny Morrison and Sue Jones, a founder of OKA, tell how the British look is evolving, why comfort and confidence remain all-important, how American energy can reinvigorate tradition, and why dogs are so crucial to the look.

July 07, 2021 What Clients Say—And What They Really Mean
The relationship between designer and client is crucial to the success of any project. But how do you know if the chemistry is right? Is there any way to tell if the client/designer matchup will work—or if this is the wrong client for you? Designers Susan Zises Green and Joy Moyler draw on their decades of success to share tips about how to size up clients during initial interviews, what to look and listen for, when to bring up the delicate subject of budgets, how to insure respect, and why you might want to be careful about turning clients into friends.

June 23, 2021 Is Social Media Your Most Important Business Tool?
Social media has affected design in myriad ways—how designers market their work, gain
new clients, discover new vendors, and share ideas and proposals with clients. But social
media is constantly evolving and it’s not easy keeping up. Designers Carmeon Hamilton and
Caitlin Flemming share how they have navigated social media from the early days of their
blogs to their current large Instagram followings, where they focus their efforts now, and
discuss why Pinterest has become a crucial creative tool, how Instagram hooks them up
with artisans and small vendors, and why web sites, after all these years, remain relevant.

June 09, 2021 Bunny Williams on Design Past and Present
Few decorators have had the longevity or the impact of Bunny Williams. Ever since her first job at the legendary firm of Parish Hadley, she has been creating rooms that meld beauty with comfort and a sense of welcome. Renowned as a gardener as well as a designer, she was in the vanguard of shaping today’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle. An author and a furniture designer, she has also promoted the careers of many other designers through her work with the Kips Bay Showhouse. In her first podcast appearance, Bunny discusses the importance of understanding the business side of our creative industry, whether instinct or training is more important, the value and danger of Instagram and Pinterest, why antiques still matter, and how despite changes in styles and trends, the role of the designer remains constant—to bring homes to life and help their clients to live a beautiful life.

May 26, 2021 Why Is The Design Industry Turning to Print Magazines?
In this age of digital everything, is print becoming the new go-to media? Why are so many design companies, from brick-and-mortar retailers to online behemoths, using print to engage and entice their customers and clients? Three industry leaders who have had major success online—Dara Caponigro of Schumacher, Julia Noran Johnston of Business of Home, and Anna Brockway of Chairish—share why they have launched print publications, how print’s impact came to be undervalued, why publishing on paper has become important to their businesses, and the impact that can come from filling people’s mailboxes with beauty and inspiration.
