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.

How a Creative Collaboration Works May 18, 2022

Show notes

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.

Show notes

Finding the right staff, and holding on to your current team, are two of the biggest challenges facing any design firm.

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.
