LuAnn Nigara and Sara Lynn Brennan's Ah-Ha Moments
“The idea behind full-service design is to take care of all the details and ensure that the space is fully completed and functional, so that everyone can enjoy it without feeling that there’s something else that needs to be done to it.” - LuAnn
“Sara sets the expectations early on, from their marketing to their consultations, and all the way through the design process.” - LuAnn
The Interior Collective - Anastasia Casey - Stefani Stein: Growing a Design Studio While Maintaining a Small Team - 56 min
While we often have guests on this show with large teams and multiple departments, the reality is, not every interior designer wants to have a large studio. Remaining small and nimble allows for more creativity as the principal designer, less people management, and a more flexible schedule.
Today, host Anastasia Casey welcomes award winning Los Angeles based multidisciplinary designer, Stefani Stein, as we explore the logistics and intentions behind scaling a design studio while maintaining a small team.
