LuAnn Nigara and Robyn White's Ah-Ha Moments

  • “The more marketing you do, the more you’ll start to realize that people don’t care that much about what you’re trying to sell to them, because it’s not about them. When you turn the tables and make your marketing about how you help them and what problems you solve, they become interested.” - Robyn White

  • “If I can read a page on your website and I can substitute any person’s name for this because there’s nothing so specific that is only you, then you haven’t done your job in explaining who you are or what it’s like to work with you.” - LuAnn Nigara

The Interior Collective - Laura Hodges: Leaning Into Sustainable, Ethical Design - 45 min

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.

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
