Business of Design - Client Pipeline with Cheryl Horne - 38 min

Ideally, every business owner wants to have a lineup of customers and always know when the next job is coming. The most successful businesses sign projects via their pipeline, not chase their pipeline when projects dry up. Lack of consistent prospecting = inconsistent results and inconsistent revenue.

In this episode we learn:

- attract an abundance of potential clients with a well-tuned pipeline

- consider marketing methods for increasing the number of potential clients

- converting potential customers into paying projects is a primary focus

- create an editorial calendar and use it to keep clients coming back

Convo By Design - Cutting Edge Concepts Behind Designing for Wellness - 47 min

The concept of ‘healthy design’ is a constantly evolving idea as new technology comes to market and the ideas behind living healthy change. In years past, it was low off-gassing materials and VOC paints, then sleep chambers crafted for a high quality sleeping experience. As the pandemic continues to change the way we live, so has the idea that defines what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. Crafting luxury living both inside and out has become a universal goal to capture as much usable space while exploring ways to make that space perform in new ways. 

Simple and elegant, yet as you are going to hear, ideas about wellness change dramatically based on who you ask.  This group was cast with purpose. Each participant was hand picked for the individual superpower they possess and if you have listened to the show for a while, you have heard from each of them. Philip Vanderford of Studio Thomas James, Christina Garcia-Lysaught of Layered Dimensions and Shelly Rosenberg all bring a different perspective to this idea of what “wellness” means right now as it informs their work on behalf of their clients.  The conversation was moderated by Brenda Houston. Brenda works in a number of verticals that range from design to retail to product design which makes her the perfect person to bring out the gems from this highly-skilled group.
