2021 - A Year in Review

On this episode of Inside Design, we're excited to review our year - big projects, Design for a Day projects, speaking engagements, travel and of course our favorite moments on the podcast.. It's no secret that 2021 was a challenge in the interior design industry. Our business was busier than ever this past year and thankfully, we were still able to pull off some amazing work even with lack of product, supply chain issues, and multiple installs. Tune in to hear more from us as we break down the best of 2021!

Key Takeaways:

• Despite the challenging year with supply-chain issues and delays- Kelly and Joann had a busy and successful year and kept open communication with their clients as they worked on projects.
• Interviewing different people on the podcast gave them great perspective on different aspects of products and designs and keeps ideas fresh and new.
• Even when things are challenging, waking up and thinking "I get to do this" and it's a deliberate choice I'm making is helpful in staying positive and productive in your line of work.
