Description

Carrie Tolman is the Associate Principal at KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group. She has a keen eye for interior design and uses her roots in southern hospitality to help influence the style she uses today. She joins host Dan Ryan to share her #hospitality journey and how she got to where she is now.


Takeaways: 

 

  • Hospitality by definition is temporary lodging. You want to make it feel like more than that though, you want to make it a home away from home.
  • Architecture is sculpture in motion.
  • Design can be part of a beautiful experience. It can help create a beautiful view and it is a work of art.
  • Southern hospitality is world renowned and it’s an expectation when you go there. It’s an art of how you entertain and host. 
  • Interior design and hospitality are both about the service level and how you can create an experience for your guests.
  • Reconnecting with those around you is important. It’s a nice idea to get away and really focus on those you love and share personal experiences.
  • Right now we are experiencing the great American migration. They are leaving urban environments and moving out to spaces that don’t cost as much.


Quote of the Show:

 

7:45 “If you look at hospitality, what it is by definition is a temporary lodging, a domicile away from your own home.  Whether it's an extended stay or, or not. And so those skills that I learned how to make people feel welcome and good within those spaces at a home applied, just in a much larger scale for hospitality.”
