Takeaways: 

 

  • Hospitality is a great opportunity to serve humanity. It allows you to connect with others and the world around you.
  • Interior design really speaks to the guests as a whole. It brings a sense of community to the guest and makes them feel welcomed and at home.
  • You want to try and collaborate with other professionals who are not like you or think differently than you, as that brings a whole new perspective to your work.
  • Align with other great organizations and community leaders so that you can better solve issues within your community.
  • It’s important to shift the conversation around diversity to how it really is a fantastic business approach for companies and organizations
  • You need to have the confidence to stand up if you are being overlooked but also some vulnerability as well.
  • Part of hospitality is about sharing. Everyone can benefit from sharing and it can help shorten other people’s journeys.


Quote of the Show:

 

5:40  “There's just something about interior design that I think really speaks to the heart, body, mind and soul of end-users that provides this real sort of connective tissue to both the community of users and how they're interacting with space.”
