Why “Interior Designer” is a title worth fighting for | Samantha Rose of HCM

Épisode 221

lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 22:05

What does it really mean to be an interior designer, and why should designers be proud to own that title?

In this conversation, we explore why strengthening the interior design profession starts with designers themselves, from pursuing credentials and getting involved to advocating for a more unified voice. We also talk about the next generation of designers, the power of mentorship and industry connection, and how thoughtful design can make a measurable difference in healthcare and the way people experience space.

It’s a conversation about pride in the profession, advocating for its future, and recognizing the incredible impact interior designers have on people’s lives.

WorkX San Francisco: Inside the minds of workplace experience leaders

Épisode 220

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 18:21

What happens when workplace leaders from Meta, Google, Etsy, NVIDIA, WSP, Fresenius Medical Care and Acuity Brands, plus a workplace veteran whose career spans Alo, Netflix, Uber and Headspace, get in a room? You quickly realize they are wrestling with the same question: how do we make the workplace worth the commute for people and worth the investment for the business?

Fresh from WorkX San Francisco, we unpack the ideas that stuck with us. Francis Aquino on shrinking budgets and growing expectations. John Lopes of WSP on the workplace as a “value signal.” Jenn LaBelle of Etsy on piloting before committing. Sharad Aggarwal of Google Cloud on why AI makes human skills even more valuable. And Raymond Chan of NVIDIA and Chirag Kadiwar of Meta on choice, focus, collaboration and how we “bring the buzz back.”

The takeaway? Occupancy is not the goal. Value is. And people are still the biggest reason people choose the workplace.

Mothers of Design: Designing careers, raising families, and finding balance

Épisode 219

lundi 24 août 2026 • Durée 20:24

What does it really look like to build a meaningful career in design while raising a family?

In this special Imagine a Place episode, Maria VanDeman takes us inside Mothers of Design: Calling in the Double Shift, a live conversation in Knoxville, Tennessee, exploring the intersection of motherhood, design, leadership, and life.

Following the panel, Maria sat down with designers and leaders for candid mini conversations about what motherhood has taught them about empathy, presence, boundaries, asking for help, and navigating the changing seasons of a career. Their perspectives reveal that there is no single formula for balancing work and family and that doing it all doesn't mean doing it all at once or alone.

From learning to put down the phone and be present, to practicing saying no, leaning on community, and recognizing motherhood as a powerful form of leadership, these women share refreshingly real advice for anyone navigating ambition, caregiving, and a full life.

Whether you're a mother in design, lead working parents on your team, or simply want to build a more human workplace, this conversation is a reminder that healthy places require healthy people to design them.

Listen for an honest conversation about motherhood, interior design careers, working parents, leadership, work life balance, community, and finding grace in the season you're in.
