As I travel through North America, I meet extraordinary people every day who are advocating for the value of interior design. Allow me to introduce you to a few of these inspired designers. Just like you, through a passion for their work they are enhancing the style of their clients’ lives and strengthening the market for interior design.
In Atlanta, Jo Rabaut is contributing her distinguished leadership to a regional effort to revitalize the market and inspire consumer desire in design.
Chicago is the home literally and professionally for Susan Fredman. At her reception in her new “Home in the City,” I met Susan Brunstrum of sweetpeasdesign and discovered what a real marketer can design for her most innovative and brand-specific website.
In Denver at Priscilla Cornell, Tyler Swoverland and his business partner market their brand before, during and after designing, especially at post-installation parties in their client’s new décor.
Marveilleux in Montreal, I had the pleasure of meeting Steven Sadowitz while visiting Celadon Collection with Barrett Plasman of Bolier.

Lionel Morrison, whose hand is on several distinguished details of the Dallas Skyline, knows that "my brand is always speaking even when I don't hear it."
Florida always evokes spirit and experience, here personified by Eve Beres, Jennifer Trevisiol and Debra J. Stein. Debra is also a graduate of the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID), where I teach.
Boston has a legacy of design personified by Bill Ellinoff, ASID, an advocate for the profession and resource for Kravet, Lee Jofa and so many decorative furnishings.
Jill Litner Kaplan draws on her business background to make her design business more valuable for her clients and fulfilling for her.
All of these inspired designers make my work so rewarding. And there are so many more of you. So for now, please excuse the brevity and all the omissions – I just didn’t have the space to include everyone. In the next post here, you will find others from the West Coast. Inspired? Who would you like to meet?
