32: Art, Design, & Affordability [Roundtable]
For art to not remain an afterthought with interior and commercial designs, we must incorporate art into the conversation early. As designers, we have a unique ability to propel up-and-coming artists forward while also inspiring more clients to bring incredible pieces of art into their spaces. But art isn’t just an important cornerstone to design, it also greatly impacts our nervous systems. For this in-depth roundtable conversation, I have Mandy Theis and Dr. Stacey Denise joining me! You’ll hear the artist’s perspective, the designer’s perspective, and a physician’s perspective. And stay til the end for the Coaching Corner!
