interior designers

James Mauler was still early in his career when he decided to leave college and take a more hands-on approach with his education. Instead of completing a five-year degree in architecture, Jim realized that he could achieve his professional and financial goals by putting his drafting skills to work on the job. As an example, when computer-aided design (CAD) software was still in its infancy, he was the first person in his firm to volunteer to learn how to use it. This made him a go-to resource in the company, and it gave him the confidence he needed to know that he was on the right track.

In the early 1990s, Jim was terminated from the company that he was working for at the time. He describes this as a blessing in disguise because it gave him a compelling reason to start his own company the very next day. Jim has been at the helm of Cadnetics for nearly 30 years, and his business has undergone tremendous growth and transformation during that time. The firm, which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, also has a presence in four other major markets throughout the country. Jim is currently realizing his vision of expanding to 10 cities in 10 years, and you can tell from our conversation that he is having a lot of fun in the process.

If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below. The purpose of this podcast is to share ideas, inspire action, and build a stronger small business community here in Pittsburgh. So please say hello, tell me what you think, and let me know how I’m doing. It means a ton!

Adam Stover is a Senior Principal at Kansas City’s Populous and has led the design for some of the most significant sports stadium renovations and new builds of the last decade:

These include Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium, Gillette Stadium, and Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever….. which is exactly where we met Adam for this interview, smack dab on center court.— And as you might have expected, we brought the crew and filmed it –  you see the center court action for yourself here. 

Today, we’ll go deep on designing for the human experience and Adam shares his advice on how we as individuals and teams can grow in our pursuit of excellence.

Can you can really get away with a Christmas tree all year round and why is a horse's leg Stephen's nemesis as a designer? Stephen, Amy & SJ debate these important topics in our very first podcast.

This episode is a little bit of an Easter special so eggspect some bantering about bunnies, bonnets and oddly, what Joey from Friends has to do with model making.

There's also some serious discussion around the relevance and importance of physical modelling versus CAD, laser printing and VR when demonstrating concepts to clients.

Head over to the NDA blog to see exactly what a sock bunny gnome looks like and see our tutor's finished egg scenes. You can vote for your favourite over on Instagram.

Have you ever wondered why it costs so much to hire a publicist? In this episode, Designer Discussions co-host and PR expert Mirjam Lippuner shares why that is and what options you have.

• In interior design, “being published” is not optional, it’s required to be recognized.
• Not unlike interior design, PR is a service, so publicists get paid for their time.
• You pay for strategic expertise, industry experience, relationships
• Different providers: Large agencies, boutique agencies, solo consultants
• Different ways to charge: typically retainer - long-term because PR is long term, partnership - they are part of your team; Project; Hourly
• Average cost
  • Retainers $3-5K
  • Hourly rates $100-350
• PR is not cheap and it shouldn’t be!

DIY is an option! There are a lot great free resources, and Get Ink DIY offers a unique program that’s a hybrid of DIY and done-for-you.

Pricing is also about value. Learn about the link and how to use it in your best interest. In this episode, Maria Martin, co-host of this podcast, interior designer and Design Appy founder, is talking about how designers can approach pricing their services based on the value they provide, not the hours they spend.

• How to use comparison to help position you offer
• Most budgets are not arbitrary
• Change the framing, the value, the price

• Create a design menu, not just one proposal

We asked our previous guest, Kia Weatherspoon (episode 35 - May 3, 2021), for an intro to someone she’d want to hear from – The first name on her list: Jessica Caldwell.

Jessica Caldwell is the founder of Folke Creative in Brooklyn NY, a boutique branding and design studio inspired by the stories of people, places, and things. She also runs the design blog: Design is Lit.

Today, Jessica will let us in on her "messy" process of design and also provides some wise advice on how to conjure creativity.

She starts her interview reflecting on a moment that eventually leads to a simple and beautiful statement from her:  

“Life is filled with little luxuries, little glimmers of hope and love… if you’ll only just look for them."
