In the 3rd episode of the TNT podcast I had a roundtable discussion with Walter and Shane, two of the trades I work with. We talked about how we can improve the relationship between Interior Design Professionals and Trades.

This episode is a continuation from that conversation. Basically, we were having such a good time and exchanging great stories, we didn’t want it to end! Hence, another episode here with Walter and Shane.

Walter Claire Shane — From Left to Right: Walter Ferreria, Claire Jefford and Shane Ritcey

This time the guys share experiences they have had or continue to have working with designers. It’s fascinating stuff and hearing stories from the other side was incredibly eye opening for myself. I learned a lot. I believe more candid conversations like this can only help both of our industries.
