For its first Brooklyn cafe, Stumptown had its eye on an 1863 firehouse in Cobble Hill. But the lease wasn’t signed when the Portland-based coffee roaster began talking with local firm Jessica Helgerson Interior Design (JHID) about designing the Brooklyn outpost. “We were kind of working in a highly conceptual way,” recalls Mira Eng-Goetz, one of the lead designers on the project. “It could have been in any building, but we knew the approach needed to respect the existing architecture wherever they put the cafe and take cues from the neighborhood that the building was in.”

Fashion and interior design share many commonalities, but perhaps the most interesting is the fact that they both can be trendy, timeless, and cyclical. Some fashion trends pass quickly, but others—like a black cocktail dress or a well-tailored suit—never go out of style. Likewise, though the interiors world has seen its share of fads come and go, a well-designed space or product can stand the test of time. Perhaps no one is as familiar with the intersection of fashion and interiors as designer Jhane Barnes.

The reality, though, is that, like it or not, "old" is how others perceive you. For that reason, it is crucial that you not take your past success for granted. If you want to stay competitive or employable, you need to reinforce your value to your clients or your firm.
