| Have your design work featured in Good Clean Design by Glen Boudreaux
|
|
I am an IDS Interior Designer in Dallas, Texas, and I would like to invite you to be a part of the new book I'm writing about, Good Clean Design. I'm asking designers that I believe would be a good fit to demonstrate good clean design to our clients and the general consumer. There is so much that is posted on social media, in print, and on design websites such as Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram that is not good design. This book will hopefully help our clients and the consumer better understand what good clean design really is from the perspective of a designer, using the spaces you have designed as prime examples.

I worked in product marketing for more than 20 years before deciding to make a career change. In my previous role, I led the product creation process for Nike apparel and footwear and enjoyed delving into consumer insight, product conceptualization, design and development before going to market. Through my job, I was also able to travel the world, which exposed me to so many different expressions of design not only in architecture and interiors, but lifestyle and culture as well.

The client wanted to convert a guest room into a nursery for the baby they planned to adopt. The couple wanted a baby, no matter the gender, so the designer made this space gender-neutral with a color palette of blues, gold and greens.

With the rise of furniture rental companies, this has become a reality for many savvy shoppers – or should we say – borrowers.
