June Member Spotlight: Lynn Feinstein
When did you realize that you wanted to become an interior designer?
I wanted to make a change from my career in apparel and footwear design. I was considering opening a retail shop to sell sustainably manufactured product, but I felt there was too much stuff out there already. I attended a Master Recycler certification through the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability in Portland, Oregon. The Bureau had a campaign called "Be Resourceful," and it sparked the idea for my business; I can offer a Resourceful Interior Decorating service, starting with the items people already own to create their dream space, and enhancing it with mindfully manufactured product where needed.

The interior design industry, existing as it does in somewhat rarefied air, is often sheltered from difficult conversations about racial injustice — but it shouldn't be.

It should have that cozy and relaxing vibe in it to give us a soothing feeling, and for that, an elegant wall painting can work great in the living room. However, just buying a beautiful painting and hanging it on the wall won't help you to enhance the home decor of your living room.
