Trade Tales Series for Business of home

Do you ever collaborate with other designers on projects?

By Aidan Taylor

In this week’s installment of Trade Tales, we asked five designers—Theresa Butler, Hannah Goldberg, Shaolin Low, John Stivale and Laura Tribbett—whether they ever work with other designers on projects.

Work That Mojo

‍“As a full-service interior design firm, we don’t need to bring other designers into the mix. We have long-standing relationships with talented contractors, vendors and architects, and we pride ourselves on delivering an unrivaled design experience. Our secret sauce is our focus on MOJO—moments of joy for others. Removing stress from the design process and filtering the myriad of options down to a manageable amount for our clients is our love language. They tell us how excited they are to come to our presentations because we keep it fun and focused! Adding another designer into the mix would detract from this. However, I do find that my ‘designer and business owner cup’ gets full when I spend time with other designer friends socially. Having a community of talented peers to inspire and connect with is extremely important.” —Laura Tribbett, Outline Interiors, Chicago
