Allison Paladino: Why the Bad Economy Has Been the Best Thing for My Business
3:30 - 5 PM
Award-winning designer Allison Paladino presents what’s important now, from the creative process to building a personal brand as a designer, and why the challenging economy may actually be the best thing that happened to her high-end interior design business. From landing her first job directly out of design school with Thomas Pheasant, to being named “One of America’s 25 Top Young Designers” by House Beautiful to launching her own design practice serving luxury consumers in the rarified world of Palm Beach, she’ll offer the inside story on the licensed collections she’s created for E.J. Victor, Trowbridge and Starck. This is a not-to-be missed presentation for any interior designer who has ever dreamed of making the leap to product design or building a major brand, featuring actual samples of the forms and methods Allison utilizes to make her business sing every day.
