Electrostatic discharge (ESD) within precision additive manufacturing by Design World

Welcome to Season 5 of Thrive in Design! As we celebrate this milestone, we delve into some of the hot topics covered in Season 4. AI and sustainability were our main focus in 2023 within the interior design sphere, and their significance will only grow in 2024. Interior designers often express concerns about AI replacing their creativity and altering various roles in the industry. However, from our previous conversations and this season's discussions, you'll come to realize that AI is not something to fear but rather something you can embrace, regardless of your role in the industry. In the realm of sustainability, we will explore how it integrates into your process of enhancing brand awareness and revenue for your interior product company.  Additionally, we'll discuss key considerations for 2024 and beyond. To add an engaging element, we'll incorporate storytelling into the mix, demonstrating its relevance to the success of your interior design business concerning both AI and sustainability.

I will be talking to a cross section of people that work in the Car Design Industry. These will include designers, digital and clay modellers, vis artists and colour & material designers. The focus of our conversations will be centered around personal processes and experiences within the business.

“I am an interior designer. I call the architect who calls the contractor. We all call landscaper because we're all obsessed with plants right now. But all day we're working in tandem in a circle. So I thought everyone needs to be involved here. What does it matter if I spend all my time trying to source responsibly and bill my clients may be a little extra for these efforts […] if the contractor just goes in and throws everything in the landfill anyway? So why did we do that? We need to close the gap like close the whole circle.” Katie Storey is an established interior designer based in San Francisco, who had an epiphany when she realized her work was big contributor to a massive waste problem generated in the world, particularly in the design and building industry, despite her own personal practice in conscious living. One of the resources that awoken and inspired Katie was Earth Overshoot Day, which marks the date when humanity has used all the biological resources that Earth regenerates during the entire year. She founded The Good Future Design Alliance, a community of design and building professionals committed to reduce waste to “forge a radical new path.” She shares how this fast-growing network of design leaders are shaking up the industry with access to cutting edge tools to help them meet their professional low-waste goals, and invites designers, architects, general contractors, landscapers as well as manufacturers to join the movement.

My guests today are the architects Ester Bruzkus and Peter Greenberg and you might wonder: what will we talk about in a podcast like this one, if not about psychoactive compounds and psychedelics? And where does architecture comes in?Founded in 2002 in Berlin, Ester Bruzkus Architekten is an internationally established architecture and interior design practice with global ties, but based in Berlin. They are well known for extensive experience with design at many scales: from the design of tables and furniture to exquisite residences and workspaces to international theatres, restaurants and hotels. Ester was named as one of Architectural Digest's “Top 200 Influencers in the Design World,” Growing up in Berlin, she studied architecture at Berlin's Technical University and later at the School of Architecture in Belleville, Paris. Before founding her own Berlin office in 2002. Peter received his Master of Architecture from Harvard's Graduate School of Design and graduated cum laude with Distinction in Architecture from Yale University where he also studied philosophy and the history of art. He is a licensed architect in the United States in Massachusetts and New York and is a certified Interior Designer. Since Peter has become Partner, the firm has won several international design competitions, has won many design awards, and has completed several significant projects, including the restaurants Remi and Villa Kellermann Tim Raue, and projects for Relaxound, Volkswagen's Autostadt, and the PSD Bank. As you can see, here are two pros to talk about trauma, but this time not in brains, but in buildings and houses. The question is though, can buildings be as traumatized from severe historic incidents, as much as brains? And could this have an effect on people living in these buildings? Of course, the follow up question I am asking myself would be: could the trauma and the aura of a building be transformed, if these buildings might host psychedelic treatments and can we help buildings to heal? And redefine them? ? But let's ask Ester and Peter, the experts on room karma and real building therapists. (https://esterbruzkus.com/)

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been a guest on the podcast and to everyone who listens or reads the show notes. I am shocked that we have 150 episodes. I started this podcast because I felt like I didn't have a voice as a designer and wanted to share other's stories and experiences, no matter their expertise. And we do just that! But I wouldn't be here without you, so thank you.    For this episode I decided to bring in my close friend, Jordan Gill to chat with me about 5 things I've learned in the design world since starting my podcast.  Here's what we covered on the episode: 1. You Bring Something to the Table That No One Else Does  How Jordan and I met through working on a launch for an affiliate program together, ran in the same online space and ended up bonding over a not so good client experience  Jordan's take on me as a designer and what I bring to the table that is different from other designers  Lesson number 1 that I've learned and want to share about the design world is that you are different and bring something to the table that someone else doesn't bring The key to your identity is understanding who you are, what you want out of a job or business and understanding that you are different  How I've never thought of myself as good when it comes to branding but that's not true, and how I am good when it comes to branding digital offers — you might have a skill that you don't consider your best, but that doesn't mean you're bad at it  I touch on the branding work I'm doing for the podcast and how I think it's important to try different things before solidifying your brand  The story of my client, Edie, who came to me wanting to do VIP Days and how I told her to go test it out first instead of building a whole brand around it because she might decide she didn't like it or it didn't work for her  2. Connecting with others in Your Industry Will Help You Go Far Thing number 2 I've learned about the design world is to always be connecting with others because you don't know where a connection could  At the beginning of each episode, I share how I connected with each of my guests to reiterate how important building relationships are in your industry, especially with people who have complimentary skills to your own   My favorite story to tell is how I got my first sales page project by investing in online courses and connecting on Facebook with someone I didn't even know who posted about needing a graphic designer  How reaching out and raising my hand helped me get my first sales page project, and led me to getting referrals to all the all-stars in the online space back in 2013/2014  We discuss how people underutilize the relationships they have because they don't want to bother people or seem like they're needing too much, when in reality you should utilize the relationships you've built When you start connecting with people, you have to go in knowing that it could lead to a great relationship, or it could lead to sales —  don't go into it with expectations of it going a certain way, because it might not 3. You ARE Good Enough The third thing I've learned in the design world is that most of us, especially in the beginning or when we're going through a transition, think that we're not good enough which is not true at all  We think we aren't good enough because somewhere along the way we were told to look at everyone from the competition and there wasn't/isn't enough Design Industry 101 training that teaches you about the different rules, the different projects, how marketing goes with design, etc.  I share that I recorded my first episode for the podcast in April 2019 but didn't post it until October 2019 because I was scared and didn't think I was good enough  If you don't think you're good enough, go out and get projects  4. Your Work Creates a Bigger Impact Than You Think it Does   The fourth thing I've learned in the design world is that you don't realize how big of an impact your work actually has when your head is down and you're doing the work I share one example of how I got to see the impact of my work after creating a sales page for Kimra Luna which helped increased her sales, connected me with another client and how I heard from multiple people at events that they bought Kimra's program because of my sales page design  How you should update your portfolio with 3 or 4 projects you can tell stories about and include projects that feature the kind of work you want to get  I want to take my conversion design skills to the beauty and skin care industry, so if you live it that world, send me a DM   It's Okay to Love What You Do and Get Super Rich Doing It (And Don't Give Up!) The fifth thing I've learned and want you all to know is that it's okay to love what you do, and get super rich doing it and that you should never give up   You are talented and the talent you have in the world matters, no matter what your experience is and if you don't have the experience you want, go get it We recap my 5 main points during this episode which were to truly understand yourself and not be afraid to test things, always be connecting with those in your life and industry, know that you are good enough, realize that the work you do has an impact and know that it's okay to love what you do and get rich doing it   Even if you are in a season of life that is difficult or changing, just keep going —  working a little bit each day is better than giving up on the impact that you could be giving people  It's important to acknowledge that I haven't been feeling like myself for a while so I can remember to be patient with myself instead of feeling sorry for myself — it's okay not to feel okay sometimes  I talk about how I've kept the podcast going this long and through my recent life events because I want to practice what I preach and I understand that sharing the message and stories of other creators is important and has a bigger impact  If you have any questions, comments or feedback, I love DMs on Instagram so send me a message — share this episode on your story and tag me or Jordan's Instagram so we know you listened to this episode or read the show notes   Links mentioned: The Design Business Show - Episode 61    The Design Business Show - Episode 131   Connect with me on Instagram    Connect with Jordan on Instagram  Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

Recently we have had some people asking about the definitions of certains words or how things generally work, so today we wanted to break down the design world a little bit so you can better understand what we’re talking about. I go over the definition of market, which is a show you can go to to see essentially any product that you could need in the home. Show houses are used for showing off home designs and some times, especially in Utah, there will be big shows called the Parade of Homes where you will see a series of homes that have been put up for show. We talk about different books and what you should look for to showcase in your home.What is Market? 1:06What are show houses? 8:52Must read/must have books 17:06Must have tools 26:02“All of the different ways of displaying art. There’s several different types of easels. We’ve got lucite, we’ve got painted, kind of white plastery color, we’ve got walnut, we’ve got a walnut book cradle, a lucite book cradle, and we’ve also got some really beautiful plastery white pedestals to display sculpture and it looks so smart and so gallery.” 27:55https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter:https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

EPISODE TWO! THE DGDC PRESENTS THE TEST PILOTS SELF BETTERMENT "We are the Test Pilots, 4 young designers exploring advice that “Senior Designers” are always giving. In the Design World, folks who have already been there, done that, are spouting soundbite suggestions that sometimes are unproven, and we are going to put them to the test! We might succeed or we might fail, no harm no foul, it's all a test! " Comprised of Rubaie Jaffer, Mike Burpoe, Steven Overtrurf, and Narek Mughnetsyan, the Test Pilots were brought together by the DGDC, in hopes of expanding the diversity, opinions, and experience levels of the podcast. We gave them the mission to come up with a show concept they can really get immersed in, hoping to help younger creatives navigate through their design career paths. This idea of “testing” the advice from more senior designers really struck a chord with us. For the first episode, they challenged themselves to double their rates. Each designer explains their story, with updates and reactions. It's super unique and unlike anything you've heard on a podcast before. Join the conversation and follow our new co-hosts!

Less than a year into his role as CEO, Geoff Martha and the Medtronic leadership has overseen a significant overhaul of medtech’s largest player. In our closing keynote conversation, Martha says the company is clearing minor COVID-19 bump and sees open road for the company to continue to grab share from competitors. Martha details what products are gaining the most traction while also identifying those that still have some ground to gain. We also discuss: - When it may bring its renal denervation project to the FDA - Why the surgical robotic Hugo system will be worth the wait (and why development has taken more than a decade) - Whether or not Medtronic will collaborate more with private equity firms, early-stage incubators and maybe even SPACs? - What will the company’s acquisition strategy look like in 2021. And why. - Why the price-cutting for drug-eluting stents may represent an opportunity for Medtronic’s more innovative products. Opening our episode is an important interview with Duke Rohlen, CEO of Ajax Health. Rohlen, a company builder who has generated more than a $1 billion in selling his companies to larger strategics, explains how his work with KKR creates more fertile opportunity for innovative medtech start-ups. Rohlen introduces us to Zeus Health, a new KKR-partnership that will be used to give medtech start-up CEOs the capital – and options – they need to build the next generation of innovative medtech products. Rohlen also breaks down the three critical stages of start-up development. Chris Newmarker, executive editor of Life Sciences, delivers his #NewmarkersNewsmakers. Topping the list is Asensus, the recently renamed Transenterix followed by Becton Dickinson announcing a new deal with Scanwell, former Verb CEO Scott Huennekens leading a new SPAC, Abiomed CEO Michael Minogue leading AdvaMed and PavidMed spinning of a subsidiary, Lucid Medical. Paul Heney of Design World, a sister publication to MassDevice, also invites medtech engineers to submit their best work to the R&D 100 contest for most innovative creations.

Do you charge for a design consultation? Or do you offer it free-of-cost? Does a free consultation go against everything you believe in? This widely-debated highly-controversial topic is THE topic of conversation of late, which is why Darla chose to replay this amazing episode with Sandra Funk.  Sandra has been in business for 20+ years. In those 20 years, Sandra has NEVER charged for design consultations. Darla and Natalie stopped charging for consultations as a beta-test—and decided to stick with it. Listen to this episode of Wingnut Social to find out why! What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [1:41] Sandra’s FREE design consultations [7:00] The consultation is for vetting clients [9:45] The wise way to choose a project [11:42] Why Sandra offers online design [13:16] Tips for designers who are just starting out [17:27] What Sandra’s design consultation looks like [20:30] How does Sandra account for loss of consultation income? [23:00] The Interior Design Standard program [26:08] How easy is the program for a new design student? [29:59] What up Wingnut! round [31:23] How to connect with Sandra Funk Connect with Sandra Funk House of Funk Sandra on Instagram The Interior Design Standard Resources & People Mentioned Make Every Man Want You by Marie Forleo Sandra Funk’s Trade Resources Tips for designers who are just starting out Sandra’s typical project takes between 8–18 months to complete. She includes full drawings and a timeline of the scope and scale of the job in the consultation. But if she is already giving design suggestions at that first meeting, it’s telling the client she already has the whole design in her head. Offering ideas in 90-minutes diminishes the entire project. Sandra prefers to carefully craft a design that will unfold over the course of the project. She will come up with something incredible for them—and it won’t be designed in just one hour in their home.  But how do you decide what to charge if you’re just starting out? In her Interior Design Standard program, Sandra offers a wealth manifestation spreadsheet (AKA a budget). It starts by helping you identify your overhead like rent, staff, and utilities. Then you offset it with what you want to make for the year. It allows you to see where your sales need to be to make your business succeed. You can play around with your margins, but this is a great starting point. Sandra’s overhead dictates that she has to take on projects in homes over $1 million with projects at least $100,000 in scope. She emphasizes that everyone else will be different depending on your region, price point, overhead, etc. It is important to only say yes to the clients that fit your ideal client avatar. They need to be a fit for you. Sandra notes that “It’s not about ‘Can they afford it’, it’s about what makes sense.” How does Sandra account for loss of consultation income? Listen to hear her solution!  The Interior Design Standard program Sandra brought her finance degree and 20 years of experience to the table when she created this program. She sought to set the standard for the interior design industry. It lays out a great business model to be profitable and efficient. It also includes systems, scripts, and everything she uses to run her business. It’s one of the most comprehensive programs Darla has ever seen. It’s perfect for baby designers as well as seasoned experts.  The program is intended to be the backbone of your business. It can be everything you need to run an interior design business but it is scaled to you. There’s not a single thing you need to do in the process that doesn’t have a task assigned to it.

Miami is a different beast and free consultations led to more bookings. The bottom line? Do what works for you and your business!

Kaar recently created a replica of Robert’s moss box to honor his work. This was a little box that Robert used to carry moss back to his bakery. Now Joanne's moss box features fold-down flaps with delightful discoveries that call to mind the spirit of Robert Dick. And I share a video of Joanne's marvelous creation in the Facebook Group for the show. So if you want to check it out, it's a masterpiece, and it's a thrill to see that video. I followed up with Joanne, and when I emailed her, I asked for her insights on Robert. And Joanne replied with a lovely interview she did back in 2017. Here’s an excerpt: “Wearing a swallowtail coat, jeans, and a chimney-pot hat, Robert Dick often had children following him from his bakery in Thurso, as they were curious to know what he was doing on his walks. He was not only a baker but also a renowned self-taught botanist, a geologist, and a naturalist. Interested in entomology, he collected moths, beetles, butterflies, and bees. To bring the samples home he pinned them to the inside of his hat.”  She continues, “Dunnet Head was one of his favorite places to walk, describing it as having a forest of ferns. Dunnet Head Lighthouse was built in 1831, an event Robert Dick must have witnessed. Robert Dick saved old letters, envelopes, newspapers, and documents to keep his collection of small plants and mosses in.  His herbarium collection is now in Caithness Horizons Museum, Thurso, and contains around 3,000  specimens.” Now when I was researching Rober,t I stumbled on an old document by Sir Roderick Murchison, the Director-General of the Geographical Society. Roderick delivered a wonderful speech at Leeds in September 1858, where he mentioned meeting the multi-talented baker Robert Dick. “In pursuing my research in the Highlands… it was my gratification.. to meet with a remarkable man in the town of Thurso, named Robert Dick, a baker by trade. I am proud to call him my distinguished friend. When I went to see him, he spread out before me a map of Caithness and pointed out its imperfections. Mr. Dick had traveled over the whole county in his leisure hours and was thoroughly acquainted with its features. He delineated to me, by means of some flour which he spread out on his baking board... its geographical features. (How clever of Robert to use flour to show the topography of the county!) Here is a man who is earning his daily bread by his hard work; who is obliged to read and study by night; and yet who can instruct the Director-General of the Geographical Society. But this is not half of what I have to tell you of Robert Dick. When I became better acquainted with this distinguished man and was admitted into his sanctum—which few were permitted to enter—I found there busts of Byron, of Sir Walter Scott, and other great poets. I also found books, carefully and beautifully bound, which this man had been able to purchase out of the savings of his single bakery. I also found that Robert Dick was a profound botanist. I found, to my humiliation, that this baker knew infinitely more of botanical science—ay, ten times more—than I did; and that there were only some twenty or thirty British plants that he had not collected… These specimens were all arranged in most beautiful order, with their respective names and habitats.” After Robert’s death on this day in 1866, a memorial obelisk was installed to honor him in the Thurso Cemetery. Today, the curator at Caithness Horizons Museum, Joanne Howdle, has digitalized the precious Robert Dick Herbarium.   December 24, 1889 On this day, the White House's first Christmas tree was set in place to delight "Baby McKee," the favorite grandson and namesake of President Benjamin Harrison. A 1967 article from the Indianapolis Star said, “There had never been a Christmas tree in the White House before. Some people thought the whole thing pretty frivolous but President Harrison was adamant and set the gardeners to finding the just-right tree. It was to be tall and full and round like the trees he had had when he was a boy and found oranges and nuts in the toes of his stockings.” All through Christmas Eve afternoon, the White House gardeners worked to set the tree in place in the library over the Blue Room. No one was permitted to decorate the tree; that honor was reserved for the president and his wife. However, history tells us that the gardeners all stayed to watch. After dinner, President Harrison and first lady Caroline Scott Harrison decorated the tree with fat ropes of tinsel and old-fashioned candles. The President crowned the tree with a large star, and the first lady "stretched and stooped to fill the branches with presents." The Harrison White House at Christmas was the picture of a classic Victorian holiday scene. One can almost imagine the scene that day - with Baby McKee or little Benjamin - his wispy blond hair, sailor hat, and long white hand-tucked dress imitating the President as he walked the library with his lamb on wheels behind him. Benjamin was also quite taken with his jack-in-the-box.   December 24, 1936  Today is the anniversary of the death of the influential English gardening author and instructor, Frances Garnet Wolseley. A lifelong single lady, Frances devoted herself to gardening and gardening education. In 1902, on her thirtieth birthday, Frances created the Glynde College for Lady Gardeners on her father’s garden in East Sussex. Although her classes had only around a dozen students, Frances managed to attract some famous students included Gertrude Jekyll, Ellen Willmott, and William Robinson. And online, there’s a fantastic picture of Frances that shows her mowing a lawn with a push and pull mower with the help of one of her students - they're both standing on either side of this thing -  it took two people to run it. It’s hard to believe, but in the early 1900s, pictures of women mowing were being shown in advertisements for lawnmowers - they were trying to appeal to women to mow the lawn. In her 1908 book, Gardening for Women, Frances wrote, “It must be borne in mind that horticulture is still a comparatively new profession for women and that unless those who enter it strive to give full time and application to learning its details they cannot hope to be successful ...they should spare no pains to gain a complete education, for only then … can they expect remuneration.”   Unearthed Words Someone painted pictures on my Windowpane last night — Willow trees with trailing boughs And flowers, frosty white, And lovely crystal butterflies; But when the morning sun Touched them with its golden beams, They vanished one by one. — Helen Bayley Davis, American poet and writer, Jack Frost   Grow That Garden Library Gardens of Style by Janelle McCulloch This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Private Hideaways of the Design World. In this book, Janelle takes us to visit the inspiring private gardens of celebrated fashion and design tastemakers. Thanks to Janelle's work, we can understand how these beautiful sanctuaries - these gardens - have influenced creative work and life. Throughout history, Mother Nature has been a frequent source of inspiration in fashion and design. Fashion designers like Christian Dior to have used gardens and botanicals in their collections. Like us, these designers and their interior design counterparts find that gardens restore their creativity and revitalize their energy. Janelle's book takes us, "from the lush foliage of the Dominican Republic to the graceful flowerbeds of America’s East Coast, the charming roses and clipped boxwood of England’s country manors, and the patterned parterres of France’s enchanting Provence region—Gardens of Style illustrates the symbiotic relationship between horticulture and haute couture and between nature’s beautiful forms and those found in interior design. For instance, the garden of former Hermès designer Nicole de Vésian (duh-VAY-zee-an) is a sublime weave of patterns and textures, while the garden of Christian Dior features many of the roses that inspired his glamorous gowns." This book is 240 pages of beautifully photographed gardens to delight and inspire, along with stories that show the connection between trendsetters and their horticultural havens - it's a beautiful coffee table book.

The original version first appeared in the New York Times, and as I share it with you, you'll realize how far we've come since the 1960s in terms of our daily gardening practice.  I'll share this version first, and then I have another version written in the 1980s - twenty years later. The Jensen version goes like this: Twas the night before Christmas and all through the yard The branches were bare and the ground frozen hard. The roses were dormant and mulched all around To protect them from damage if frost heaves the ground. The perennials were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of 5-10-10 danced in their heads. The new planted shrubs had been soaked by the hose To settle their roots for the long winters doze. And out on the lawn, the new-fallen snow Protected the roots of the grasses below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a truck full of gifts of gardening gear. Saint Nick was the driver, the jolly old elf And he winked as he said, I’m a gardener myself. I've brought wilt-proof, rootone, and B-nine, too. Father can try them and see what they do. To eliminate weeding, I’ve brought 2-4-D, And to battle the bugs, 5 percent DDT. To seed your new lawn, I’ve a patented sower; And since it will grow, here’s a new power mower. For seed planting days, I’ve a trowel and a dibble. And a roll of wire mesh if the rabbits should nibble. For the feminine gardener, some gadgets she loves, Plant stakes, a sprinkler, and waterproof gloves; A chemical agent for her compost pit, And for enjoying the flowers, a flower arranging kit. With these colorful flagstones, lay a new garden path. For the kids to enjoy, a new bird feeder and bath. And last, but not least, some well-rotted manure. A green Christmas year-round, these gifts will ensure. Then jolly St. Nick, having emptied his load, Started his truck and took to the road. And I heard him exclaim through the engines loud hum: Merry Christmas to all and to all a green thumb!   Well, things have changed a lot since the 1960s. So if you were a little shocked by what you heard in that version, that was standard gardening protocol for that decade. By 1987, Carolyn Roof in Paducah, Kentucky, had written her own version for gardeners in her garden column. Here’s an excerpt from hers: Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the garden not a creature was stirring, not even a wren. The work tools were hung in the tool shed with care, in hope that springtime soon would be there. The flowers were mulched all snug in their bed, while visions of show winners danced in my head. And Richard in his blanket and I with the cat had settled down for a long winter's chat. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the chair to see what was the matter. Away to the window, I flew like a flash, tore open the drapes and threw up the sash. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature UPS truck and eight tiny gardeners, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his workers they came, and he whistled and called them by name. Now Shepard, Now Appleseed, Now Thompson and Morgan, On Wayside, On Burpee, On Parks and Starks. As the dry leaves that before the wild tornado fly when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So on to the patio, the gardeners flew with a truck full of tools, plants, and flowers, too. And then in a twinkling, I heard by the glade, the digging and planting of each little blade. As I drew in my head and was turning around, past the sliding glass door, he came with a bound. He was dressed all in grubbies, mud boots on his feet, and his clothes were all soiled with mulches and peat. A bundle of tools, plants, and bulbs were on his back, and he looked like a nurseryman opening his pack. He spoke not a word but went on with his work, and landscaped the yard, then turned with a jerk. He sprang to his truck, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all drove like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night."   However, my favorite ending is from the first poem. Here's how the Jensens ended their poem: And I heard him exclaim through the engines loud hum: Merry Christmas to all and to all a green thumb!   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener this year. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

OUT FOR 2021 Shiplap is one of the fastest fading trends Once used to waterproof boats, shiplap siding became a trendy way to decorate interior walls in the 2010s. "Shiplap appears in nearly every TV home-makeover show texture walls with tile, plaster, rattan or wood Gray kitchen interiors may become less popular The all-gray look is going out of style. Gray kitchen interiors can look cold and lack distinction Bolder colors gaining popularity. Indigo blue & green may be a particularly trendy kitchen color in 2021. The Mid-century modern furniture trend may finally be over Mid-century modern designs were popular in the 1950s and 1960s, May finally be fading away. We're shifting away from the 'Mad Men' look Matching furniture sets may start to look dated Identical furniture and matching sets don't showcase personal style. Select nonmatching pieces with complementary colors or designs. Having everything match doesn't allow people to let their personal style shine through. What’s in for 2021 Granny Chic becoming more popular Floral wallpapers are considered granny chic. The "grandmillennial" trend is a modern revival of homey design elements that you might find in your grandparents' home. The style is meant to evoke comfort, nostalgia, and tradition. Think floral wallpaper, antique paintings, delicate china, crocheted throws, and vintage touches with whimsical flair. Peel-and-stick wallpaper will be trendy in 2021 Wallpaper is having a bit of a resurgence right now. Self-adhesive, removable wallpaper is gaining popularity with people who rent or are looking for a low-commitment way to upgrade their living space. Wicker and rattan furniture will likely be trending Natural-looking furniture is coming back in style. woven furniture styles will be popular. Rattan and wicker details. BOTTOM LINE the most important trend of 2021 in design calls for just to ignore these very trends, to personalize the space and adjust the interior primarily for yourself. We’ve said this before – it’s your home, your space, your lifestyle and your budget. Chose wisely! This podcast sponsored by Premier Lighting email questions to Nancy@NancyHugo.com

That problem is known as the protein folding problem. Proteins are the building blocks and operate all our functional biology systems. They are large complex molecules made up of chemical chains and amino acids. This is important because, right now, in order to figure out how a specific protein looks like and how it physically conforms in 3D space, scientists typically use X-Ray crystallography techniques which costs over $100k and takes up to a year to complete. There are currently over 200 million proteins in the main database and only about 170,000 have their 3D structures mapped out, a fraction of the 200M. This research is currently being peer-reviewed for final publication and scientists are absolutely excited about exploring this amazing technology for the advancement of scientific knowledge.

PREMIERE EPISODE! THE DGDC PRESENTS THE TEST PILOTS "We are the Test Pilots, 4 young designers exploring advice that “Senior Designers” are always giving. In the Design World, folks who have already been there, done that, are spouting soundbite suggestions that sometimes are unproven, and we are going to put them to the test! We might succeed or we might fail, no harm no foul, it's all a test! " Comprised of Rubaie Jaffer, Mike Burpoe, Steven Overtrurf, and Narek Mughnetsyan, the Test Pilots were brought together by the DGDC, in hopes of expanding the diversity, opinions, and experience levels of the podcast. We gave them the mission to come up with a show concept they can really get immersed in, hoping to help younger creatives navigate through their design career paths. This idea of “testing” the advice from more senior designers really struck a chord with us. For the first episode, they challenged themselves to double their rates. Each designer explains their story, with updates and reactions. It's super unique and unlike anything you've heard on a podcast before. Join the conversation and follow our new co-hosts! Let them know what you thought of the episode and feel free to suggest other “design myths” they can put to the test!
