Podcasts about modenus

Today is Part II of a super interesting conversation we started on Episode 80 with our friend and design industry guru Veronika Miller-Eagleson.  To bring you up to speed on Veronika,  she is the CEO of Modenus Media, a comprehensive online resource for design professionals and design enthusiasts, whether its client to designer, manufacturer to consumer, or blogger to fellow blogger, Modenus works daily to grow and enrich our design community.  She is also Founder of Designhounds, a network of over 500 design influencers.  Veronika is a great friend and highly respected in our industry.  In other words, we trust her opinion.

Elle H-Millard is corporate learning manager at Delta Faucet where she works to bridge the gap between manufacturer and designer with a focus on the Brizo brand. Prior to that, she was the face of the National Kitchen & Bath Assn., fully immersed in relationship building and knowledge sharing as she developed training modules, social media strategies and influencer programs. H-Millard thrives at the crossroads of art and design, education, and influence. Her journey has included fine arts education, restaurant design and a season of HGTV’s “Design Star.” Recorded in early May, H-Millard, a mother of four, is working from her home in Indiana and engaged in making masks. Veronika Miller-Eagleson, of Modenus and DesignHounds fame, graciously assists with the introduction.

We have some interesting topics to dive into today and invited Veronika Miller-Eagleson as a person “in the know”. She is the CEO of Modenus Media, a comprehensive online resource for design professionals and design enthusiasts, whether its client to designer, manufacturer to consumer, or blogger to fellow blogger, Modenus works daily to grow and enrich our design community. She is also Founder of Designhounds, a network of over 500 design influencers. Veronika is a great friend and highly respected in our industry. Before we get started we wanted to let you know that this episode of Inside Design with Kandrac & Kole is sponsored by Helser Brothers Hardware. Several key roles play a factor in the continued success of Helser Brothers. They offer competitive and simple pricing, free shipping on orders over $100, original custom designs and a six point check and balance system to ensure clients get what they order each and every time. I love that they are trained to patiently help designers work out solutions for difficult window configurations. Helser Brothers makes drapery hardware for designers all over the country. A review from a designer in Denver says “For over 18 years, I have worked with Helser and I am thankful to have such a great company to work! They have evolved over the years and continue to add new styles, colors, and designs to keep up with the current trends. They offer a beautiful product and have the ability to design whatever you can create. They are my go to for providing "support" for all my creative creations! They are the best”.

Ever see pictures of an incredible event with, say, brands, designers, and a cupcake buffet? That was probably hosted by today’s guest, Veronika Miller, and you probably want to be a part of it. Veronika Miller is a kitchen and bath designer, and marketing specialist, who combined those two superpowers when she founded Modenus Media in 2010. Modenus is a marketing platform that seeks to pair designers and bloggers with forward-thinking brands. After years of hosting wildly successful blog tours, Veronika founded DesignHounds, an events and touring company that connects bloggers, designers and brands at amazing events.

Connect with Veronika Miller Modenus DesignHounds on Instagram Veronika Miller on Instagram Resources & People Mentioned DesignHounds The Goldfinch Wingnut Social Media Lab Making Social Media Social Veronika was a pioneer when it came to proving the value of social media to brands. She took to Twitter when many still weren’t sure what to make of it, and was able to forge relationships there that turned into real-life friendships. Those friendships then formed the basis of what she does today: Bringing people together in real life, and connecting them at amazing events. One of the things Veronika became best-known for were her blog tours, that would allow designers and bloggers to connect with brands in meaningful ways. As blogging has risen and fallen over the years, she’s faded out the blog tours and moved on to creating DesignHounds, a platform that connects brands, design pros and bloggers on trips around the world.

1.  INTRO We are just back from Napa Valley, CA where we were invited as special guests of Design Hounds and Signature Kitchen Suite to be a part of a three-day brand immersion trip to learn all about the new SKS showroom and their luxury lien of appliances. A.    Background – Part 1 – Design Hounds i. We have been very fortunate to be a part of Modenus Blogtour and Design Hounds trips around the country and in Europe. Design Hounds and Modenus are run by a woman by the name of Veronika Eagleson. She has done an incredible job of curating a large network of design professionals who share best practices, design finds and product knowledge via social media and their own design businesses. These designers are also known as micro-influencers who align brands like Signature Kitchen Suite with truly relevant audiences. And you thought we just made homes look pretty! B.    Background – Part 2 – SKS  i. Signature Kitchen Suite is the new luxury brand from LG Electronics. The Napa showroom that we visited was a 2 ½ year dream in the making. It was one of the most impressive showrooms we have ever been in complete with an appliance playground, a massive kitchen for inhouse cooking shows and training, conference rooms, dining rooms, an killer bar etc. The SKS team wine and dined us and told us their story… 2.  TRUE TO FOOD A.     Storytelling - Before SKS sells you an appliance, they tell you a story. They are all about being what they have coined “TRUE TO FOOD”. If you go to their website, (signaturekitchensuite.com), watch the film series all about their deep respect for food and where it is sourced. You will see stories about cheesemakers, breadmakers, fishermen, vineyard owners and more. It is so cool. So if you have a deep respect for food, where it comes from and who grows or produces it, then it makes senses that you would continue that respect for how you cook the food. This is what SKS does. B.     “Technicurean” – SKS believes that being on top of technology is a luxury experience. They also believe that people are willing to pay more for performance and technology. So they coined another word – one for those people that are passionate about food and technology - Technicureans. 3.  HOW TO BE TRUE TO FOOD A.     Cook “Sous Vide” pronounced (sue-veed), which is French for “under-vacuum”. This is a cooking technique where food is vacuum sealed and then submerged in water and slow-cooked at a constant, precise temperature until it’s perfectly cooked. So for example, you won’t see that gray to pink radiant in your meat because it’s cooked evenly edge to edge. You can cook chicken, fish, eggs, and vegetables all sous vide. SKS is the only brand to incorporate a sous vide built in to the cook top range. B.     There are several ways to cook on the SKS ranges – sous vide, induction, gas, griddle, true convention and steam. The ranges come in 36” and 48” with different combinations of components. C.     Don’t forget about refrigeration - With SKS you choose your columns and put them together – so you can choose a freezer column that is 18”, 24” or 30”. You can choose a refrigerator column that is 24” or 30” or a 36” French Door frig. SKS also just debuted their 18” (holds 71 bottles) and 24” wine refrigerators (holds 113 bottles) with “wine cave” technology that mimics the wine preservation of historic, old-world caves. 4.  OH WOW LEARNING MOMENTS A.     SKS sells 120 LG products that are wifi compatible or wifi connected. So if you want every one of your appliances to be connected to your home system, your phone or your ipad – go for it! This also means that you have on-going monitoring of your appliances because of the on line connectivity. B.     SKS has a 5 day repair or replace guarantee on their products – no questions asked. C.     When you buy an SKS appliance, you have a single point of contact for your product needs once you register. No suffering thru the automated cycle of button pushing! D.     All SKS appliances have a 2 year warranty with an additional 1 year added as soon as you register your appliances. E.     Their average repair time is 3 days and they have 24/7 service. F.     The 48” range has an articulating handle that helps you to open and close the oven door. G.     The new column refrigeration is built so that you can refit any built in refrigerator without tearing down cabinets. H.    The refrigerator has a convertible drawer so you can make it what you want – a freezer (-6 to 0 degrees) or a beverage drawer at 33 degrees or a meat drawer at 29 degrees etc. I.      The drawers in the refrig move easily and the LED lights move with it. The bins pop out super easily to clean. J.       When you buy a wine column, you have the “True Sommelier App” – this app is SO COOL – it will catalog your wines, recognize your labels, assign different “cellars” within your wine column, learn your preferences and those of your friends and frequent guests. If you go to a certain restaurant, it can tell you what to order based on the brands you prefer. 5.  CONCLUSION A.     So as you can see, we became big fans in a big way on LG and the SKS luxury arm of appliances. We cannot wait to introduce our clients to the Signature Kitchen Suite of options the next time we work on a kitchen renovation or new build. We LOVED the Napa region and had a total blast with our fellow design buddies. 6.  NOTE SKS nor Design hounds is sponsoring this podcast but our trip was sponsored.

The 2nd episode of our podcast last year was on the 2018 Kitchen and Bath Trends from KBIS (The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show) that we attended last year in Orlando, Florida and coincidentally was the 2nd highest downloaded episode since we started this podcast! Unfortunately we weren’t able to attend KBIS this year (it was in Las Vegas where it snowed for more than 7 hours resulting in delays and flight cancellations). We enjoy this show so much and were so disappointed that we couldn’t go because it is pure eye candy and we learn so much. So in order to share the latest and greatest with you, we reached out to our designer friends and had them be our eyes for us. We are so lucky that we can count on them. Crazy story, I also got information from a builder who shared his thoughts. First up - Rose Dostal – RMD Designs, LLC – Kitchen, Bathroom and Interior Remodeling Architectural Design in Hudson, Ohio.

Kajsa Krause and Tracey Sawyer: International Hospitality Design Today in The Lounge, Nick chats Veronika Miller, the founder and CEO of Modenus and Official Media Partner with KBIS. Veronika will discuss her collaboration with KBIS and the line-up of events at KBIS 2018. Then stayed tuned for Nick's conversation with Kajsa Krause and Tracey Sawyer of Krause Sawyer at the Porcelanosa showroom in NYC. The duo will discuss their partnership, their love of travel, and how they created their niche in the hospitality sector. About Modenus Veronika Miller is the founder and editor inchief of  Modenus, a comprehensive digital resource for design professionals and design enthusiasts. Modenus began in 2009 and added a social media component known as the Blog Tour in 2011. The goal of the Blog Tour is to bring both people and brands together. The following year KBIS approached Modenus to help them connect with the design community, to build a bond and to reach design professionals who were not necessarily engaged in the kitchen and bath industry. After this initial contact Modenus became an official media partner with KBIS. This January will mark their 6th Blog Tour together. The Blog Tour has been hugely successful for Modenus. They have a community of about 250 bloggers who they reach out to for recommendations on what/who is new and interesting. These nominees are then narrowed down and the final blog tour participants are selected. In addition to the Blog Tour, each year Modernus compiles a Top 100 Influencers list, which again, is entirely community driven. Reaching out to the design community provides an endless resource for continued networking and education.                       KBIS and Modenus KBIS 2018 will kick off with a networking event entitled Champagne and Cupcakes on Tuesday, January 9th from 9:30-10:30 am. Hosted by Modenus, this invitation-only event will feature media influencers, designers, and media to celebrate the beginning of KBIS. Healthy cupcakes and a little bit of bubbly will be on the menu to honor their sponsor, Signature Kitchen, a new luxury division of LG, whose mission is focused on living well and living in a healthy way. There will also be giveaways, speakers and an introduction by Brian Pagel, VP of Kitchen and Bath division at Emerald Expositions. There will be many design events, speakers, and educational opportunities at KBIS. Jaime Derringer from Design Milk will be teaming up with Modenus at the lounge cafe, Design milk x Modenus Talk lounge. Mirroring the format at Wanted Design in NY, the lounge cafe will provide a relaxed atmosphere with refreshments, phone charging stations and an opportunity for everyone in the room to talk and share their thoughts. The event will also be streamed on Facebook live. Claire Jefford will also be hosting an event with several design influences that will cover the topics of Technology and How It Relates To Design and Social Media Do's and Don'ts. This Old House will cover topics on skilled labor global design and working remotely and The Good Home Redux will cover the impact of design on wellness and sustainability. Navigating KBIS For those new to KBIS, the large scale of the show can be overwhelming. Bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk. The dress code is business casual, most attendees wear jeans and polo shirts, with a few designers choosing to dress up. It is about one mile between halls. Veronika recommends starting at West Hall, which is the main area that houses the bigger brands and follows a more traditional format. Plan on spending an entire day there. On a separate day, focus on the North and South Halls, where the stage, discovery district, which houses the smaller up and coming brands, the Modenus lounge and an outdoor area with catering can be found. Plan about 15-20min to get to where you are going. On Wednesday, be on the lookout for Design Bites. Similar to speed dating, Design Bites give exhibitors an opportunity to d...

Fall has come and I for one, am thrilled. Fall in Southern California means the weather cools. Yes, it cools elsewhere in Fall but here, it takes the edge off of summer and the tourists have mostly gone home which leaves the beaches empty, a great time for a second, cooler summer. It also means WestEdge is coming.This will be our 5th year as a media partner and our fourth year hosting live conversations. This year, we have some special things to share so I hope you can make it out October 19th through the 22nd at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar. As we prepared for the show this year, we found a conversation from last year that you haven’t heard before on Convo By Design. This conversation is moderated by Veronica Miller of Modenus and features Beth Dotolo and Carolina Gentry of Pulp Design Studios, as well as Lori Gilder and Rebecca Reynolds of Kitchen Design Network. I enjoyed this conversation a great deal and I’m happy to share it with you. This is Reimagining the Classics for Modern Living. This is all about influences and influencers of the past and creating on success, breathing new life into classic work. This is Part two of Reimagining the Classics for Modern Living.
