SUMMARY:Perspectives US/UK - Thought Leadership Exchange | Session 1
DESCRIPTION:PERSPECTIVES: HOW WE DESIGN\nTaste\, Influence & the Making of a Point of View\nThursday\, November 12\, 2026\n11:00 AM ET | 4:00 PM UK\nVirtual | Live UK/US Conversation \nModerated by Veronika Miller\, Founder of Designhounds \nWhat shapes the way we design? Is it culture\, experience\, personal taste\, or the influences we absorb along the way? And how do we develop a distinctive point of view in a world where inspiration is everywhere and trends travel faster than ever? \nJoin us for the first virtual conversation in Perspectives: UK/US\, as our speakers explore the influences that shape their creative thinking\, how they translate inspiration into meaningful design\, and what it means to develop an authentic design identity. \nWe’ll explore the differences and similarities between British and American design sensibilities\, the relationship between instinct and process\, and how personal perspective becomes a professional advantage. \nThis isn’t a webinar. It’s an open conversation between two design cultures\, with opportunities for the audience to contribute questions and perspectives of their own. \nABOUT PERSPECTIVES \nPerspectives is a Designhounds program connecting design professionals across borders through curated conversations\, experiences\, and meaningful industry relationships. Our UK/US exchange began in London in October 2026\, continues through a series of virtual discussions\, and culminates with an in-person gathering at High Point Market in April 2027. \nJoin the conversation.

DESCRIPTION:PERSPECTIVES: HOW WE WORK\nThe Business of Being a Designer\nThursday\, January 14\, 2027\n11:00 AM ET | 4:00 PM UK\nVirtual | Live UK/US Conversation \nFeaturing LuAnn Nigara (US) and Rachel Usher (UK)\nModerated by Veronika Miller\, Founder of Designhounds \nWhat does it really take to build and sustain a successful design business today? \nBeyond beautiful projects and compelling portfolios lies the reality of running a business: pricing\, profitability\, client expectations\, team management\, and the constant balancing act between creative ambition and commercial success. \nFor this second Perspectives UK/US conversation\, we’re bringing together LuAnn Nigara and Rachel Usher for a candid discussion about the business of design on both sides of the Atlantic. \nHow do American and British designers approach fees and project management? Are client expectations fundamentally different? What business practices are evolving\, and what can designers learn from their international counterparts? \nWe’ll explore the challenges of growth\, the importance of defining your value\, and how designers can build businesses that are both creatively fulfilling and financially sustainable. \nExpect practical insights\, different perspectives\, and an open discussion that invites the audience into the conversation. \nABOUT PERSPECTIVES \nPerspectives is a Designhounds program connecting design professionals across borders through curated conversations\, experiences\, and meaningful industry relationships. Our UK/US exchange began in London in October 2026\, continues through a series of virtual discussions\, and culminates with an in-person gathering at High Point Market in April 2027. \nJoin the conversation.

SUMMARY:Perspectives US/UK – Thought Leadership Exchange | Session 4
DESCRIPTION:PERSPECTIVES: WHERE DESIGN IS GOING\nThe Changing Client\, Home & Profession\nThursday\, March 25\, 2027\n11:00 AM ET | 3:00 PM UK\nVirtual | Live UK/US Conversation \nSpeakers to be announced\nModerated by Veronika Miller\, Founder of Designhounds \nThe design industry is changing. But are we changing with it? \nFrom artificial intelligence and digital design services to shifting consumer expectations\, evolving lifestyles\, and new approaches to manufacturing\, the forces shaping our profession extend far beyond aesthetics. \nFor our fourth Perspectives UK/US conversation\, we’re looking ahead. \nHow will the next generation of clients engage with design professionals? Will technology redefine the creative process\, or simply change how services are delivered? What will differentiate successful designers in a world where inspiration\, products\, and even design concepts are increasingly accessible to everyone? \nWe’ll explore the evolving meaning of home\, the influence of technology\, changing expectations around sustainability and customization\, and the opportunities emerging for designers who are willing to rethink traditional business models. \nMost importantly\, we’ll ask what the UK and US design communities can learn from each other as we navigate the future of our profession. \nJoin us for a forward-looking exchange of ideas\, informed opinions\, and perhaps a few healthy disagreements. \nABOUT PERSPECTIVES \nPerspectives is a Designhounds program connecting design professionals across borders through curated conversations\, experiences\, and meaningful industry relationships. Our UK/US exchange began in London in October 2026\, continues through a series of virtual discussions\, and culminates with an in-person gathering at High Point Market in April 2027. \nJoin the conversation.
