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.

SUMMARY:Perspectives US/UK – Thought Leadership Exchange | Session 2
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 3
DESCRIPTION:PERSPECTIVES: HOW WE SPECIFY\nProducts\, Materials & the Designer–Manufacturer Relationship\nThursday\, February 25\, 2027\n11:00 AM ET | 4:00 PM UK\nVirtual | Live UK/US Conversation \nSpeakers to be announced\nModerated by Veronika Miller\, Founder of Designhounds \nDesign is only as good as the products\, materials\, and craftsmanship that bring it to life. \nBut how do designers discover\, evaluate\, and specify products in an increasingly complex global marketplace? And how do the relationships between designers\, manufacturers\, and craftspeople differ between the UK and the US? \nOur third Perspectives conversation explores the intersection of design creativity\, technical knowledge\, sourcing\, and the designer–manufacturer relationship. \nWe’ll examine how designers approach material selection\, product performance\, customization\, and the growing demand for distinctive solutions. We’ll also discuss the practical challenges of specifying across international markets\, from availability and lead times to installation requirements and product education. \nCan manufacturers become better partners in the creative process? Are designers equipped with the technical knowledge they need? And how might stronger collaboration lead to better design outcomes? \nJoin us for a conversation that goes beyond the product catalog to explore the relationships\, expertise\, and decisions behind successful projects. \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.
