Episode description

Hey ya'll! Today, I welcome my friend and colleague in the design industry, Courtney Porter.  In this super duper detailed episode, Courtney and I dish about SO many things in our industry, but all centering around High Point Furniture Market.

Here are the fun topics we discuss in this episode:
- What is the "new" luxury design market and how are designers & manufacturers addressing it?
- What Courtney & I both love AND hate about High Point ;)
- How our industry has changed with less arrogance and more "down-to-earthness"  with designers
- The many educational opportunities that High Point Market gives to you
- The qualities to look for & questions to ask when considering working with a new vendor
- Courtney and I share our top tips on how to navigate the mammoth High Point Market with ease and accomplish what you came for (while having fun!)

Courtney is not only the Editor in Chief of DecorNewsNow.com but is also the co-author of Green Interior Design with Lori Dennis. She combines a deep understanding of luxury design, business development, and the tech media landscape to deliver insights in a voice respected throughout the industry. Interior designers, architects, showrooms and retail brands have relied on Porter's consultations to move their businesses upmarket and into the modern age. She also hosts  the Disruptive Design video podcast series.
