Episode #58 - Interview with Lauren Hulsey

Episode #58 - Interview with Lauren Hulsey

On this episode of All-In Design, we speak with Lauren Hulsey of Barrett Kent Studio. Join us as we hear about Lauren's journey from Anniston, to Tuscaloosa, to 30A, to Atlanta, and then to Birmingham - a circuitous route of making bold moves, trial by fire, and gaining experience and knowledge along the way. We also learn all about her firm's work on the Mountain Brook Fire Station, which is a type of project we have never discussed on the podcast and was fascinating to discuss. We hope you'll give it a listen.

Episode #57 - Interview with Jenine Kilgore

Join us on this episode of All-In Design, as we speak with Jenine Kilgore, owner of Gallery Services Collaborative. Jenine has been a strong supporter of IIDA and Gallery Services has hosted many of our local chapter's industry events (just a quick shout out). For anyone that knows Jenine, they would not be surprised that this is a free flowing conversation - one that goes from her history and the history of Gallery Services, to her sons already planning what they will take when she passes, to how her company can work with a client in a myriad of ways. It's a fun conversation full of laughs and we hope you'll give it a listen.

Episode #56 - Interview with Leah Newton

Join us on this episode of All-In Design, as we speak with Leah Newton with Live Design Group. Live Design takes a different approach to the initial conversations and design process, with a 2-day in person design session with their clients. We also discuss technology and where the industry may go as AI becomes a bigger and bigger part of our lives and, of course, we get sidetracked and talk about movies and TV shows. It's a fun discussion and we hope you check it out!

Episode #55 - Interview with Sarah Jelks

Join us on this episode of All-In Design, as we speak with Sarah Jelks with Nequette Architecture & Design. Listen in as we hear about Sarah's start in New Orleans, studying interior design at Auburn University, and how she found her way to her current position as design lead at Nequette. You will also learn about her propensity to wear facial hair for Halloween costumes and her skills at the Nequette pot luck. It's a fun episode and we hope you check it out!

Episode #54 - Interview with Amelia and Margaret Hicks

It's a two-fer on this episode of All-In Design, as we speak with Amelia Hicks with Davis Architects and her twin sister Margaret Hicks with Hatcher Schuster Interiors. It was a joy to sit down with both sisters and hear their journey from Tampa to Samford to both working at A/D firms in Birmingham. It's a fun dynamic interviewing two people who know each other so well and we hope you find the discussion as enjoyable as we did.
