I’m not sure why I’ve gotten the chance to be in the orbit of so many iconic individuals in my career. Most have taught me some key lesson or other. Everyone talks about her superb taste, so true, but to me Lee was most exemplary in the area of manners. I’m sure she was horrified to have to work alongside a shy, overly earnest, bumpkin-y twenty-something truly ordinary girl like me, but it never, and I mean never showed. Of course I felt a little intimidated anyway, but that’s on me. Anyway, we got that little Armani boutique at Nan Duskin launched in perfect style, as that’s how she did everything. With great style. And impeccable manners. . . . #leeradziwill #agencylife #fashion #mannersmatter #lifelessons
When your very dear friend and client stops by on Valentines Day with these, and everything suddenly feels rosy. ❤️❤️❤️ 💋 @marksandtavano @michaeltavano @stonemill294 #agencylife #valentines #roses #everythingisawesome #gooddayatwork #loveourjob
This is my REAL DAY today. 6 am: wake to find power is out in my home which is also my office. Thanks, ice storm. Compensate by ordering my keto breakfast in - $10 plus tax and tip for a single cup of MCT oil coffee. Worth it. Sort of. Fiddle with circuit breakers. 😂 9 am: power still out. discover my interior design client’s Instagram account lost hundreds of followers overnight - quick Google search reveals the site is trying to fix a “bug” and that Nike lost 1.1 million followers - grateful that I don’t own the agency that does the Nike account. Notify client. (Grumble about how managing expectations about stuff we can’t control is 90% of agency life.) 11am: miss an editorial conference call for fabric client because I’m on the phone with the building owner desperately trying to get the electricity fixed. Call editor to apologize- text client an apology. Feel terrible about it. 3 pm: luxury stone client texts to say his website is down. Enter emergency mode - cancel 3:30 call with event designer for High Point to concentrate on getting this website back up. Turns out their IT guy only bought an SSL certificate for 4 months. Teach self how to buy and install and activate an SSL that won’t expire. Feel I accomplished one thing and then realize it was none of the things on my top 3 list for today. 4 pm: write this post. Thanks for reading it. 4:10 pm: Power is restored. Start on today’s top 3 to do list. . . . #resilience #resourcefulness #agencylife #dayinthelife #tomorrowisanewday
We write CEU courses for brands to teach professional architects and designers about various aspects of design so that the designers can maintain their accreditation with industry associations such as @aianational @iida_hq and @asid_hq. This week I was finishing up a course on Cradle to Cradle sustainability for our fantastic client Mosa, world’s only makers of C2C ceramic tile. While looking for images to illustrate biodiversity, I came across this adorable little fox. He’s a tiny desert fox - the smallest breed of fox in the world. I couldn’t use him for the CEU, but I just couldn’t bear not to share him with you all!! #agencylife #fringebenefits #biodiversity #desertfox #interiordesign #cutenessoverload #architecture #cradletocradle
We 💙 working with influencers like @thebluehydrangeas - this powerhouse female is an actual M.D. in addition to being a tastemaker on the ‘gram. She recently collaborated with our much loved clients @cryptonfabric on this room makeover. Looks lovely!! . . . #agencylife #brandstrategy #contentmarketing #influencermarketing #interiordesign

Shocker!! ❄️ Pretty, though. #nyc #firstsnow #winteriscoming #whitewalkersinmanhattan photo swiped from stylist @colinking as I can’t risk another slip/fall sitch, but it looked just like this on 22nd today!
Isn’t it fun when you discover someone you know and admire but haven’t seen for years is on Instagram? I just ran across the feed of @phyllischillingworth, gifted creative director and co-founder of the legendary ad agency Chillingworth Radding. She pivoted from the agency business several years ago, and now pursues painting full time out in the Hamptons. I love this pic of her cat, Garbo, checking out the birds, out of reach in one of her paintings (in its early stages) on her Mac screen. It reminds me of her natural intellectual curiosity, her quiet confidence, her understated humor - her agency (with my dear pal Steve Radding) specialized in creative that, like this image, sort of winks at you and makes you smile. Cheers to that. Heaven knows we all need a smile. . . . #agencylife #creatives #colleagues #mentors #respect #galleryart #catsofinstagram
