Las Vegas Market: Beyond Retail: How Top Design Firms Use Physical Spaces to Build Brand, Trust, and Client Experience
For today’s luxury design firms, a physical space can mean many things: a private studio, a client-facing showroom, a hospitality experience, a creative hub, or a community anchor.
In an industry where many successful firms operate fully virtually or from private studios, what role does a physical space actually play in building a luxury design business today?
Join LuAnn Nigara, host of A Well-Designed Business®, as she moderates a conversation with Freddy and Alexander of Fredric Alexander and Megan Rose of Megan Rose Interiors on the evolving purpose of brick-and-mortar spaces in the design industry.
From appointment-only studios to experiential storefronts, this panel explores how thoughtful physical environments can support brand identity, deepen client trust, foster community relationships, elevate client experience, and strengthen long-term business strategy.
At its core, this is not a conversation about opening a “cute shop.” It’s a discussion about intentional business models, strategic visibility, and understanding when a physical presence becomes a true business asset rather than simply an expensive overhead line item.

Could a VA Actually Run Real Design Work?
You’ve probably asked yourself this at some point: could a virtual assistant actually handle real design work, or is that just wishful thinking?
Join LuAnn Nigara, host of A Well-Designed Business®, as she moderates a live conversation with Reed Humphrey and Jordan Sayeedi of Dezign Assist. This is not a sales pitch. It’s an open, direct Q&A covering exactly what tasks a Dezign Assist VA can take off your plate, how confidentiality and client data are protected, what training actually looks like before a VA touches your projects, and how compensation and scope are structured.
If you’ve ever wondered whether embedded design support could change the way you run your firm, this is where you get real answers.
Join us for lunch at 12:00pm. Panel begins at 1:00pm

Las Vegas Market: Stop Running a Job. Start Building a Business. A 60-Minute Workshop on Wealth, Systems, and Leading Like You Mean It
Your bills get paid. Your team gets paid. There’s money in the checkbook. And if that’s happening, it feels like success.
But if the work is there… why isn’t the money following?
For many designers, there’s no real clarity. You’re making decisions, moving things forward, but you don’t have a clean line of sight into what any of it is actually producing.
And at the end of it, you’re left wondering: where did it go? Why does it feel so hard to confidently say, “yes, I can put money away this year,” or “yes, we can take that trip”? Not because the work isn’t there, but because you don’t actually know what the business is earning.
In this session, LuAnn Nigara connects the dots between the work you’re doing and what your business is actually producing. She’ll break down why this gap exists, where the money is quietly slipping through the cracks, and the key questions every designer should be able to answer about their projects.
You won’t learn how to do a full project autopsy in this session, but you will finally understand why it matters, what it reveals, and how even small shifts in how you price, purchase, and evaluate your work can dramatically change what you take home at the end of it.
What Attendees Walk Away With
- The ability to tell the difference between a business that creates income and one that builds wealth, and how to honestly assess which one they’re running right now
- A three-part framework for building systems, pricing, and leadership that work without them in the room
- The CEO mindset shift that separates designers who are profitable from designers who are always busy but never ahead.
