1017: Dean Keyworth: Designing Modern Spaces Fit for Rural Living

Today With Dean Keyworth:

Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. My guest today is Dean Keyworth, founder of Armstrong Keyworth, who recently published a book through the Royal Institute of British Architects called New Country: City Style for Rural Living, that teaches you how to create practical designs that work for country homes and also provide functionality for the modern world.

There are so many details in the book that explain how this specific expertise in design impacts rural clients, and why it matters.

Beyond this, Dean shares the big picture concept about the value you bring to your clients and the impact you have on their daily lives.

LuAnn Nigara and Dean Keyworth’s Ah-Ha Moments

“The design has to work practically, but it doesn’t have to be that radically different. If you’re already contemporary, stay contemporary.” -Dean

More About Dean Keyworth

After a first career in travel marketing for British Airways and Hilton Hotels, Dean Keyworth re-trained with a diploma in Interior Design and set up his own practice, Armstrong Keyworth Ltd in 1997. As well as his client projects, Dean has written for magazines and newspapers in the United Kingdom and Europe on design matters.

Following 3 years on the board, Dean was elected as President of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) in 2006. In 2017, he was given the prestigious BIID Merit award for services to the industry.

His conversion of an 1821 church into a family home received a highly commended award for the ‘best re-use of a Georgian building’ from the Georgian Group in 2021

In December 2022, he published a book, ‘The New Country’ about bringing city sophistication to rural projects. He is currently working on his second interiors book about the changing trends in luxury design.

1015: Charlene Miranda: Transitioning to an Interior Design Career

Today With Charlene Miranda:

Today, I am sitting down with Charlene Miranda, Creative Director of Miranda and Co. During her childhood living in Kuwait, Charlene’s summers spent in India with her grandparents ignited her passion for creativity as she fell in love with the interior designs at her grandmother’s friends’ homes – a true creative from the very beginning!

Join in as Charlene and I delve into her journey from Project Manager overseeing million-dollar projects to pursuing her deep-seated passion for interior design.

More About Charlene Miranda

We are an interior design firm based in Brooklyn working on high-end residential projects in New York City, Connecticut, the Hamptons, Westchester, and beyond.

We curate beautiful spaces for our wonderful clients that reflect their lives and loves. Our designs strike a balance between warm minimalism with vibrant accents. We achieve this by layering neutral-statement-investment pieces and sprinkling in vivid art and accessories.

Our Creative Director, Charlene Miranda, has a unique vision for every space that is influenced by her very multi-cultural background. Having grown up in Kuwait, she spent summers in India with her grandparents where she found herself enamored with the design of her grandmother’s friends homes. Upon graduating, she moved to Canada where she lived for 10 years and eventually found herself in NYC. Being somewhat of a nomad, Charlene has always had to cultivate the feeling of home wherever she lived which ultimately fueled her creativity and passion for creating homes for other people that reflect their lives and things that they love.

Her experience with New York based, award winning interior design firms, such as Chango & co. and Michael Dawkins Home, drives her to work on high-end residential projects that incorporate custom furniture and vintage finds. We work with you and your investment to bring your vision to life.

We want you to love your space and guide you through the exciting design development process, all the while ensuring good communication and effective collaboration.

LuAnn Nigara and Elan Design House’s Ah-Ha Moments

“Because a business operates day-to-day well, doesn’t mean it’s something to sell, right? It’s the process and the documentation and ablity to show the profitability, and a client lis,t and all of that—that’s the thing that you buy” – LuAnn Nigara

“Even though we can’t take every project…we do have a very nice, tight-knit design community. We have friends that are designers as well, maybe they have more opportunity, more time, to take those projects.” – Alison Green

“It doesn’t mean you’re not in business. It doesn’t mean you’re not making money. But it does mean that you’re not optimized, you’re not making as much as you could, when you do not take the time to strategize and to also look and evaluate what actually happened.” – LuAnn Nigara

Today With Angie Viehman:

Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. I hear from designers all the time who want to start online businesses on the side. And while it’s easy to understand why this is appealing—creating some passive income and diversifying your revenue—the truth is that I usually see this as a distraction. My advice is almost always to stay focused on what you’re doing now instead of chasing a new business or a new idea.

And in most cases, I stand by that. But my guest today, Angie Viehman, specializes in helping women entrepreneurs start more strategic online businesses—ones that don’t distract or derail, but instead complement existing businesses by targeting current and past clients. Today, she’s here to share how to do it

More About Angie Viehman

Angie Viehman is a seasoned Certified Operations Expert and E-Commerce Business Builder with over two decades of experience working with industry giants such as Target, Crate&Barrel, Room&Board and Blu Dot. Angie brings a refreshing approach to the e-commerce landscape, guiding businesses to triple their revenue while abolishing overwhelm and overwork. Her passion lies in empowering women to create sustainable businesses that they love, generating wealth and balance in all aspects of their lives.

When Angie is not helping clients take the e-commerce world by storm, she can be found hiking, growing edible landscapes and hanging with her Bernedoodles, Walter and Lilly.

1011: Nicole Arnold: 3 Steps for a Successful Transition to Interior Design

Today With Nicole Arnold:

Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. My guest today, Nicole Arnold, came to interior design as her second career after a corporate background at Levi Strauss.

She took the lessons she learned interacting with C-suite executives in her corporate career and applied them as a designer, learning lessons along the way but becoming an industry leader.

Today, she’s here to share what she believes are the three core foundational pieces that lead to a successful transition into our industry.

LuAnn Nigara and Nicole Arnold’s Ah-Ha Moments

“If a client has to call us to find out what’s going on, something is wrong.” -Nicole

“We keep hearing that AI is killing the industry, and I’m sorry, but that’s not the industry’s problem. The problem is in each of our own businesses. If we’re not showing up and managing a project from start to finish in a way where it’s clear that we are the leader of the project, with grace, kindness, and professionalism, that’s the problem.” -LuAnn

More About Nicole Arnold

As president of an award-winning Dallas interior design firm, she’s earned widespread acclaim for her ability to “make space meaningful” for the customized, personalized residential interiors and the commercial facilities she designs in prestigious the Dallas area communities such as Preston Hollow, University Park, Kessler Park, Southlake, Highland Park, Allen, Frisco, Plano, Irving, Flower Mound, and more. In addition to her work in Texas, she has also completed projects in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona, Colorado, and New York. She also consults and guides custom home builders and realtors so they can enable their clients to visualize their new space.

Nicole co-founded the North Texas Design Group in 2013, an alliance of designers working directly with manufacturers to provide clients with competitive pricing and a wide assortment of exclusive furnishings. Additionally, she holds a dual major Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing and Professional Sales from Kennesaw State University. She is an IDS Professional and ASID Associate.

She is currently a member of the Interior Design Society’s National Board of Directors.

Today With Taylor Zack:

Today, I am sitting down with Taylor Zack from Rever Design Co. If you dream of your own design firm and team but need to change your mindset, then this is the episode for you. In barely two years, Taylor has grown a profitable, well-designed business.

Taylor has almost reached the two-year mark with her own firm and has seen some quick success. She does have seven years of experience working freelance and for some other design firms, so she didn’t go in blind, but she did go in intentionally. Tune in to learn how new designers can succeed quickly with a growth mindset.

LuAnn Nigara and Taylor Zack’s Ah-Ha Moments
