25: Lessons Learned From a TV/Film Industry Design Legend

You're in for a real treat in this episode!
My talented friend Beth Kushnick is here and we are diving deep into her 30+ year career as a set decorator. Beth has honed her design chops starting with the original production of Little Shop Of Horrors on Broadway to TV shows and movies that I know that you have all seen today.

In this fun, enlightening episode we will discuss:
• The immediate parallels between set decorating and designing for residential clients.
• Beth's process for set decorating
• Why (and How) Beth lives by the mantra of always saying "yes" to everything!
• Fads: Friends or Foe? Beth and I weigh in
• Beth's high/low set decorating tips that you can implement in home design
• How pivoting is essential as a business owner and Beth's method of pivoting after the writer's strike and actor's strike

I KNOW you will love hearing this side of our industry and the ups and downs of set decorating and will see a lot of your own business model in this episode. After we're done, you'll also be recognizing her sets from all of your favorite tv shows and movies.
