Practice Forward: Technology, Tools, and Ideas Reshaping Architecture Practice Forward is a podcast exploring how architects and designers adapt to rapid technological and cultural shifts. Through in-depth conversations with practitioners at the intersection of legacy and innovation, we examine topics like adaptive reuse, sustainability, digital twins, LiDAR, and AI. It’s not about being a “tech firm,” but about how we think—about modeling, stewardship, and decision-making. If you’re rethinking practice, Practice Forward is the conversation for you. https://www.scan2plan.io/

#19 Practice Forward Podcast (Desiree Edge)

V Owen Bush introduced Desiree Edge (Washington), a multidisciplinary interior designer and founder of Designs By Des Interiors, highlighting her unique approach to creating trauma-informed spaces, and also introduced Scan2Plan as the podcast sponsor. Desiree Edge shared that their design philosophy was deeply inspired by a traumatic house fire they experienced in seventh grade and their father's deployment during 9/11, which instilled in them a purpose to help communities and families with home care and home life, emphasizing the home as an internal sanctuary. Desiree Edge also discussed challenges in transitioning to interior design entrepreneurship, the integration of psychological insights in design, balancing psychological depth with aesthetic appeal, and their critique of the "Instagram effect" in design.
