Episode 61: How Designers Can Turn High Point Into a Business Growth Engine with Tammy Covington
In this episode of Design Dash, we’re thrilled to sit down with Tammy, President & CEO of the High Point Market Authority—aka the woman behind the curtain of one of the most iconic events in the design world.
We dig deep into the real High Point story—the chaos, the creativity, and the quiet evolution that turned a century-old furniture market into the can't-miss destination for interior designers. From riding buses undercover to fix broken signage, to forging powerful partnerships with the NKBA, Tammy shares how she’s not just running a show… she’s reshaping an industry.
If you’ve ever wondered:
Why the designer experience at High Point feels tailor-made
How to actually prep like a pro (hint: ditch the heels, pick up the desktop planner)
And what the future holds for whole-home design…
…you’ll want to hear every second of this.
Oh—and if you’ve ever felt intimidated by kitchen & bath, or unsure how to maximize market for biz development? Tammy’s got some gold for you.
This episode is about more than strategy. It’s about finding your Framily in the madness, soaking up the energy, and turning inspiration into ROI.
