Join host Bryan Greene for a lively journey into the craft of interior design at Corgan. Nicole Cain and Abby Valliere trace their paths from early inspirations to firm leadership, revealing how clear client visioning, “this or that” kick-off drills, and clever cost-versus-wow decisions turn blank plans into spaces people love.  They unpack the realities of ground-up work and adaptive reuse, share a fast-track delivery playbook that keeps schedules intact and teams healthy, and swap tips for avoiding ceiling “acne,” marrying finishes with lead-time realities, and weaving hospitality vibes and bold palettes into modern workplaces.  Favorite tools like Revit, Procreate, notebooks, and hands-on site walks come to life in success stories from tech headquarters to Park Place and Wells Fargo, all underscoring why collaboration beats silos every time. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:32 Nicole's Journey into Interiors01:31 Abby's Role and Passion for On-Site Work03:02 Client Relationships and Initial Meetings05:16 Balancing Client Expectations and Design Integrity10:12 Challenges in Adaptive Reuse vs. Ground-Up Projects12:34 Collaboration with Engineers and Contractors15:20 Managing Ceiling Design and Expectations18:40 Material Selection Criteria19:18 Fast-Tracking Projects: Key Considerations19:38 Making Budget-Friendly Design Choices20:45 Effective Collaboration and Team Management22:48 Defining Success in Design Projects24:53 Leveraging Technology in Design30:42 Industry Trends and Personal Insights33:58 Favorite Projects and Final Thoughts Visit: https://www.Corgan.com/  Also connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CorganInc/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CorganInc/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/CorganInc  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corgan  Video Produced by: Corgan Have Questions?
