Design & Pop Culture: The TV to Designer Pipeline and its Influence

This episode is a doozy. A mega episode if you will. This one covers a lot and am grateful to have good friend Amanda Kratochvil along for this one as we discuss the ways Interior Design is represented in TV and Movies.  We also get some insight from some other designers who were  inspired to become designers by DIY TV. I had such fun talking about the way pop culture has shaped the publics perception of what we do, and how we want to see ourselves represented. Enjoy!
