The Ginni Show

In this episode of The Ginni Show, I talk with designer Rasheeda Gray about her personal journey to finding a career with purpose. Today, she’s going strong as the Founder and Lead Designer of Gray Space Interiors. But, it took her 25 years to realize that this was what she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing. 

Today, you’ll hear what took her so long to figure it out. She shares her ultra-relatable desire to please ...

This week's guest is Interior Designer Rasheeda Gray. I first met Rasheeda over a year ago when I interviewed her for a project with Architectural Digest. Something about her “always on” business persona stuck with me. It’s clear that her work is very much a part of who she is.

Think about your late teens and early twenties. What did your life look like? Well, this episode’s guest, Anna Ratala, was interning in Brussels and then running for elected office in her hometown. Anna knew from a young age that she had been born with an entrepreneurial spirit. She also knew, having grown up in small-town Finland, that she wanted to experience a world outside, and completely different to, what she’d always known. ...

What do you picture when you think of Iceland? A vast white tundra, whitened by snow and ice? Perpetual cold and darkness? I mean, the name ICE-land insinuates as much, right? Wrong! What would you say if I told you it’s a place that turns the color gray into a beautiful shade? Or somewhere that’s as close to being on another planet as you can get? Seems more enticing now, huh? Well, this is how Adam Posner, founder of NHP Talent G...
