Over the last two years Starr Miller and her design team have logged 3,000 hours working on the Interior Design Society Designer Showhouse. As co-chair of the event, there was much more to do than design a space. When the space opened on March 13 and closed two days later due to coronavirus mandates, it was a tough pill to swallow for the large cast involved. In the podcast, Miller discusses finding a solution that extended the life of the Showhouse for both the charitable beneficiaries as well as for the designers. She also shares about her life before design, her years at Parsons School of Design, why building a relationship with her area’s regional publication is good for business and tips for gathering client referrals.
