July 29, 2019

Listen Now

We all know design matters and in this two-part series with healthy building expert, Allan Lopes we’ll discuss key issues that differentiate your services from the competition, while simultaneously promoting health and well-being within your client projects.

In this episode we learn:

  • science suggests, a design that speaks to an individual rather than the masses and feels “personal”, is beneficial in a variety of psychological ways
  • bringing the concept of wellness into design projects will create a career that is purposeful
  • in rooms you use frequently, artificial lighting that mimics nature’s circadian rhythms promotes well-being
  • any time you take nature out of the equation, there is going to be an imbalance
  • speak to your electrician about the CRI (color rendering index) of the light bulbs you specify
  • products with formaldehyde off-gas for years following installation

 

Design Intervention

Become irreplaceable. Think of ways to your client, or your market, can’t live without you. Even in crowded markets, if you not only pay attention to your clients’ likes and dislikes, but consider the deeper needs behind those desires and address them. Clients will be forever loyal to you and competition will not matter anymore.
