"Chad is a triple-threat: a keen observer of trends, a roll-up your sleeves go-getter, and most importantly, a wicked good time.

Bridges the gap between the old and the new

He bridges the gap between old-school design business and new-world digital commerce perfectly. I've had the pleasure of working with him for quite a few of those years and can't recommend him enough as someone who is intelligent solution oriented while practical to the time and monetary constraints of designers."

We asked: Challenges and recommendations
What challenges do you see facing brands and designers when it comes to selling online and through social media platforms and how can someone with my experience help navigate this confusing landscape?
"Interior designers are juggling all of the aspects of their business while also doing design work. Digital marketing, including selling online and through social media platforms, falls to the bottom of the list – unless a simple, easy solution is provided. Chad understands the ins and outs of e-commerce platforms, and not only that, but he knows exactly how to simplify the process for interior designer business owners."
Why would you recommend me to others in design or retail?
"Chad really gets it when it comes to best business practices for interior designers. He has personal experience in the business of design through both his mother and his wife’s business, and truly wants the best for all interior designers and retail partners."

"Finally, someone who understands both the creative and commercial sides of the design industry.
What impresses me most about Chad is how he bridges the gap between traditional design business and digital commerce. He showed us new ways to monetize our expertise that we hadn't even considered. His approach is refreshingly straightforward, and he always focuses on what actually works for design professionals.
He speaks designer, not tech - and that makes all the difference."
