  • “TDC has been such a great community for people who are starting their career in design/architecture, but also for people from all walks of life in the industry. From Leah and Kayla’s warmth and welcoming aura, to the well-planned and well-executed events they have planned, it has become such an incredible platform to connect and scale businesses of all sizes. Thank you, Kayla, and Leah, for bringing people in our industry together in such a fun and exciting way to share and collaborate through the Designers Common!”

  • “The Designers Common is the perfect group when you are starting or new to the interior design world. I love how welcoming everyone is and eager to help each other out navigating the ins and outs of the business. Leah and Kayla have created a wonderful environment full of support and I could not be happier to be a part of it!”

  • “TDC changed my life! I love to network and meet new people but it’s not easy to find the right event organization! TDC not only provides fully organized events with lots of great people from the industry attending, but they also implement fun ideas every month. Between amazing speakers that share their knowledge to different locations to try new products or hear about new services - I attend every event they have to offer as they are always vibrant and leave a positive feeling when I leave them.”

  • “I attended my first event with the designers common back in August when they had panelists come to speak. It was a great space for people new to the industry to ask questions to senior designers and hear/ learn about their experiences in the industry. Leah and Kayla did an amazing job on making myself and everyone feel comfortable and were incredibly inviting”

  • “Being a solo entrepreneur, having a space to meet other designers has provided me with the community I was missing. Leah and Kayla are incredibly inviting and have created a space for designers to learn from one another and share in each other’s successes. The culture of collaboration Kayla and Leah have created in The Designers Common is invaluable to new designers establishing themselves in this industry. Hearing the career journeys of successful designers at the summer event was inspiring, but also comforting. Hearing my own experiences echoed in their stories helped reaffirm my confidence in my business and continue to grow.”
