Mandy Cheng is a FORCE of Nature. I was so honored to sit down & discuss how she created her eponymous firm.
Mandy launched her solo design career first as a production and graphic designer in the film/television industry. She has designed music videos for chart-topping names such as J.Cole, One Republic, and Dillon Francis & DJ Snake, and worked as a graphic designer on projects ranging from 20th Century Women and Ladybird to Beyonce's Lemonade.

She designed the home of Emmy Raver-Lampman and Daveed Diggs, which landed the April 2021 cover of AD, and most recently, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita’s home, which was also featured in AD and their fan-favorite platform, Open Door.
Cheng has designed homes, retail stores, and offices that span the country. She currently resides in Los Angeles, California with her husband, Rory, and their dog, Scout.https://www.mandychengdesign.com/

As a Chief Financial Officer for over 10 years, Danielle loved accounting but felt like something was missing while just helping investors and board of directors of large companies.
That’s when she realized her thrill for helping entrepreneurs, especially women, who were breaking the rules of business in order to create something amazing – something the rest of the world didn’t expect them to do. Danielle left corporate accounting and formed Kickstart Accounting, Inc; an accounting firm designed to help female entrepreneurs understand their financials in order to grow their businesses and become more profitable.
Since then she has realized entrepreneurs need more than just a bookkeeper; they need real financial analysis and education in order to get the confidence required to create the sustainable wealth they deserve.

Hello beautiful people! I am back and excited to dive into some key topics; customer service, communication, and accountability.
Recently, I found myself facing a situation that demanded direct action. As creatives, we're natually sensitive about our craft - it's part of what makes our work so unique. But there's a balance to strike: being open to critical feedback is just as essential. For me, ensuring my clients' satisfaction isn't just about completing a project; it's about building lasting relationships. Happy clients aren't just a one-time success-they're the cornerstone of repeat business and the source of invaluable referrals. Let's dive into how I navigated this challenge and what it means for creative professionals like us.

This is a story about falling in love, taking chances, and of course, Brooklyn.
We met on an app in 2017 and chatted non-stop for two weeks before ever meeting in person. Immediately, we bonded over our shared love of architecture and design, and have been inseparable ever since.
Although Jordan is from Las Vegas and Barry is from New Orleans, we’ve called Brooklyn home for 15 years. Our first dates were biking around Bed Stuy, admiring the beautiful brownstones and dreaming about our future home.
Six months into dating, we purchased our first home together – a 130 year old historic brownstone. We know, we move fast!
Our fixer-upper was in need of some major renovations but we needed to squeeze our dreams into our budget. People say that renovating a home is the most stressful thing a couple ever goes through but it became our foundation.
We started our own blog and Instagram to document the renovation process and quickly built an incredible online community. We finally worked up the courage to ask one of our followers, Simply Cyn, if she wanted help with her renovation. Her “yes!” completely transformed our lives.
Since then, we’ve completed over 25 projects, expanded to a team of seven, and even wrote a book, For the Love of Renovating, which is available at your local bookstore or online.
When we’re not taking measurements, laying tile, or stripping a 200-year-old bannister, you’ll find us sipping iced coffees on our stoop, taking our 10-year-old puppy, Zuko, on a walk, and of course, still biking together through our beautiful neighborhood – now as fiancés.

The roots of our products are in Johanna’s native Sweden. That is where, as a young girl, she sat in her mother’s atelier as she meticulously crafted dresses by hand.
Johanna learned to appreciate the quality and versatility that only hand work can achieve. And it is where she was surrounded by the clean elegance of Scandinavian design.
As a young woman, Johanna took these influences with her to America to attend fashion school and then to establish herself as a successful clothing designer.
Working for such companies as BCBG, Katayone Adeli, Express and Gap - her accessible designs have been worn by women all over the country. Whether gracing the pages of Vogue, an actress’ wardrobe or a special night out, her designs made women feel special.
Now, Johanna has turned her eye to designing for the home. Through her travels, she has discovered incredibly talented artisans and collaborates with them to elevate their traditional craftsmanship with refined composition.
Whether engaging the dyers in the highlands of Peru or the weaving families of Portugal, she envisions the possibilities of their techniques and incorporates their unique skills into her products.
The result of this marriage of cultures and creativity is “a revelation” that is “simply breathtaking.”https://www.johannahoward.com/https://www.instagram.com/johannahowardhome/

Takeaways
Being on a TV show can be a challenging experience, requiring designers to give up control and adapt to unexpected changes.
Balancing business and the demands of production can be difficult, especially when it comes to managing timelines and installations.
Budget constraints and unexpected surprises are common in design projects, and designers often have to make compromises.
Trusting your designer and allowing them to work their craft is important for a successful project.
Collaboration between architects and interior designers from the beginning of a project is crucial for a smooth and cohesive design.

Her dad started his own cabinet hardware company in the 80s, so she grew up with an unusual appreciation for the pieces of metal that help you open your doors and drawers.
What Priya didn't appreciate was the shopping experience. Buying hardware today is tedious, thanks to the overwhelming number of underwhelming designs, inconsistencies across finishes and materials, and overall lack of curation and guidance.
She created Hapny to change that. Priya designed a more thoughtful end-to-end experience with an intentional product collection that lives at the sweet spot of durability, affordability, and beauty.
She want to help you turn your home - temporary, rented, or owned - into something you admire and that makes you smile, starting with the tiniest details.
