In this second episode of a two-part series (Part 1: How to Work with an Interior Designer), Veronica goes deep with interior designers Karen Korn and April Jensen about their careers, working with clients, and designing rooms from start to finish. Get the inside story from the point of view of the pros, as Karen and April pull back the curtain on the client-designer relationship. This is an open, fun conversation with two of St. Louis’ most exciting designers working today. “I promise you won’t want to miss it,” exclaims Veronica.

”There’s a lot that goes into that intuition and observing and listening. Many times they’re like, “how did you know?” They’re just taken aback and I think that it’s a skill that maybe you can’t learn. Maybe that’s why we excel at what we do.”
This episode is sponsored by Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. Seeds: Containers of a World to Come, on display February 21–July 28, brings together work by ten contemporary artists who explore issues of fragility, preservation, and possibility through the lens of the seed. From sculpture and film, to installation and painting, the exhibition reflects on our current environmental challenges and our connection to the natural world.
