Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to work with and meet so many wonderful people from many areas of  the design industry. I love sitting down with other designers, vendors and creative types to talk about the day in and day out challenges, tools that really work for our businesses and sharing products that we each love. I sometimes feel like I sit on an island alone since Studio Ten 25 is a small design firm, so having those relationships keep me motivated and positive.  And adding positive people to my life is always at the top of my list.

I am introducing a new element to Shop Ten 25, our online boutique. We are in the final stages of updating a few things on The Shop and when I started the process, I knew that I wanted to include a few of my favorite people that have become a wonderful part of my life and business. I was once told that “connecting the dots” in life and business will lead me to great experiences and even greater opportunity. When you reach other to others, you quickly realize that there is no room for competition and that it’s all about the relationships and friendships that come from working with others.

“DESIGNER PICKS” will be the latest addition to Shop Ten 25 when we go live with our updates later this month. So in the meantime, I wanted to introduce the first four designers to curate a collection at Shop Ten 25! We have asked each of them to select a handful of pieces that they love and reflect their personal design style!  As we move into summer, we plan to add a few more designers. AND, of course if you have someone in mind that would be a fit we would love to hear about them!!  Stay tuned, we promise to share more details down the road!
