Forging Connections: Designers Craft Art at Ann Rank’s Event

Next up, let’s chat about a truly artistic initiative from our Florida Account Executive, Ann Rank! This past Valentine’s Day, Ann orchestrated a genuinely unique experience for some of the region’s leading designers. Imagine this: at the Orlando Glass Studio, creativity wasn’t just encouraged – it ignited as participants collaborated with skilled artisans to craft their very own personalized glass hearts.

The vibrant hues of molten glass perfectly mirrored the warmth and camaraderie of the evening, fostering wonderful new connections and inspiring fresh design visions. This was more than just a memorable social event; it was a vibrant celebration of artistic expression and the incredible power of shared, hands-on experiences, all made possible by Ann’s genuine dedication to forging truly meaningful relationships within the design community.

Winter Wonder: Toledo Design Community Warms Up with Rebecca Smith at IIDA Event

Over in the Midwest, Rebecca Smith, our fantastic Account Executive for the region, brought a much-needed touch of warmth and cheer to the Toledo design community at a recent IIDA Ice Skating event. While designers showcased their graceful moves (or perhaps charming tumbles!) across the ice, Rebecca’s thoughtful coordination ensured there was a delightful hot cocoa bar waiting to warm everyone up.

The evening was an absolute triumph, transforming a chilly winter night into a vibrant hub of connection. Laughter and shared stories flowed as freely as the steaming cocoa, creating a memorable gathering where team spirit truly shone. Rebecca’s initiative perfectly illustrates her dedication to fostering genuine relationships and creating impactful experiences for Toledo’s design professionals.
