Ted Audio Collective I was channeling like the idea of being in New York City and to me

if for no one else it was like I'm here I did this thing a literary agent read it and

once talked to me it was one of the most emotional experiences I've ever had in my whole life.

From the Ted Audio Collective this is Design Matters with Debbie Milman.

For 18 years Debbie Milman has been talking with designers and other creative people about what

they do, how they got to be who they are, and what they're thinking about and working on.

On this episode, musician Susanna Hoffs talks about writing her first novel and about failed

relationships. You start to lose your confidence, you think, well I ever connect with another

human being. I've been reading and loving architectural digest for as long as I can remember.

The magazine and the website are the first places I go for design inspiration. So when I found

out that the editors of architectural digest just launched the AD Pro Directory, the ultimate

resource for matching designers with prospective clients, I knew I had to tell you all about it.

Now for the first time ever AD's extensive community of homeowners and design enthusiasts

can easily find and hire their favorite design professionals.

The directory is a list of AD approved architects, interior designers, and outdoor specialists

that anyone in need of design services can access for free by searching by profession and location.

If you're a design expert who is looking to grow your business and want a chance to be featured in

AD, apply now. If you're a client seeking best in class design services, you can browse AD's extensive

list of design experts. Want to be introduced to the best of the best, explore the AD Pro Directory
