Welcome to Season 4 of Couture & Construction! We are an uplifting podcast dedicated to the many different aspects of the luxury building industry.
We have the pleasure of beginning this season by highlighting the Black Design Community and sitting down with 3 phenomenal leaders. Each of these leaders share their thoughts on how the design world can better support the minority community. How do we engage, encourage, and support the next generation of BIPOC designers? How do we reshape design to foster a more diverse design community?
This week, our third leader is the pristine designer & returning guest, Amhad Freeman. Amhad joins us to discuss how his grandmother influenced him to follow his passions & even inspired him into entering the interior design world. He also discusses some fun insights into his big move to Chicago & how he managed his business during the transition!
