Summary

Today With Taylor Zack: Today, I am sitting down with Taylor Zack from Rever Design Co. If you dream of your own design firm and team but need to change your mindset, then this is the episode for you. In barely two years, Taylor has grown a profitable, well-designed business. Taylor has almost reached the two-year mark with her own firm and has seen some quick success. She does have seven years of experience working freelance and for some other design firms, so she didn't go in blind, but she did go in intentionally. Tune in to learn how new designers can succeed quickly with a growth mindset. LuAnn Nigara and Taylor Zack's Ah-Ha Moments “Saving for an office right off the bat was mr immersing myself in a tight knit community, establishing myself as a business, and giving me confidence.” - Taylor Zack More About Taylor Zack With an eye for interiors that are artful and elevated, Taylor has garnered clients and followers from coast to coast. She has spent nearly a decade honing in on her craft, staying true to her intimate design approach, and has developed a sought-after style. Originally from Long Island, New York, and after having moved West to California, Taylor has married timeless East Coast aesthetic with California’s laid-back, natural touch. Bold prints, a mix of modern lines and organic elements are the pillars that define and distinguish a Rever home. Today, with Taylor at the lead, Rever Design Co. provides designs for large-scale residencies throughout Southern California, working with architects and contractors to bring the distinct visions seen in her work, to life, and into your home.

0:00.0	Have you heard about the exciting new exhibit by the Black Artist and Designers Guild, which was commissioned by the Cooper Hewitt's Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City?
0:11.0	Big news, right?
0:12.5	The Cooper Hewitt's exhibition is called Making Home, Smithsonian Design Triennial.
0:18.1	Now, the batch designers exhibit is titled the Underground Library,
0:23.7	inspired by the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad is the clandestine network
0:28.5	established in the early 19th century through which many enslaved African Americans
0:33.6	traveled in search of freedom. This library installation represents a 21st century sanctuary
