Leslie Schofield & Catherine Goodsell of Lecate Design in Salt Lake City, Utah

<p>Leslie and Catherine reflect on their partnership and passion for their work. To them, “a door is functional art,” and that “not every door has to make a statement, but every door serves a purpose.” The door is a piece to showcase personality and architecture, and they believe that it is an often overlooked part of the home.</p><p>The two met and went into business together for their shared love of furniture and design. Prioritizing collaboration over artistic ego, Leslie and Catherine believe in relying on the synergy of their individual styles to elevate the design of each and every single one of their doors.</p><p><strong>Topics Discussed: </strong></p><ul><li>[03:06] The story behind Lecate</li><li>[09:03] How Leslie and Catherine met</li><li>[13:58] Leslie and Catherine’s design process</li><li>[19:19] Leslie and Catherine’s toughest moments in business</li><li>[28:49] How Leslie and Catherine make big decisions</li><li>[31:50] Keeping things in perspective</li><li>[37:38] The tipping point in Leslie and Catherine’s business</li><li>[41:06] Staying focused to be able to create but also execute</li><li>[43:11] How climate influences Lecate’s door designs</li><li>[45:03] What Leslie and Catherine are most excited for</li><li>[50:11] Staying hungry and balancing family and business</li><li>[55:47] What the American Dream means to Leslie and Catherine</li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Guest:</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://www.lecatedesign.com/" target="_blank">https://www.lecatedesign.com/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lecatedesign/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/lecatedesign/</a></li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Build Magazine:</strong></p><ul><li>Website - <a href="https://www.buildmagazine.com/" target="_blank">https://www.buildmagazine.com/</a></li><li>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/buildmags/?hl=en" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/buildmags/?hl=en</a></li><li>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BuildMags/" target="_b
