From janitor to buzzy designer: How Sean Anderson got his start

<p>Sean Anderson has come a long way to get to where he is: after growing up in a small town in Mississippi and dropping out of college, he spent a decade working as a bartender, electrician and janitor. After moving to Memphis and redesigning his partner’s home, people began to notice Anderson’s work—so did design magazines like <i>Architectural Digest </i>and <i>Elle Decor, </i>and today he’s one of the southeast’s buzziest young designers.</p><p>On this episode of the podcast, Anderson speaks with host Dennis Scully about the advantages of working with a remote staff, his experience with The Expert, and why, for young designers, comparing yourself to someone else is the worst thing you can do.</p><p>This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.theshadestore.com/customer-service/to-the-trade">The Shade Store</a> and <a href="https://www.loloirugs.com/account/register">Loloi Rugs</a></p><p><i><strong>LINKS</strong></i><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/seanandersondesign/?hl=en"><strong>Sean Anderson</strong></a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dennisscully/">Dennis Scully</a><br /><a href="https://dashboard.simplecast.com/accounts/3ed13173-d92f-44f6-b8ce-d831e9672af7/shows/7a3106dd-e66b-4e68-9be2-0ac7b3125cc3/episodes/5d4c2a9c-d34c-48ec-97a4-3d8ee3084bb1/www.businessofhome.com">Business of Home</a></p>
