How Alexa Hampton learned the language of design

<p>Alexa Hampton is, by any definition, a lifer in the trade. The daughter of celebrated designer Mark Hampton, she grew up in the business, and took over her father’s firm at the age of 27 after his untimely passing in 1998. Since then, Alexa has never slowed down, earning endless plaudits for her work, appearing regularly on industry best-of lists, authoring books and columns, and designing product for everyone from Kravet to Theodore Alexander to The Shade Store.  On this episode of the podcast, she speaks with host Dennis Scully about how interior design is like a language, why her ideal firm size is 11 employees, and why it’s important to embrace—not turn away from—transparency and change.</p><p>This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.roomandboard.com/">Room & Board</a> and <a href="https://modern-matter.com/">Modern Matter.</a></p><p><i><strong>LINKS</strong></i><br /><a href="www.alexahampton.com">Alexa Hampton</a><br /><a href="instagram.com/dennisscully">Dennis Scully</a><br /><a href="www.businessofhome.com">Business of Home</a></p>
