    WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW

    WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW

    Susan and Nicole discuss their current websites. They both decided to take the podcast outside of the children's wear industry, and more towards what they are working on now. These blogs, under the umbrella of design, is a more relevant reflection of their lives in which they wanted to bring to Design Intervention. They still continue to weave their design expertise from the children's wear industry and talk about how they have used that in their own personal design process as they pivot into other design areas.
