    01. Q & A with Robyn: The Cool, Crazy, and Chaotic Work of Interior Design

    Bad Bird Good Design is a brand new podcast that dives into the dynamic world of design. Created by Robyn Branch, our award-winning, candidly host, this show promises engaging conversations about design without being confined by topics, genres, or ideas. In This Episode: Introduction: Host shares their vision for a versatile and authentic podcast experience. Color Coordination: A happy coincidence in wardrobe choices leads to a discussion on color schemes. The Process: Starting a podcast involves everything from artwork and branding (Robyn Branch Design) to choosing fitting music—elements many listeners might be unaware of. Design Philosophy: Robyn emphasizes that good design isn't as simple as TV shows make it seem; there's meticulous work behind creating beautiful spaces tailored for others. TV Influence: The pros and cons of home improvement shows like HGTV are discussed – they can inspire but also mislead viewers regarding the complexities involved in real-world designing. Client Relationships: Navigating client expectations is part art, part psychology. Robyn shares insights into working with different types of clients and ensuring their visions come alive while managing practical constraints. Industry Awards: Recognition comes up with mention of Florida Design Magazine's Seaglass Awards where Robyn’s designs have been honored multiple times—a testament to her skillful workmanship. Client pride in award-winning homes adds another layer of satisfaction for both designer and homeowner alike. Handling Challenges: Fixing botched jobs versus starting anew Balancing creative freedom vs. client direction Importance of using trusted contractors Trends vs Timelessness: Staying current yet classic is key; fashion parallels interior design trends. Color selection plays an influential role in setting trends—Sherwin Williams & Benjamin Moore are notable players here. Designer Tips: Limiting choices based on expertise can guide clients effectively Men often prefer fewer options paired with price differentiation Key Takeaways: Real-life interior designing is more complex than what reality TV portrays—it requires collaboration, patience, and problem-solving skills. Trends come and go; understanding your clients' personal preferences helps create lasting designs beyond fleeting fashions. Communication between designers and clients is crucial—setting expectations early prevents chasing tails later down the road.
