From Teaching Students to Teaching Clients with Uploft Interior Designer Shannon Major

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Shannon Major, an inspiring designer from our team, as we continued our designer spotlight series. Shannon shared her journey from teaching to interior design, sparked by the creative itch she felt during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discussed her diverse daily experiences as a designer, her favorite project in a traditional coastal home, and the importance of being realistic about personal lifestyles when designing spaces. Shannon emphasized the significance of practical layouts and storage solutions, especially in small urban environments, reminding us that a well-thought-out floor plan is essential before diving into aesthetics. Tune in for a conversation filled with insights and inspiration!
