028: Creating a Story Through Design with Kravet

I am excited to welcome Beth Greene of Kravet Inc to this episode of Bewitching the Home. I’ve been connected with Kravet since my early days as a designer, and they are a great resource for both new and established designers. Beth, who has been with the company more than 30 years, shares her journey with design. She also explains how the company has evolved over the years, focusing now on sharing a story through their offerings. The full range of support they offer helps designers create spaces that tell unique stories within clients’ homes.
