About this episode

Tim Carroll interviews Brian Hubbard about modern workplace design trends and the impact of AI.

Tim sits down with Brian Hubbard, Senior Associate and Design Director at Gensler Nashville, to unpack what “experience-driven” actually means at work today, from hospitality cues and circadian lighting to the data (and interviews) that reveal what people really need. They also tackle AI’s role in design, avoiding sameness, and why the most valuable budget line is often…time.
