| 8/21/25 | ![]() Future of Floor Coverings | Ana Cunningham & Ali McMurter | S7 E17 | S7 E17: Off the shelf or highly bespoke, interior designers know that the choice of floor coverings is one of the most important decisions they can make for the feel of a finished space. From throw rugs to area rugs, wall-to-wall carpeting or other wovens – this is a highly-specialized industry where local and global mills and weavers work hand in hand with designers to produce products based on material, color, pattern, weave, thickness, ecologic, price point, and even timeline needs and preferences. In this episode, we speak with Ana and Ali, Managing Partners of Toronto-based Creative Matters, a design studio founded in 1988, focused on stunning, bespoke, ethically-produced floor coverings. In our conversation, we address how aesthetics are always the #1 decision driver, but that functional concerns weigh heavily in more high-use commercial settings, including hospitality.

| 8/7/25 | ![]() Future of Pattern Making | Shelly Xu | S7 E16 | S7 E16: The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest polluters, responsible for 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions and with 87% of textiles ending up in landfills or incinerators every year. Recent forecasts suggest that the trend is rapidly continuing in a negative direction with the resulting climate change impact anticipated to displace tens of millions around the world. Other than consumers consuming FAR less, fashion and other manufacturing industries need to shift towards sustainable manufacturing. Our guest this week is Shelly Xu- a fashion entrepreneur, holder of multiple technology patents, multi-time nominee for the prestigious Earthshot prize, winner of multiple other international awards, and CEO & Founder of SXD- a software platform that uses AI to reimagine pattern making for zero waste in the fashion industry and beyond.

| 7/24/25 | ![]() Future of Different | John Roescher | S7 E15 | S7 E15: John Roescher and I met at SXSW earlier this year. When asked what he wanted to speak about on XYZ- the Founder and CEO of the Austin-based design agency, Raw Materials, which was named 2024's D&AD Design Agency of the Year- thought long and hard, ultimately deciding on the ‘Future of Different’.

His underlying belief is that “everybody has the ability to be creative, to make things different in the world”. Or, as he quoted Dolly Parton as saying, “Figure out who you are and do it on purpose.” That is the difference. Tune in to this meta conversation with an award-winning creative mind today!
