Episode 3: Making Something Out of Nothing: Design, story, and the events that break the mold

Design is never just the design; it's the fight to protect a vision from budget, venue, and everything else standing in the way. Andrew Nugent sits down with Lindsay Schwartz (CEO & Creative-In-Chief, LSCC), Robert Russo (Founder, Bob Russo Event Design), Kelsi Tucker (Director of Design, Cohera), and Graham Edmondson (Owner, Edmondson Design & Production). The conversation covers the moment a creative brief becomes a game-changer, the questions every designer should ask before the concept even starts, render vs. reality when the budget doesn't match the vision, and why it's worth the extra effort, and the bill, for clients who truly connect with your work. Presented by Stagedge: the good, the bad, and the messy, straight from the field.
