Save Time, Source Smarter

In-person shopping will always be an essential part of the design process—but for busy design firms, making the most of showroom visits and markets requires efficiency. Today’s technology is helping designers streamline the experience, from planning what to see and source to capturing selections, pricing, and product information on the go. This panel explores the tools and workflows top firms are using to make in-person sourcing more organized, productive, and precise—so designers can spend less time managing the process and more time discovering the right pieces. Moderated by Mary Beth Chau, CEO of Materio and host of the podcast Designing Tomorrow, with firm principal Jamie Gasparovic of Studio Gaspo and Jaclyn Isaac, designer and founder of NestFreight.
