Sourcing Sustainable Materials: LIVE at the Workplace Innovation Summit
Episode 040 • 44 min
What is the importance of sustainable design materials in the workplace?
During Design Museum Everywhere’s Workplace Innovation Summit in December, Sam chatted with Nicole Schmidt, the CEO at Source, the world’s largest commercial construction product database. Nicole discusses how she uses her design background to lead her efforts at Source and the value of material transparency. Together, they dive into the benefits of healthy sustainable materials on productivity and wellness. Later on in the show, they are joined by Carissa Mylin, a Senior Interior Designer at SERA Architects. Carissa shares the resources and tools designers can use to make healthier design decisions for the office space and at home.
