Today, we’re thrilled to welcome a dear friend and total muse - Anne McDonald, a Minneapolis-based designer known for her layered, artful approach to creating spaces that feel both timeless and uniquely personal. Named one of Architectural Digest’s "New American Voices" in 2024, Anne’s work spans residential havens and vibrant commercial spaces across the country, each filled with thoughtful details, natural materials, and a signature warmth that invites people to linger. Anne’s portfolio is as varied as it is beautiful, covering historic home restorations, new builds, restaurants, and even ultra-feminine showrooms. In this episode, she shares the nuances of designing for both residential and commercial spaces, revealing how she adapts her process, project management, and communication strategies to suit each. Anne will also give us a behind-the-scenes look at how she weaves her signature, layered style into even the most functional spaces, ensuring they feel anything but typical. Plus, we’ll hear her thoughts on the importance of networking and community within the design world, and why she believes collaboration is key to any designer’s success.
