We haven’t posted in a while and that is because we’ve been BUSY! Earlier this year HSW Design was approached by Sophie’s kids pediatrician (not realizing she was a patient family) wanting us to design his new office. He was opening his own practice! Clients opening their own business are a favorite at HSW Design so we jumped right in and made that dream a reality! It has been an honor to work alongside Dr Guerra and work with him from planning to finish. Today was their grand opening! congrats!

Sophie was featured in this article recently. Check it out!

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Sophie Pullen a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below. Hi Sophie, thanks for joining us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand? I wanted my company name to have a direct reflection on work

Here’s some education for you. The general public doesn’t always know the difference and I’m happy to inform you!

The Professional Difference Between "Interior Designer" and "Interior Decorator"

Many people use the terms "interior design" and "interior decorating" interchangeably, but these professions differ in critical ways.

Interior design is the art and science of understanding people's behavior to create functional spaces within a building. Decoration is the furnishing or adorning of a space with fashionable or beautiful things. In short, interior designers may decorate, but decorators do not design.

Interior designers apply creative and technical solutions within a structure that are functional, attractive and beneficial to the occupants' quality of life and culture. Designs respond to and coordinate with the building shell and acknowledge the physical location and social context of the project. Designs must adhere to code and regulatory requirements and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability.​

The interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology -- including research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process — to satisfy the client’s needs and resources.

U.S. states and Canadian provinces have passed laws requiring interior designers to be licensed or registered and to document their formal education and training. Many states and provinces also specifically require all practicing interior designers to earn the NCIDQ Certification to demonstrate their experience and qualifications. By contrast, interior decorators require no formal training or licensure.

Got new hats today! Thank you for doing such a great job! I ran into this company while on a trip in San Diego. I had never seen cork on hats before and fell in love. I brought a hat home for the husband and decided that HSW needed some new ones!
