“word to the wise” wednesday: victoria hagan

So much of what I do is about how people live, and I am always looking for balance.  I love it when rooms come alive with a personality, and I like things to be real and honest and reflect the people who live there.  We designers definitely have a point of view, but it depends where a home is and who the people are and what they like.  It’s a process.   You ask lots of questions and you listen.  It’s the listening and the seeing and the feeling – it’s all about the senses.
