Join us on this episode of All-In Design, as we speak with Jenn Mercier with 5th Dimension. After a lengthy discussion about Design Week in Chicago (NeoCon and Design Days), we get into Jenn's journey from working at various firms around the Atlanta area, to finding 5th Dimension, and then her move to Birmingham four years ago. Jenn has been involved in IIDA for many years with the Georgia chapter and is now joining the Alabama chapter's board. We discuss how to layer in design trends into a project, how to get ahead of value engineering, and how talented she is at the Irish Goodbye.

On this episode of All-In Design, we speak with Lauren Hulsey of Barrett Kent Studio. Join us as we hear about Lauren's journey from Anniston, to Tuscaloosa, to 30A, to Atlanta, and then to Birmingham - a circuitous route of making bold moves, trial by fire, and gaining experience and knowledge along the way. We also learn all about her firm's work on the Mountain Brook Fire Station, which is a type of project we have never discussed on the podcast and was fascinating to discuss. We hope you'll give it a listen.

Join us on this episode of All-In Design, as we speak with Jenine Kilgore, owner of Gallery Services Collaborative. Jenine has been a strong supporter of IIDA and Gallery Services has hosted many of our local chapter's industry events (just a quick shout out). For anyone that knows Jenine, they would not be surprised that this is a free flowing conversation - one that goes from her history and the history of Gallery Services, to her sons already planning what they will take when she passes, to how her company can work with a client in a myriad of ways. It's a fun conversation full of laughs and we hope you'll give it a listen.
