We go deeper than just telling you about beautiful design: we dive into the lives, processes, and inspiration behind not only the designers and architects, but the talented people who help make their vision a reality- the artisans and craftspeople, the workrooms, the printers, the builders and the makers. These are the hands that actually take a space from concept to reality, and we feel they deserve to be known.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T14:17:39.161076+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/once-upon-a-design-7791840"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 2: Business Beyond Decorating : A Conversation with Designer Barrie Benson","slug":"episode-2-business-beyond-decorating-a-conversation-with-designer-barrie-benson","published_at":"2026-04-14T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/once-upon-a-design-7791840/episode-2-business-beyond-decorating-a-conversation-with-designer-barrie-benson","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/once-upon-a-design-7791840","url":"https://92c244f8-85b3-4d53-8ce7-f2aa62728e6b.libsyn.com/episode-2-business-beyond-decorating-a-conversation-with-designer-barrie-benson","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/92c244f8-85b3-4d53-8ce7-f2aa62728e6b/FRITZ_3_-_41326_5.45PM.mp3?dest-id=5348565","summary":"Charlotte-based designer Barrie Benson is an inspiration to anyone in the design world that is looking to expand their business beyond decorating.
