Join design mogul Shea McGee for “Designed to Host,” a 60-minute Online Experience about creating spaces that are both beautiful and inviting for guests. As the founder and chief creative officer of Studio McGee – one of today’s most influential interior design studios – Shea knows a thing or two about creating thoughtful spaces that encourage community and connection.
“I believe that a home should be both beautiful and functional, not just for you, but for those who come and go as well. I’ve learned a lot over the years about how to use design to your advantage in creating comfortable, memorable spaces that reflect your personal style, and I’d love to share my tips with you.”
