This podcast has a depth of care, conversation, and designing connections with humanity at the forefront! Bravo! Bravo!

I loved listening to Dianne and Doug interact. I think Furgatory is one of the best words ever created! We need to put that on a t-shirt 🔥 I look forward to hearing LOTS more conversations about decommissioning furniture. It’s a massive global issue and is going to take everyone working together to try and solve the problem. Thank you for talking about designing your life. It’s something I am also super passionate about. Design your life; you only have one. Thanks for what you do, Doug, and your positive influence on the world!

Dianne Kimiko Murata of Kimiko Designs is spot on with the complexities to a job going all the way from when we are brought on to a project to it being installed right when the puzzle is complete. Furniture doesn’t have to be a four letter word and Dianne gives great insight into this all the way from programming thru to post documents. I love the new word made up about the gap that sometimes happens between the design firm and the dealer, Furgatory!!! She touches very well on sustainability and re-using or re-purposing product so it doesn’t go into a landfill. Well done!!

The podcast episode with Dianne Murata of Kimiko Designs was SO GOOD. I took fast and furious notes on three intertwined topics: Kimiko’s two decades of working virtually and building community within that workplace model, the need to solve the puzzle of decommissioned furniture and the environment, and her encouragement to “live by design”. Thank you, Doug, for this informative and fun segment.

I’ve been a commercial dealer designer for a quarter of a century. I’m also a huge podcast fan. Until “Imagine a Place” I never let the two meet. Im so grateful that I did because this is introspective, lighthearted, and so relevant. Honestly I think people in this industry need support groups sometimes. Not only does this feel like one but it feels like one with lots of hope.

Join Doug as he canvases the interior design community. Conversations with seasoned visionaries, industry leaders and excited up-and-comers. He’s insightful, personal and inquisitive around the myriad of issues facing the design practice. Why can’t I rate him above 5 stars?!😄👍🏽

I really enjoyed taking part in a conversation with Doug and love the format of Imagine a Place. Doug has a great ear for taking conversations to an interesting place, and our time together just flew by. Plus, he curates such an interesting range of guests across the episodes. Highly recommend folks check it out.

Always inspiring. Always thought-provoking. Always a wonderful way to feel connected to others in our industry. Absolutely a do-not-miss!

The episode was really enjoyable! You are a very “present” host who sounds truly interested. Your pace is great for the listener and your questions were creative and open-ended. Interesting hearing about AI in architecture and design!

Doug was so great to talk to and made the experience so fun and light hearted. IAP speaks to so many relevant topics and sheds a great light on innovative design.

Doug is a fantastic host who not only keeps us entertained, but he digs deep into each guest’s story and unravels their authentic story in a thought-provoking way. Looking forward to more episodes!

Kudos to Doug for keeping at the inquisitive interviews and discussions with design leaders. It’s been enjoyable to tune in.

At first I wasn't expecting much from these shows. I knew they would be solid and thoughtful, but I continue to be delighted at how honest-to-god "pleasant" and really good they are. Doug is a marvelous host and the guests provide real insight. These are an unexpected delight. Well done OFS.

Doug is a great podcast hosts and picks really interesting people to chat with. You won’t be disappointed!

This podcast achieves something wonderful: it presents a visual quality through audio. With lovely music and generous hosting from Doug, guests are able to create a picture of the importance various locations have on our mood, productivity, and overall happiness. This is a podcast we didn’t know we needed, but we certainly do.

The mix of guests touch on all aspects of design, not just interiors. It’s easy to listen to and there are always new bits of advice or ideas in each episode. Enjoying this!

As a manager of people who is currently trying to navigate and innovate the idea of “workplace” for my team, this podcast has given me a lot to think about. It has not only provoked thought, but provided me some resources that I would never have been exposed to otherwise.

I especially loved Bill van Erp’s interview and his stories about his career over the “arc of time” as a design librarian. This is a top level information interview for anyone wondering what happens in the world of interior design work.

Newly discovered and already a favorite! Such an enjoyable, eye opening, and interesting podcast for anyone in the interior design industry. I love the calm, insightful conversations but also stays very entertaining!

Great collage of guests with a variety of insights on design and interiors! Love the host!

This was so informative and inspirational- and down to earth. Take a listen and then take action! Thank you, OFS!

Thank you Doug + Imagine a Place team for sharing our conversations in a very authentic way! Not always an easy thing to do, but you’ve made it work wonderfully. Appreciate it! 🖤✨

I so appreciate the explorations that this podcast make into the different paths toward a better world. Design insight, science, opinion, it’s all good.

The podcast is very well done and moderated. Each episode has been full of great content, interesting guests, and thoughtful inspiration and encouragement. It’s easy to listen to and I look forward to hearing more!

Loved all of his insight and I agree having a positive outlook on the world creates amazing design ❤️

This industry of designers and makers that bring the built environment to life is full of creative, fun and courageous spirit. They are literally shaping the world we live in. What a great community of voices to inspire us!

I’m glad to have a new podcast to listen to during this time we are all living through 👍 I’m looking forward to hearing more episodes!

Thoughtful insight on commercial / public environments and our tactile - sensory surroundings!

Their passion for positive design is magnetic.

Love this Podcast. Among the other design ones this one stands out!

Thought leaders in the furniture industry. Great listen!
