In this first episode of Season 3, we're diving into our theme of inspiration, be it a person, place, activity, organization or something else entirely. We'll talk with Cushing Terrell Design Director David Koel, who helps us set the tone for the rest of the season.

What is Inspiration? with David Koel

On Good, Thoughtful Hosts, Sarah Steimer explores the built environment on the notion that a designer’s role is to anticipate the needs of their guests. Join us to dig into the ways in which the built world can influence people’s feelings and experiences — and how. Beyond the traditional requisites of form and function, hear firsthand from architects, engineers, planners, and more on how they imbue designs with health, well-being, user experience, and other modern priorities. Interviews and discussions will include project case studies, profiles of designers, trend reports, and much, much more.
