NKBA Northern California and California Capital Chapters recently co-hosted their annual “Design Crawl” event at the San Francisco Design Center.
Chapter members from Northern California and California Capital met at the Cosentino showroom, where Kerrie Kelly, CEO/Founder of Kerrie Kelly Studio and Creative Director of Fabuwood, shared the keynote message. Nureed Saeed, Northern California Chapter President and Creative Director of Nu Interiors, interviewed Kerrie Kelly, who is a design award-winner, influencer, and brand leader. Kerrie Kelly offered insights for designers seeking to build industry partnerships and expand their own design brands.
Following the keynote and breakfast, chapter members formed five groups for their Design Crawl, where they visited six outstanding showrooms, including Cosentino, Country Floors, Hewn, Kohler, Milestone Distributors and Visual Comfort. At the end of the showroom tours, both chapters met back together for a group lunch at Visual Comfort.
NKBA Northern California Chapter President Nureed Saeed said, “The Northern California Chapter created this annual event four years ago as a way to bring together designers and showrooms, offering both of our membership groups a unique opportunity to see the latest of what is being offered in the market, while also making valuable connections. We are happy to have invited our friends in the Capital Chapter to collaborate with us again and share in this unique experience.”
