Raised in Beverly Hills with a film director father, Madeline Stuart made her way into design working for up-and-coming screenwriters and actors. While the movies have played an enormous part in Stuart’s career, her work has the depth of a novel—carefully studied, richly textured, and endlessly layered. Her firm has been featured on Elle Decor’s A-List and the AD100, won numerous awards, and her work is regularly featured in top publications around the world.  
On this episode of the podcast, she speaks with host Dennis Scully about what she calls "scavenger decorating," the highs and lows of working with celebrities, and how she learned to walk away from bad clients—as quickly as possible.

Working as an artist and designer in the San Francisco Bay Area, Serena Dugan’s chance meeting with entrepreneur Lily Kantor led to the creation of Serena & Lily in 2003. What started as a design-driven nursery bedding company grew bigger and bigger with each passing year, eventually becoming the lifestyle giant it is today. In 2017 Dugan left the brand, but she re-emerged in 2020 with a boutique textile line under her own name—now she works primarily with the trade.
On this episode of the podcast she speaks with host Dennis Scully about reinventing herself after Serena & Lily, the problem with trend forecasting, and why she’ll always choose self expression over sales, every time.
