Welcome! Today in The Lounge, guest host Rachel Moriarty sits down with Artist/Designer/Musician/Host and Entrepreneur Tym De Santo.

Tym is perhaps best known for his appearances on HGTV’s Design Star, however, Tym’s skills and abilities go well beyond his Design Star persona, (interior and exterior design) to fine artist, (sculptural furniture and photography) award winning singer/songwriter as well as a run at professional ski racing and adventure skiing. The common thread here, running like top stitch on a leisure suit lapel, a passion for using his wild imagination in a creative and inspiring way in everything he does!

In this episode: Together with his friend (and fellow top designer) Rachel Moriarty, Tym discusses his current design-build projects in Nashville, container homes and the ingredients it takes to make a vibrant home. Tym and Rachel also cover working through client push-back, designing with authenticity, why design matters and being immune to what people think.
