This week, Casey and Rainey get into the real magic behind standout spaces: collaboration. We sit down with David Cox of Design DCA, an architectural designer who knows that great design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. From architects to builders to interior designers, David shares how syncing up across disciplines isn’t just helpful, it’s essential and illustrates the transformative power of teamwork in achieving design excellence.

Together, they unpack what it takes to create spaces that feel both beautiful and functional, and get honest about the curveballs that show up along the way.
