My guest today is Philadelphia based interior designer Maria Viola.  She's been heading up her own team for about 15 years and her award winning firm, Viola Interior Design, while being active on several boards in the city.   We dive into lots of reasons why good design is essential... in other words, why style matters!  My first question was cut off in the recording but I was simply asking Maria to tell us how she got into design and then, what's currently driving her forward in her career.
