Mia Hannom
In Form DesignTopic: Shaping Design Trends of the Future
Architects and designers continuously study the market, innovating and creating what may be the next big industry trend. While some ideas prove to be short-lived, others are here for the long run. You’ll learn new ideas as well as trends that are here to stay, including multigenerational living, indoor/outdoor living, flexibility in plans, and smart integrations.
Mia was born in South Africa and began her design career by founding a small design studio in Cape Town. In 2016, she moved to the States with her husband and two children. At In Form Design, she now offers personal consultations and full design services, as well as quick solutions to design dilemmas with SNAP-SOLUTION and ROOM FOCUS.
Rocky Snider
Beyond Hi-FiTopic: Seamless Smart Home Design
Imagine the benefit to homebuyers, controlling every smart device in and outside the home from a virtual assistant like Amazon Alexa and Google Home. These devices can be hidden in plain sight in virtually every room.
When not fine tuning his short game, Rocky is fanatical about delighting customers and the endless pursuit of perfecting service after the sale. His success in running a custom integration company evolved from many years working in both big box retail and boutique specialty retail. In addition to golf, Rocky enjoys spending time with family and wrestling with his rough-and-tumble two-year-old.
