I have had the good fortune to spend time at CPL events where we hear interesting things, from smart, engaging people.  As a senior interior designer at a local architecture and design firm, CPL events offer a unique opportunity to engage with professionals from a myriad of backgrounds in an open and genuine way. Knowing that we are not alone is daunting and encouraging – very much like the discussion at each event.
