Today we're diving into the world of product development with Bryan Short of The Sewing Loft of Avon!

Recently, Bryan and his wife Rachel launched SLA Express - a semi-custom drapery line designed exclusively for interior designers. We're excited to have Bryan join us today to talk all about bringing a new product to market while maintaining strong client relationships.

Whether you're in the window treatment industry or any other design field, this conversation is full of valuable insights!
