In this episode, I interview Sarah Gibson, the Co-founder and Co-director of DesignByThem, a design house based in Canberra, Australia. DesignByThem is run by designers who are dedicated to creating and producing unique products for design professionals and enthusiasts alike. Products can be seen in any establishment worldwide.
Established in 2007, DesignByThem was founded by industrial designers Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis. Sarah has designed a range of furniture, lighting, and accessories as well as curated and developed the work of other fellow Australian designers. The company has been available for over 15 years, obtained 100% growth last year with around 14 FTEs.
In business, trust is hard to give. However, Sarah has their way to build trust in the company. She says, “Having a good conversation channel has been really beneficial for our team, it’s bringing everyone into the decision-making process and that's been the most genuine way to build trust in our company.”
