    00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:01.790
>> My name is Saige Robb.

    00:00:01.790 --> 00:00:05.690
I am an Interior Designer and
Co-Founder of Dual Natures Design,

    00:00:05.690 --> 00:00:11.120
a Philadelphia-based interior
residential and commercial design studio.

    00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.680
So the name, Dual Natures, is about creating
spaces that bring out our best selves,

    00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:22.660
spaces that speak to our subconscious,
emotional levels of security, warmth,

    00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:25.940
social connection, productivity, efficiency.

    00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:28.880
So we try to build spaces
that bring out the best in us.

    00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.890
Well, every client is different,
every need is different,

    00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:34.570
and it really depends on
what you're looking for.

    00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:40.320
So usually we try to get a feel for what every
client wants in their end result and we try

    00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.110
to meet their budget and timeline as best
as possible, keeping in mind that we want

    00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:49.590
to give them something that's as unique as they
are and as unique as their needs for the space.

    00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:52.930
So we get to know our clients on a
personal level and then we build something

    00:00:52.930 --> 00:00:56.710
that will feel really natural to them
over a span of a couple of months.

    00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:01.870
We bring in our own contractors,
electricians, subcontractors.

    00:01:01.870 --> 00:01:03.780
We purchase materials.

    00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.900
We also build our own custom furniture.

    00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:10.760
My sister, Mia, and business partner builds a
lot of our furniture that is featured in many

    00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.140
of our homes and commercial spaces.

    00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:16.610
It's always amazing to walk into a space
and see something that we've created,

    00:01:16.610 --> 00:01:19.010
designed specifically for
that space and that person

    00:01:19.010 --> 00:01:21.930
that we've brought to life with our hands.

    00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:27.310
But I think that a big part of it that
we really utilize is using energy work

    00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:32.090
and reading the energy in the vibe
of the space, incorporating Feng Shui

    00:01:32.090 --> 00:01:36.040
to have an open floor plan
and have elements that flow

    00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.320
and that utilize our natural elements, as well.
