>> My name is Saige Robb.
I am an Interior Designer and Co-Founder of Dual Natures Design,
a Philadelphia-based interior residential and commercial design studio.
So the name, Dual Natures, is about creating spaces that bring out our best selves,
spaces that speak to our subconscious, emotional levels of security, warmth,
social connection, productivity, efficiency.
So we try to build spaces that bring out the best in us.
Well, every client is different, every need is different,
and it really depends on what you're looking for.
So usually we try to get a feel for what every client wants in their end result and we try
to meet their budget and timeline as best as possible, keeping in mind that we want
to give them something that's as unique as they are and as unique as their needs for the space.
So we get to know our clients on a personal level and then we build something
that will feel really natural to them over a span of a couple of months.
We bring in our own contractors, electricians, subcontractors.
We purchase materials.
We also build our own custom furniture.
My sister, Mia, and business partner builds a lot of our furniture that is featured in many
of our homes and commercial spaces.
It's always amazing to walk into a space and see something that we've created,
designed specifically for that space and that person
that we've brought to life with our hands.
But I think that a big part of it that we really utilize is using energy work
and reading the energy in the vibe of the space, incorporating Feng Shui
to have an open floor plan and have elements that flow
and that utilize our natural elements, as well.
