Hello, I’m Patti Carpenter, Global Trend Ambassador for Maison & Objet in Paris and America. I’d like to be considered as a speaker. I’d speak on color and trend forecasting in the home decor, gifts and fragrances sectors augmented by my work with international artisan development. I’ve spoken on Judith’s podcast on that work.
Hi Patti and thank you for your interest. I will share your inquiry with Sandy Sampson who will be in touch.
Title: “Color Harmony in the Built Environment: A Practical Workshop on Leveraging Color Data Values for Design Precision”
Abstract:
Join us for an illuminating workshop that delves into the art and science of utilizing color data values—specifically, hue, value, and chroma—to articulate and harmonize colors within the built environment. This hands-on session will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to leverage cutting-edge color measurement devices and their associated apps.
The workshop will commence with an exploration of the theoretical foundations of color theory, emphasizing the significance of hue, value, and chroma in achieving aesthetically pleasing and coordinated color schemes.
The workshop will provide practical tutorials on the utilization of hand-held color measurement devices. Examining devices from Variable, Inc., NIX, and DataColor, attendees will learn how to integrate these tools into their design workflows. From specifying color palettes for interior spaces to coordinating exterior facades, participants will discover the power of precision in color selection.
Through interactive demonstrations and real-world examples, the workshop will showcase how color data values can enhance design accuracy and communication. Attendees will leave with a comprehensive understanding of how to apply these principles to their own projects, fostering an appreciation for the nuanced role of color in creating cohesive and visually impactful built environments.
Whether you are an architect, interior designer, or anyone involved in the built environment, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to elevate your design capabilities through the mastery of color data values. Don’t miss this chance to unlock the potential of precise color coordination in your projects, guided by the expertise of industry-leading color measurement devices and applications.

The Art Resilience
We have entered a world that is unlike any other we’ve seen before. Businesses are folding, churches are closing and it seems that many dreams are being dashed daily. Yet there is hope if we can persist in our belief that the missions we pursue will have impact far beyond our lives.
No matter the role you play within an organization breakthrough in relationships and innovation is right on the other side of trying again. This idea of being resilient will anchor you and your teams in the truth of the fact that there is always a way forward. This is a value based proposition that will have immediate impact on your teams. The expected outcomes are:
More freedom to experiment
More focus on projects and driving them to completion
Concrete examples of people pressing through difficulty into solutions
Better team camaraderie in the trenches
More enthusiasm in projects
The crux of my presentation is seven elements that correspond to the color scale. These seven keys correspond to the language that comes from each of the colors and the wisdom we are to glen from the “creation” of lives that stand the test of disappointment and even trauma.
We are in a vital time in history where many have lost their ability to deal with the obstacles that have come post pandemic. The Art of Resilience is an inspiration and presentation of tools to remember passions and motivations that fuel personal and professional innovation.
