Forget efficiency, it's all about flow for Scott Hudson of Henrybuilt
Scott Hudson is the founder and CEO of Henrybuilt. In the early 2000s, he left behind a career in publishing and tech to start a design company. Over time, Henrybuilt became known for high-end European “system” kitchens made in America to an exacting standard. Since then, Hudson has launched a more accessible brand, Space Theory, a software company, Symbolic Frameworks, and a publication called, Untapped.On this episode of the podcast he speaks with host Dennis Scully about the eternal quest to stay connected with customers and follow their lead; where AI makes sense in design and where it doesn’t; and why, for him, efficiency is never the end goal—flow is.This episode is sponsored by ErnestaLINKSHenrybuiltDennis ScullyBusiness of Home
