Why Tom Scheerer is winding down his firm

Business of Home Podcast

An architect by training, Tom Scheerer’s career in design began almost on a whim, when he and Jeffrey Bilhuber met and agreed to collaborate on a room in a showhouse. Their partnership was short lived, but it led Scheerer into what became a sparkling career, with projects around the world, two books, and regular appearances on Elle Decor’s A List and the AD100. 

Now, he’s winding down his firm, and, through a unique profit-sharing agreement, handing off more and more of the business to his employees. On this episode of the podcast, he speaks with host Dennis Scully about why it was an advantage to never apprentice for another designer, why he never got deeply into licensed product, and why the most important quality a client can have is a sense of humor.
