Design never sleeps—especially when your studios span continents.

In this episode of Hospitality Unpacked: The Design, Adele Rankin and Brigitte Bédard of CHIL Interior Design share what it takes to lead hospitality projects that cross time zones, cultures, and expectations. From 24-hour collaboration between Vancouver, Toronto, and Hong Kong to navigating client customs in the Middle East, they unpack the creative thrill (and chaos) of designing on a global stage.

Hosted by Matt DeShantz, this conversation explores cultural sensitivity, global sustainability, and the rush of creating spaces that redefine luxury—one timezone at a time.
