FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
High Point, N.C. – May 29, 2026 WithIt, the women’s leadership development network for the home and furnishings industry, is excited to announce an engaging two-part CEU event at Dallas Market Center, in partnership with MC Studio and Heritage School of Interior Design – Dallas.
This dynamic and experiential event, “Designing the Relationship,” brings together education, connection, and sourcing – created to help interior designers strengthen client relationships while building meaningful industry partnerships.
“Design is about more than decision making – design is about building trusting relationships and creating spaces that feel like home,” said Jen McNairy, owner of MC Studio. “I value the quality of relationship that I have with my clients, vendors, and showroom staff – taking care of each other is our first priority.”
Designing the Relationship: CEU & Curated Shopping Experience, will be held on June 25, 2026 from 3 PM – 6 PM at Dallas Market Center in Textile Salon, IHDC 2F215 and MC Studio, IHDC 2F140. Led by Kim Bailey, CEO & Executive Director of Heritage School of Interior Design Dallas, alongside Jen McNairy, Owner of MC Studio, the CEU explores how designers build strong client relationships through communication, trust, and thoughtful client qualification.
This course is based on Kim Bailey’s 22 years of experience as a residential interior designer, business owner, and educator. She is an IDS Professional, CLIPP Certified Living In Place Professional, and an active ASID Affiliate and NKBA member. In addition to leading Design Lifestyles, LLC, she serves as Owner and Executive Director of Heritage School of Interior Design – Dallas. During the CEU, attendees will gain insight into expectation-setting, trust-building, and establishing strong project foundations. “Success in design is not just measured by beautiful projects, but (by) the people encouraged and the legacy we leave behind in the industry,” said Kim Bailey.
The event begins in Textile Salon (IHDC 2F215) at 3pm, and the experience continues across the hall at MC Studio (IHDC 2F140), where attendees can engage directly with the showroom team and enjoy limited-time-only featured brands and collaborations.
Designers who attend both will be entered to win a custom-designed chair valued up to $3,700. The winner will collaborate one-on-one with an MC Studio designer to select fabrics and create a personalized piece.
