When I first got serious about doing this podcast in May, I wrote down a list of people that I admired, and I wanted to know more about their journey in interior design. Anne Sage was on the list because I remember one of my first styling shoots for AphroChic was with Rue Magazine, and Anne is the co-founder of this publication. Plus, I really enjoy perusing her IG account every week to see her styling shots vs. reality as a new mother. This week we have some real talk around Anne’s approach to the BLM Movement, and discussed what is she letting go of (interior design wise) for 2020.
Anne Sage has been blogging since 2008 with her signature smart yet stylish approach to interiors, entertaining, wellness, and more. A graduate of Stanford University, she worked as a consumer strategist in Manhattan prior to becoming a full-time content creator.
In 2010, Anne co-founded the online lifestyle Rue Magazine; and in 2016 she co-founded Light Lab, a photo and events space in Los Angeles. She is also the author of an interiors book entitled Sage Living, which was released Fall 2015 from Chronicle Books.
Currently, Anne splits her time between maintaining her own social platforms and offering client services in interior design, art direction and photo styling. She lives in Southern California with her husband, daughter, and their three pets.
Since we’re getting close to Thanksgiving, this week for our interior design game I wanted to focus on the future, and what are letting go of in 2021. I asked Anne to share with me 5 things in interior design that can create a happier home, and what is she letting go of interior design wise for 2020 to live a happier life in 2021?
The shoppable mood board this week focuses on Anne’s style, and some pieces from our conversation that you can bring home.
