Complimentary boxed lunch provided (first come, first serve). 0.1 CEU.

Laura Britt, RID, ASID, Assoc. AIA

Guided by many years working for esteemed practices, Laura Britt opened her own practice in Austin in 2001. Since that time, her practice has evolved into what it is today a respected and established partner of local architects and developers with a long history of successful projects. As a registered interior designer, Laura is recognized as a leader in sustainable design with a long lasting dedication to green building and healthy design practices. Most recently, this has culminated in her achievement of LEED Platinum in the construction of her personal residence.

Educated at Oklahoma State University, she has been twice honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award. Laura earned her Master’s degree in Architecture from The University of Texas at Austin, where she serves as a member of the Advisory Council for the School of Architecture.

Jamie Drake, FASID

Jamie Drake, co-founder of Drake/Anderson, brings over 30 years of his singular, exuberant design sensibility to this newly established multidisciplinary interior design partnership. Arguably the foremost colorist of our day, he distills his vast knowledge of periods and styles with a discriminatingly modern connoisseurship, creating environments that are both glamorous and eloquent, yet always interpreted through the unique prism of each client and assembled with a sense of contemporary comfort. His unmistakable flair, apparent even in his most traditional spaces, is highly sought after by clients such as former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, entertainer Madonna, and many in the glittering social scene of which he, too, partakes. Equally adept at appointing a cosmopolitan glass-sheathed penthouse, a sprawling oceanfront estate, or such commercial interiors as a private foundation and a state-of-the-art medical facility, Drake's prolific work also includes product design. Among his original designs he counts rug collections, furniture, bath fixtures and accessories, fabrics, and lighting. Drake's work has been featured in virtually every design publication of note, including ELLE DECOR, House Beautiful, Interior Design, and Architectural Digest (national and international). Among accolades too numerous to mention, he has held a spot for each of the last five years on the latter publication's AD100 list, as well as A-lists of many other magazines. He was also bestowed with Fashion Group International's Night of Stars Award for Interior Design, inducted into the ASID College of Fellows and Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame, and was designated by House Beautiful as a Master Class designer. Extremely active in various causes, Drake currently serves as chair of The Alpha Workshops, where he has been a board member for many years. He is a recipient of a Partnership for the Homeless Director's Award and is a longtime supporter of Housing Works, for which he also serves as chair.
