Great leaders understand that they are only as strong as their team and their business partners. Loczi founder and design principal Paige Loczi credits her group with the company’s success. “I’m inspired by my team, and some of us have been together for over a decade,” she says. “Learning to lead and grow with others whom you respect and trust builds so much confidence. I can’t imagine myself doing this with anyone else and consider myself lucky to have found others with so much integrity.” The design firm describes itself as ambassadors of color, pattern and texture, and their influence is growing. “Three years ago we expanded from San Francisco to Chicago,” Loczi says. “Since then, the team has doubled and we’ve done the largest projects of our career. We hope to open our physical Chicago location this year and move into Sonoma, California, soon. Plus, Palm Springs is also on our radar!”

When Paige Loczi cites sources of inspiration, they come from a range of social media sites, podcasts and design industry icons. “Debbie Millman’s Design Matters podcast has been a steadfast resource for years,” she explains. “She’s interviewed everyone from Ai Weiwei to Seth Godin.” As for industry icons, Loczi mentions architect Patricia Urquiola and fashion designer Iris van Herpen. “Urquiola’s curiosity and generous spirit leave room for the muse to arrive,” Loczi says. “She’s open and appreciates innovation and play. And I love van Herpen for her innovation and consistency. She doesn’t take shortcuts.” As for social media, on Instagram Loczi follows @sungkimwoodworkanddesign, @christopherstark, @alex_ray_projects, @calebwoodardfurniture and @makeconscious, which “expands awareness by approaching design from a holistic perspective.”
