Two designers have recently joined the Miele Masters program — Chad Dorsey, principal, Chad Dorsey Design, and Kristin Harrison, founder and principal, Georgia & Hunt Design House. Following the successful launch of the two-year designer partnership program in May, with these appointments, Miele has added to the group of industry-leading designers, expanding to the Dallas and D.C. markets.
Based in Dallas, Dorsey is known for his distinctive brand of relaxed luxury design, working across a broad range of residential project types and scales. Harrison’s Washington, D.C. studio, Georgia & Hunt, specializes in new construction and full-home renovations, with a focus on sustainability, functionality and making spaces feel lived in yet fresh.
Dorsey and Harrison will bring their distinctive specialties and aesthetics into the mix of leading designers, serving as Miele ambassadors nationally and in their home regions.
The Miele Masters program includes five renowned designers in addition to Dorsey and Harrison — Tiffany Brooks, Tamara Feldman, Luis Fernandez, Jay Jeffers and Leyden Lewis.
“In the few months since we launched our Miele Masters program, we’ve seen these designers generating awareness and curiosity among the industry as they represent our brand,” said Catherine Grayson-Roper, vice president of marketing, Miele USA and Mexico. “Expanding the program presents an opportunity to reach new audiences, both in additional U.S. markets and new design networks. We’re proud to add Chad and Kristin to this influential group and look forward to collaborating with our seven inaugural Miele Masters.”
The expansion of the Miele Masters program comes as part of the brand’s continued investment in the architect and design community. Miele recently named Laura Kelso as design manager in Dallas, who will be responsible for building relationships with architects, designers and other specifiers to help integrate Miele’s innovative products into luxury residential projects in the Dallas area.
Additionally, beginning this fall, Miele will renovate select Miele Experience Centers across the U.S. to meet the expectations of today’s design community, while showcasing the brand’s latest products and innovations.
“We are honored to be working with some of the top interior designers across the country who are truly influential in terms of their designs and product choices,” said Briana Ryan, director of architect & designer development, Miele USA. “Adding Chad and Kristin to our group of Miele Masters presents an incredible opportunity for the brand in two strong markets that are important to the growth of our A&D program.”
