Kansas City, Mo., designer Stephanie Stroud entered the Design for a Difference contest, sponsored by CCA Global’s International Design Guild (IDG), with hopes of being chosen as the winner, and receiving the opportunity to do just that—lend her design talent to make a difference in the Kansas City community.
Stroud, who learned about the contest from her local IDG showroom, Madden-McFarland, is an independent designer who had worked with the retailer prior to the contest. “I’ve worked with Madden-McFarland for years, so I knew if they were promoting something it had to be something good.”
