Vishion Announces 2020 Winners for Interior Design Award Competition

Winners have been selected for the 2020 Vishion Design Award. The award celebrates color in interior design and encourages recognition of the craft of the interior designer.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 5, 2020 (Newswire.com) –​Vishion, a Charlotte, N.C.-based interior design startup, recently announced the winners for the 2020 Vishion Design Award. Maureen Stevens of Maureen Stevens Design was named the grand prize winner of the Vishion Design Award 2020 and recipient of the $5,000 prize. Maureen is based in New Orleans but has clients in various cities, including Houston, the project location of her winning submission.

Grand Prize Winner Maureen Stevens said, “Colors and nailing that perfect palette can be oh-so tricky. To designers, we don’t see hues just as primary or secondary, it runs the  whole gamut … the Vishion app puts the ability to use Pantone colors to find that elusive art or decor to match that deep English fern to match a historical green I’ve been working with right at my fingertips.”

The award recognized designers who showcased a passion for incorporating complex color palettes in a single space design across textiles, materials, space planning and staging.

“Designers form an amazing community that encourages talent and skill to flourish,” said Bryan McCarter, Chief Marketing Officer at Vishion. “We feel honored to be a part of that community and to help recognize innovative and creative design professionals in this, our first Vishion Design Award. There were so many wonderful submissions; it was exciting to see which design our judges chose.”
