I Confess... I Hired A Kleptomaniac

Apr 8, 2026 · 62 min · Ep 21

Welcome to another episode of Confessions of an Interior Designer!

Today we’re joined by James Hunter, design director for The Wiseman Group. With formal training in art education and textile & surface design, he brings a strong sense of scale, color, and proportion to his work, and a perspective shaped by extensive travel and time spent living all around the country. He has been widely published, is a two-time Luxe Gold List honoree, and has been recognized as part of Architectural Digest’s AD100.
