We dive into everything from economics to business to innovation, and explore not just the objects being designed, but the process of design itself.” AMANDA SCHNEIDER, President Now: I joined SANDOW as President and founder of ThinkLab in 2018. I’m a strategic thinker with a strong background including industrial design, market research, product management, sales, and strategic launch practices with a breadth of companies within the interiors industry. Today, ThinkLab is proud to harness the power of the SANDOW family of brands and rich history from its days as CCG to gather meaningful insights for the industry and share those broadly through research, editorial, and national speaking engagements. Then: Before founding ThinkLab, I spent 7 years as a researcher, blogger for the Huffington Post, and founder of Contract Consulting Group (CCG).
