The Market Makers

Every creative professional knows the power of a before and after. It’s a classic transformation arc - whether it’s a renovation, glow up, or an old-fashioned make over. But reinvention doesn’t just apply to products or spaces. It also holds true for our lives and our careers. The sketch on the napkin that becomes a collection. The risk that changes everything. The work that turns a brand into a lasting presence. The Market Makers is a weekly podcast from ANDMORE, home to markets that have been the stage for so many of these transformations. Hosted by CEO, Jon Pertchik, each episode pulls back the curtain on the lives of creative professionals across design, furniture, home, lifestyle and beyond. From industry icons like Thom Filicia to leaders at heritage brands like Bassett Furniture, guests share the moments that shaped them, not just the before and after, but the process in between. Whether it’s finding your aesthetic, carving out a niche, scaling a business, or turning a side hustle into a lasting brand, The Market Makers goes beyond the showrooms and into the creative lives of the people shaping how we live, work, and gather. Follow The Market Makers wherever you get your podcasts for new episodes every week.

Building Community Through Design with Christi Barbour

This week, host Jon Pertchik sits down with designer and entrepreneur Christi Barbour, co-founder of Barbour Spangle Design. Christi shares how building around people, not aesthetics, became the foundation for a thriving design practice and a revitalized creative community in High Point.

Launching her business in her sunroom in 1997, she expanded one room at a time before growing into one of High Point’s most respected design leaders. Along the way, she navigated economic crises, personal loss, and industry shifts - always guided by the belief that results matter, but people matter more.

In this conversation, Christi opens up about her introverted leadership style, her philosophy of meaningful connection over shallow networking, and her Mirror Method approach: designing spaces that authentically reflect the people who live and work in them. Jon and Christi also explore her community-building work through High Point Discovered, and her trailblazing role as the first interior designer to chair the High Point Market Authority.
