LuAnn Nigara and Adam Stevison's Ah-Ha Moments “Experience goes a long way.” – Adam Stevison “We can teach a designer that's designing as much as the consumer and the end user.” – Adam Stevison “I know I can't sell what I don't know and I don't understand… So I love that we have this ability to come and really absorb it and grasp it and get the reason for the price tag, what is the value that goes in.” – LuAnn Nigara “Nothing gets handed over at Home Depot Design Center to anything third party at any stage of the game.” – Adam Stevison “Ultimately, this is actually the role in the value of the designer—to be the person that's doing the coordinating among everybody.” – LuAnn Nigara More About Adam Stevison Since starting with The Home Depot in 2001, Adam Stevison has worked in various roles both customer facing and regional support positions.
