Multi Story Thinking

Patrick O'Donnell is the International Brand Ambassador for British paint and wallpaper manufacturer Farrow & Ball. Patrick is responsible for Farrow and Ball’s outreach strategy connecting with interior designers across the UK and North America. His role includes colour consultation, curation of colours and promoting products, delivering talks on colour and decoration, and providing logistic support to interior designers. I interviewed Patrick via Zoom in early December 2022.
