Wendy Callahan values collaboration; that’s why she opened the South Shore Design Center.

Wendy Hall Callahan is an artist. It says so on her bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University, it also says so on her master’s diploma from Ball State University. There are paintings hanging on plenty of walls across the region that also confirm her natural gift and rite of creation. But paint on a canvas is not where her artistry begins, and it most certainly is not where it ends. Wendy, principal and founder of the South Shore Design Center, expresses her art everyday as she guides her clients in a multitude of design projects. At her Duxbury showroom, four other designers rent space at the South Shore Design Center to join in the collaborative work environment and access furniture sources and samples. All the designers own and run their own companies but enjoy the exchanging of ideas that is not often found in the interior design industry. Design suggestions, sensibilities and scenarios make up the daily exchange of ideas, connections and anecdotes between the creative women.

“For me, I found that I don’t like to design in a vacuum,” Wendy explains. “Some people keep their ideas very close to the vest, but that isn’t me. So, I decided to open a business that was a resource for others, who like myself, like to network and collaborate. I mean for us, we could talk about design all day.”
