MarketScale producer Taylor Bagley met up with notable Chicago-area designer Taryn Lund at this year’s Chicago Build Expo. Lund has built a reputation in the custom residential architecture world, working with clients to bring their ideal dream home to life. Through her years of experience she has developed a variety of “compatibility” tests and activities that she assigns her clients. These help her see projects through her clients’ eyes and assess any potential gaps in feasibility or practicality.
