Meet Isla Porter, the design-forward, AI-powered kitchen cabinetry startup
from Business of Home Podcast · host Business of Home
Emily Arthur and Sharon Dranko became friends while working at West Elm—the two became business partners when they realized there was a hole in the market for a product-focused, design-forward approach to kitchen cabinetry. They launched Isla Porter only last year, but have already made a splash in the industry, collaborating with designers like Monica Stewart of the Misfit House, Anne McDonald, and Jenna Chused.On this episode of the podcast, Arthur and Dranko discuss about why they launched with an AI message but have since dialed it back, the unique story behind the name Isla Porter, and how working together as friends has helped them through the ups and downs of starting a company.This episode is sponsored by LoloiLINKSIsla PorterDennis ScullyBusiness of Home
