STYLE: Monika Nessbach, Owner of designbar

Her most recent hospitality project is the new Dilworth Tasting Room in SouthPark, and she’s currently working on several multifamily projects in and around Charlotte. She says one of her dream jobs is a boutique hotel where she’d design each room differently. But for now, she’s thrilled to settle back into her Music Factory office where she maintains a fun, avant-garde company culture. “We’ve adopted this dress code: come dressed in whatever you feel most creative in without offending co-workers or clients,” she says. “Once a week we have pajama day—we can come in pajamas or workout clothes. Owning a business is a lot of work, so you’ve got to have fun.”
