UpSpring Launches “Play with Matches,” a Podcast Exploring Bold Ideas in Architecture, Design, and the Built Environment

UpSpring, a strategic public relations, marketing, and growth partner for architecture firms, interior design practices, and product manufacturers for the built space, announces the launch of a new podcast: Play with Matches. The podcast features conversations with architects, designers, marketers, and industry visionaries who aren’t afraid to strike a match, challenge conventions, and set the industry ablaze.

“At UpSpring, we’ve spent 17 years helping firms and product brands in the built environment build the kind of authority that gets them specified, selected, and shortlisted,” said Tiffany Rafii (pictured right), CEO at UpSpring and host of the podcast. “Play with Matches is about celebrating the leaders and bold thinking behind that transformation—the creative strategies, the risks that paid off, and the ideas inspiring the next generation of architecture, design, and building product brands to dream bigger.”

Available for streaming, the inaugural seven-episode season will be published weekly, distributed in collaboration with the SURROUND Podcast Network, a leading platform for design-focused storytelling. Season one features a lineup of dynamic leaders from across architecture, interior design, and the building product industry. Guests include:

  • Pallavi Dean, Founder and Creative Director, Roar
  • Bruce Redman Becker, President, Becker + Becker
  • Avi Rajagopal, Editor-in-Chief, Metropolis
  • Adaeze Cadet, Design Principal, HOK Los Angeles
  • Natalie Hartkopf, Co-Founder and CEO, Hightower
  • Kristi Bender & Wendy Schwartz, Co-Founders, Cuff Studio
  • Amie Shao, Principal, MASS Group

Episodes explore topics at the intersection of creativity and business in the built environment—including brand building, thought leadership, media visibility, navigating market shifts, and what it takes for architecture firms, interior designers, and product manufacturers to stand out in an increasingly competitive landscape.
