HIGH POINT, N.C. — Home furnishings women’s leadership development network WithIt will host a panel discussion for women in design during the upcoming Dallas Market. Titled “Owning Your Worth: A Powerful Conversation for Women in Design,” the discussion will be held 12:30-1:30 p.m. Jan. 9 in Dallas Market Center’s Textile Salon, IHDC, 2F215.
Moderated by Courtney Garrigan, cofounder and president of Coco & Dash, the discussion features Teddie Garrigan, cofounder and creative director of Coco & Dash, and Maria Mullen, CEO of Hubbardton Forge. The panel will explore what it looks like for women to stand confidently in the value they bring.
“I spent years learning to trust my instincts instead of questioning them,” said Garrigan. “Women are often taught to soften their voice or wait for permission. Owning your worth is about honoring what you know, standing confidently in your experience, and allowing yourself to take up the space you’ve earned.”
During the discussion, industry experts will share honest stories from their careers, including the moments that tested them and lessons that shaped them. Together, they’ll explore the difference between knowing your worth and truly owning it in the way you work, lead and make decisions. Attendees can expect a grounded, relatable conversation filled with insight and encouragement.
Following the discussion, attendees are invited to meet a select group of women leaders in the home industry and enjoy light refreshments in the Coco & Dash showroom, IHDC 1D106. Attendees can reserve a spot for the event by visiting withit.org/event/networking-at-dallas-market-2026/.
