Every single couple we’re going to talk about here can balance their life and love because of their work, creating even stronger bonds between them. The first power design couple is Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller, principals of Carrier and Company Interiors. Mara believes that their knowledge regarding their own personalities and professional skills means that they can trust each other and that immediately reflects on their work together. Jesse says that “What is unique, challenging, and rewarding about life/work relationships is the level of intimacy. While there is little absence to make hearts grow fonder, there is a deep and unbreakable sense of trust in working with a life partner.”

Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson are the founders of Apparatus and they say they are very lucky to run projects together. They say that the main key to balancing their work life and their relationship as a couple is that they are honest. Honest about what they want as individuals and what fulfills them.

Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason are the founders of AphroChic and they agree that they are a powerful couple, in work and in love. Jeanine says that “In our partnership, we don’t make a distinction. There really isn’t a ‘work-life vs. personal life’ dichotomy. It’s all just life.” His partner Bryan states that “There isn’t really much of a line between our work lives and our personal lives. That may not sound like balance, but that ‘balance of no balance is one of my favorite things. We naturally collaborate on everything, which makes it all very easy and a lot of fun.”

Anishka Clarke and Niya Bascom are a strong and powerful couple because they balance each other out. When one is weak, the other is strong, and vice-versa. Anishka says that “It’s really cool to work with someone who you have a lot of respect for, who tends to see things the same way you do and always has your back. But it’s great to take time for self, to rejuvenate individually so that we can build a stronger partnership.”
