Libby Langdon and Donna Barlett
Libby Langdon of Libby Langdon Solutions™ and Donna Barlett, President of ViewIT Technologies Inc., creators of The Board™ Space Planning Systems and 3Dream.net™, recently announced a new business partnership.
By pooling their respective knowledge and expertise, the two parties will provide affordable space-planning solutions for the DIY consumer market.
ViewIT will manufacture the Libby Langdon Solutions™ Quick Planner for small spaces, as well as a larger, expanded version, Libby Langdon Solutions™ Magnetic Furniture Arranger.
Langdon and Barlett met at a WithIt educational event held during a recent edition of the Las Vegas Market. “This partnership is the direct result of my involvement in WithIt,” says Barlett. (WithIt is the women’s leadership network that encourages and develops opportunities for professionals in the home and furnishings industries.) “I’m grateful to Leslie Carothers of The Kaleidoscope Partnership for introducing me to WithIt, and to Sara Lyke, Executive Director of WithIt, who continually encourages members to connect with one another.”
Langdon credits the non-profit organization for its invaluable networking opportunities. “I joined WithIt with the intention of discovering new resources and business opportunities through the networking that is offered by the organization,” Langdon says. “Here’s a perfect example of how WithIt really works: I am partnering with Donna and her company on this exciting new project, and we met as a direct result of a WithIt event! The secret to WithIt is how the group puts its dynamic members together. Instead of waiting for an opportunity, members make opportunities happen!”
