WithIt to host Women in Design panel at upcoming Dallas Total Home & Gift Market

HIGH POINT — WithIt, the women’s leadership development network for the home and furnishings industry, will host a panel discussion and boxed lunch at the upcoming Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, Jan 7-13, 2026, in partnership with Coco & Dash.

The panel titled Owning Your Worth: A Powerful Conversation for Women in Design, is sponsored by Hubbardton Forge and will be held on Jan. 9 in the Dallas Market Center’s Textile Salon, IHDC, space 2F215.

“I spent years learning to trust my instincts instead of questioning them,” said Teddie Garrigan, co-founder and creative director of Coco & Dash. “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. Expect a grounded, relatable conversation filled with insight and encouragement.

As a bonus, immediately 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, space 1D106.

Attendees will need to be registered with Dallas Market Center to enter the campus, and guests are asked to RSVP to secure your spot online.
