AIGA/NY & Spark present: Life After Design
Whether it's cupcakes, ceramics or crafts most designers have an alternate passion. Ever think of following your heart full-time? Meet three former designers who took the plunge and created thriving new businesses:
Erik Goetze - Blue Sky Bakery
Denyse Schmidt - Denyse Schmidt Quilts
A former graphic designer and graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Denyse Schmidt has changed the way we think about quilts. Renowned for her fresh, offbeat approach and bold use of color, Denyse has won acclaim in both the art and crafting worlds. As author, fabric designer and teacher, Denyse continues to inspire with her witty take on tradition!
Denyse's quilts have been sold at Takashimaya, Land of Nod, Neiman Marcus and ABC Carpets to name a few. Her work has been published in hundreds of distinguished magazines and newspapers world wide, including The New York Times Magazine, TIME, and People Magazine. She has appeared on several national television shows, including Martha Stewart Living. Her work has been exhibited around the country.
Randi Bookman Harris
Ever since her first 'photo shoot' of her personal button collection at the ripe old age of five, Randi Bookman Harris has been fascinated with styling. After studying graphic design at the School of Visual Arts and working in the field for a few years, she heeded the siren's call of prop styling and creative direction, despite her love of typography.
Randi talked her way into her first stylist job at Martha Stewart Living, and has since gone on to work with Real Simple, InStyle, Martha Stewart Weddings, kate spade, Jack Spade, JCrew, Chronicle Books, body+soul, Money Magazine, Conde Nast, NYLON, Ogilvy & Mather, Meredith Corporation, Time inc., JDub Records, Michael Graves Design Group among others.
