Demographics

Age 32, Female, from Greenville, South Carolina, United States, now lives in Lower East Side, New York, New York. Formal education is undergraduate degree, primary design education is school (Pratt Institute).

What’s been the biggest influence on your design career?

I bought an issue of Cabinet Magazine when I was nineteen years old, and it made such a profound impression that I switched my major to Graphic Design and applied for an internship; I've been designing for them ever since.

Demographics

Age 34, Male, from London, England, now lives in Lower East Side, New York, New York. Formal education is graduate degree, primary design education is school (Pratt Institute).

What’s been the biggest influence on your design career?

I was heavily influenced by students I met in school. Talking (and sometimes arguing) about ideas after class, in the studio and at the bar, was how I developed my approach to design.
