A Design High

I've been on a design high lately as some of the projects I've worked on have become reality. That is the biggest difference with real world design and the designing we do in school. Sure in design school you have made up budgets and you can do whatever design style you want but in real life your designs become realized and it is so amazing! 

Back in 2009 I collaborated on a Jamie Drake lighting line that we pitched to Boyd Lighting. We had a bunch of great fixtures and a sleek brochure that captured their attention and they agreed to produce and sell the Topanga Scones I and II. Awesome!! I have yet to see the fixtures in person but even to see the images from my sketches is unreal. The scones were launched at NeoCon this year and have received great feedback!  

Then first project I worked on when I started at Drake Design back in 2008 was this apartment in the Dakota. Remember the crazy installation? And how amazing the shoot turned out? Well after years in the making that incredible apartment now graces the pages of September's Architectural Digest!! There have been projects that I've worked on published in other magazines but this is the big kahuna! I am so proud!!

 Have I ever mentioned that I love my job? :)
