Are you free Sat., May 18, at 5pm? Then stop by Cite for a panel I’m moderating on how design and emotion shape your living space. Speaking will be interior designer Christopher Coleman, Rochester Institute of Technology Associate Professor / Industrial Design Department Chair Josh Owen, and product designers extraordinaire Paul Loebach and Paul Nijhuis/Concept74. There will be a champagne and wine reception afterwards, too, to reward you for those thought-provoking questions you’ll come up with during the Q&A. RSVP is essential. See you there!
How do you lure adults back to the fashion brands of their youth? By dropping some Midcentury design on an ’80s classic. I explain it all in a piece in this month’s Fast Company, where I detail three new Vans shoes that use KnollTextile’s Cross Stitch fabric.
Why, hello there! Thanks for coming to the website. We’re migrating platforms and changing our designs, so I apologize that the full JulieTaraska.com experience isn’t available at the moment. But we’ll be adding material and clips in the coming weeks; stay tuned.
