ten designers

1. Holly Beck
When looking at Holly Beck's blog I got the feeling that she is just a normal fun person just like us. Her blog was not bragging about all of her designs. She just had information about herself, even her taste in music. I really liked that about her. I also liked her designs. They all used natural colors. Her designs looked so simple and elegant which is something I really like.

2.Thomas Pheasant
Something that really caught my attention while reading about Thomas Pheasant was this quote, "My goal is to unite the timeless principles of classical architectural orders with the pristine spirit of modernism." I really liked this quote which made me respect Pheasant as a designer even more.

3. Madeline Stuart
She is a member of the Los Angeles design community. When reading about her it really focused on integrity and beauty. Her work has been featured in Elle Decor, House and Garden, House Beautiful, Town and Country and In Style. Obviously she has been very succesful.

4. Albert Hadley
Hadley was inducted into the Interior Design hall of Fame in 1986. He is from Tennessee. He has been with his design partner for twenty-five years. He is very well known and successful.

5. Rick Sunberg
Rick Sunberg has designed buildings such as, Whatcom Community College Student Center, Seattle Asian Art Museum and many other buildings. He designs buildings that are used alot therefore he is experienced in things kinds of things.

6. Peter Marino
I really enjoyed Marino's website. I thought it was simple yet different. He designs many different types of buildings like retail, residential, corporate, condos, and others too. A photo that I found interesting in his designs is of a stair case that has a small spiral in the middle, I thought it was a very creative design.

7. Renzo Piano
Piano has some very nice and creative designs. He does not design your average builing or interior instead he designs things like the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Redevelopment of the Genoa Old Harbour.

8. Ron Dayan
Dayan wanted to be an interior designer since he was a small boy. He is from Los Angeles based Piccadilly Designs and has decorated homes all over the United States. He has also been featured in television shows such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and Good Morning America.

9. Philippe Starck
Stark is a French designer of the New Design and is very well known. His designs ranve from contemporary consumer goods to interior design furnishings. He designs goods from toothbrushes to chairs. I liked reading about him because he doesnt design expensive items he designs things like simple household items. It was also interesting that hes uses unusual combinations of materials.

10.Sherill J. Baldwin
Baldwins philosophy of interior design is that aesthetics and design are necessary for enhancing human development and providing a sense of well-being. I liked this because I agreed with her. She is obviously also a very successful and well known designer.
