Erica  Stine, Red Dot award winning furniture designer, speaks with Courtney  Mackrell about her experiences in industrial and event design and how  they influenced her to pursue furniture with narrative creativity.    Erica utilizes 'her knowledge of design research, service design and  experiential design to create furniture pieces with greater depth and  perspective. Valuing the duality of story and substance in her design  process, her cross pollination of art and design are an inevitable  driving force in the development of each piece. Erica’s work finds a  cohesive tone in the sculptural nature of her design and a common  narrative in her love of allegory. She believes this type of embedded  personal expression creates an enduring, heirloom quality to design.'

We  at A Student's Perspective are thrilled to have Erica join us for this  conversation about being open to taking the chance that might change  your future.
