The Design Milk Team

EDITORIAL

	Caroline Williamson, Editorial Director When 7-year-old Caroline made it her mission to redecorate her room weekly, build endless LEGO villages, and repeatedly paint and reconstruct Barbie’s dream house, she was either obsessive or a young design enthusiast in the making. After getting her BFA in photography from SCAD, she moved to Los Angeles and worked for a glass artist + designer, which gave her insight into all aspects of the design world. When she’s not working or on an airplane, she’s usually searching for vintage wares, doing New York Times crossword puzzles, or reworking playlists on Spotify.
	Kelly Beall, Senior Editor Kelly Beall is senior editor and art director at Design Milk. The Pittsburgh-based graphic designer and writer has had a deep love of art and design for as long as she can remember, and enjoys sharing her finds with others at designcrushblog.com. When undistracted by great art and design, she can be found making a mess in the kitchen, consuming as much information as possible, or on the couch with her five pets.
	Vy Yang, Lifestyle Editor Straying from her degree in business economics, Vy spent a summer in Italy to study art and language, only to embrace her love of design (and newfound love for espressos) when she returned home to California. Her interests revolve around discovering the latest movers and shakers in the community, finding accessible design, and implementing ways to live well and with intention. She’s usually sharing all of the above, plus snippets of life with her husband and two kids, over on @itsafterfive.
	Alexa Morales, Commerce Editor Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Alexa always had a passion for art and design. After graduating with a dual B.A in English and Women’s Studies from the University of Florida, she found her footing in marketing and freelance copywriting across the beauty and arts industries. When she’s not writing about her favorite DM shop picks as commerce editor, she might be buried in a book, binging reality tv or adventuring around her city with her fiancé Alex and retired greyhound, Phoebe.
	Gregory Han, Tech Editor A Los Angeles native, Gregory’s interests fall upon the relationship between design, nature, and technology. His resume includes art director, toy designer, managing editor at Apartment Therapy, and design contributor at the New York Times’ Wirecutter, alongside appearing in other publications as diverse as Tom’s Guide, Vice Munchies, and Metropolis. You can find his most recent efforts as co-author of Creative Spaces, a book dedicated to people, homes and studios to inspire across the United States and beyond.

	Katie Treggiden, Editor at Large As a purpose-driven craft and design writer with almost 20 years’ experience in the creative industries, she also contributes to publications such as Viewpoint, The Guardian, Crafts Magazine, Elle Decoration and Monocle24.

	Kelley Phillips, Systems Analyst Kelley wakes up everyday with the belief that there is nothing that she cannot accomplish.

Kelley brings that can-do mentality to work, striving to make every customer’s experience as effortless as she makes it look. It’s like she always says: “Complacency is the antithesis of growth.”
	Lilit Barseghyan, Social Media Manager Lilit is a city girl at heart. Since moving to Portland from her previous home in San Francisco, she’s made it a point to explore the PNW as much as possible.
