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 + Art Director 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, Editor + Community Manager After spending a summer in Italy to study art and language, Vy came back to California with a rejuvenated love for design (and a newfound love for espressos). Nowadays she enjoys contributing to Design Milk, playing fetch with her goldendoodle Conan and occasionally writing on her blog It’s After Five, her creative outlet to let loose on when she has left her regular 9-to-5 for the day.
	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. She has written four books, and launched, edited and published an award-winning design blog and an independent print magazine – her latest book is Weaving: Contemporary Makers on the Loom. She has recently completed a Masters in the History of Design at the University of Oxford, graduating with a distinction, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Trustee of the Leach Pottery.
	Dani Howell, Copywriter and Editorial Assistant Born and raised in Ohio—with a few years in Austin, Texas, thrown in—Dani earned her MA in literary and textual studies at Bowling Green State University and has been writing pretty much non-stop ever since. While completing her master’s degree, she worked as an editorial assistant at the Mid-American Review. When she’s not working, chances are high she’s hanging out at a local coffee shop, enjoying a cup of coffee, a pastry, and a really good book.
	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. He lives with his wife Emily and their two cats – Eames and Eero – in Mt. Washington, California, curiously investigating the entomological and mycological.
	Emily Engle, Contributor and DMTV Content Curator Emily is a writer and editor based in Brooklyn with an interest in all areas of design, particularly exploring the design process and finding ways to bring the design community together for IRL and digital events. Previously, Emily worked at Core77 where she led various editorial efforts and organized the Core77 Conference and at HYPEBEAST where she contributed digital articles and print features for HYPEBEAST Magazine. Outside of work, Emily can be found tending to her rapidly expanding collection of houseplants, going on “nature” walks in her neighborhood, creating dessert recipes and trying to learn Japanese.
	Keshia Badalge, Contributor at Large Keshia grew up in Singapore and moved to the U.S. to attend Dartmouth College. When she was living abroad after graduation, a chance enrollment at the Architectural Association Visiting School led to her becoming enamoured with door schedules and architectural écriture. She has previously been on the team at ArchDaily, Dezeen and Asian Geographic and now contributes to various design publications such as Architectural Record and Apartment Therapy. She’s particularly interested in design for aging, rural architecture, and ​Asian design heritage.
	David Behringer, Contributor David Behringer visits over 200 galleries every month to uncover and share the most exciting contemporary art in New York today. Subscribe to his exclusive weekly newsletter at www.thetwopercent.com and learn about his private gallery tours. And be sure to check out his YouTube. He writes the column, Unframed.

When she’s not number crunching, you might also find her trying a new recipe in her kitchen with her poodle by her side to taste test.
	Kate Cain, Merchandise Director After spending a summer in Europe during high school, Kate knew she wanted a career in merchandising. From working in stores as a teenager to graduating with a degree in merchandising and cutting her teeth at major retailers like Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Express, she could never get enough! When she’s not working, you can find Kate on the field watching her kids play their hearts out or on the tennis court trying to beat her husband—which never happens!
	Kelley Phillips, Head of Systems and Operations Kelley wakes up everyday with the belief that there is nothing that she cannot accomplish. It doesn’t matter if it’s waking up to hit the gym at 4am, whipping up baked goods for the office, or raising two headstrong children—she gives it her all. 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.”
