LUXE MAGAZINE VIGNETTE PRESENTATION

I was tasked with creating and presenting vignettes chosen by Luxe Magazine. The vignettes would demonstrate the coming trends designers would see at the upcoming Las Vegas Market, Summer 2018. These vignettes included 90s elegance, Floral & Fauna, Mixing Metals, and Wabi-Sabi.

LAGUNA DESIGN CENTER

A small collection of photos from various bi-annual markets held at the Laguna Design Center.
