We chart the course of four prominent designers who’ve made their way to the top.
How does a big career in design take shape? Often, it’s forged with a confluence of critical factors, whether that includes a degree from a top-ranked school, a promising internship with a venerated master, honest advice from experienced mentors, support (financial or otherwise) from family and friends, or pure grit. Innovative designs, blockbuster exhibitions, rewarding collaborations, and, yes, good press make all the difference along the way.
For these five designers—bootstrapping talent Bradley L. Bowers; Dutch heavyweights Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta of Studio Drift; king of collectible design Misha Kahn; and digital-crossover maverick Harry Nuriev—and many more like them, the road to success has been winding. We spoke with them to get an inside look at the make-or-break moments that have defined their careers.
