Juliette Brown Graphic Designer

The designetwork sat down with graphic designer, Juliette Brown, in her home office (IMAGE 1) to learn about what's in her "cube", if and how these artifacts influence her process and her work. Our discussion with Juliette showed us how directly inspiration can come from the items in your cube.

Juliette Brown was an art director and creative director with Gibson Creative and Supon Design Group for years before opening her own studio, Red Letter Partners in 2002. When setting up her workspace at home, she chose a light-filled room that could double as studio and spare bedroom for guests. In so doing, she's created a warm and eclectic space that is filled with objects that she loves and serve as elements of inspiration. Her IKEA desk is nestled among a 1940's antique bed and dresser with the requisite drafting table. Details of each piece are possible influences: the delicate femininity of the curtain's embroidery, the headboard's intricate curved carving, typography on 1940s French posters.
