Hello, my name’s Kevin Derrick and I write a blog called designphiladelphia.
That would be my apartment. As an Interior Designer on a shoestring budget, my home includes everything from the requisite flat-pack Ikeastuff, any number of thrift store finds, some very thoughtful gifts from friends & family and *of course of course* a couple of DIY projects along the way for good measure… (I couldn’t call myself a design devotee without, now could I?)
For the week ahead I’d like to give a nod to Ms. Grace Bonney’s oh-so wonderful feature, the Sneak Peek. Focusing on a small portion of Philadelphia’s creative community, I’ll introduce each designer/artist/writer/etc through both their work and the manner in which they live. My hope is that you’ll connect not only with their furnishings and things (which I must say are often really quite nice) but also with the person as well… Just as nice and and far more interesting, if you ask me.
To Grace: Thank you for the opportunity for show n tell. You’re a stand-up gal and truly a pioneer in the crazy world of design journalism. Many will try but few even come close.
To the Reader: Thank you for watching and please enjoy the show. ;)
