About the gold edit, AKA Kristen lukiewski
MY STYLE
Calling it a “recipe” sounds super cheesy, but saying my work “comprises” certain elements sounds snotty, so instead let’s say that my aesthetic is not quite simple, not quite extravagant, mostly handmade, definitely detail-oriented, as personal as possible, and completely custom. I can embrace clean lines and white space as soon as I can embrace an explosion of color. I believe form should follow function, and am pro getting rid of extra doodads that just generate waste. I take my work seriously, but I don’t want my work to be too serious. My favorite designs are straight-forward with a surprising little something-something. If that sounds like an approach that’s up your alley, then let’s work together!
my ETHICS
I try to complete projects in a way that reflect my own values. It’s a privileged position, and I’m continuing to educate myself on how I can do better.
The list of things and people I believe warrant special attention and protection is long, but I regularly donate money to people and agencies that do the work to protect the environment, women’s rights, and Black lives.
