LA IS WHERE IT'S AT: DON'T MISS EDITOR AT LARGE'S LAUNCH SUMMIT AND MY LCDQ LEGENDS 2016 KEYNOTE PANEL

Los Angeles is where the design savvy head the first week of May.  Kicking off a bevy of design events and parties on Tuesday night, LCDQ's Legends 2016 is an ode to all things One of a Kind. This year, you can get a jump start on listening and learning, by joining Editor at Large for their first ever LAUNCH Summit on Monday May 2nd. Called Launch, it features a roster of design experts discussing key areas of design, the "greatest hits," including billing practices, pitching magazines, licensing, branding, marketing, networking and contracts. These are topics I always like to learn more about to stay up to date on best practices. Register here by April 28th as a Stylebeat reader and get $100 off by entering the promo STYLEBEAT1

It's going to be an inspiring day, and then on to LCDQ!

LCDQ LEGENDS 2016: ONE OF A KIND: May 3-5th 

I am so thrilled to return to LCDQ's Legends for my 3rd time as a Social Media Ambassador, and am honored to have been invited to moderate a keynote panel again this year, on a hot topic: Are You Part of The Social Media Establishment, or Are You Too Established for Social Media? It promises to be an engaging conversation with my panelists, Anna Brockway of Chairish, designer and author Justina Blakeny and interior designer Trip Haenish. This esteemed group will be a lot of fun and we will share tips and tricks along with the upside and downside of having an Instagram presence. Join us for a great conversation at 11am on May 4th at Laurel and Wolf, 708 N. Croft Avenue. See you in LA!
