name: Matthew Llewellyn
occupation: Director of Visual Merchandising at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
hometown: Pueblo, Colorado
homebase: Manhattan
first job out of college? My first design job was a day freelance at Pentagram for my friend Cheree Berry. The pressure was on and I knew this is what I loved to do. Late nights and then drinks afterwards.
a typical work day for you is... Coffee, meetings, putting out fires, 5pm becoming creative
most creative geniuses are accustomed to having an obsessive quirk, what's yours?
I love post-its. It is how I stay organized, tag swipe and write all my notes. Each project has a post-it. Once you are done you throw it away. It makes you feel like you have accomplished your goal.
what did you wear to work today? Dark denim and a Martin Margiela button down with white sneakers.
if you could describe the beauty industry in one word...
Fast paced (wait that is two words)
who are some of the influencers (fashion, design, beauty) today? I like to look at artists, designers and architects for inspiration: Andy Warhol, Tracey Emin, Jack Pierson, Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela, Herzog and De Meuron
describe your work desk: I like to keep my desk clean. Rolodex, post-its, black pen and a Muji notebook.
three favorite songs in your iPod are....James Blunt: 1973, Missy Elliot: Pass That Dutch and Kanye West: Stronger.
