Juliyen Davis is a Designhead
A design object you can’t stand the sight of? "a refrigerator with a door installed on the wrong side"
Designheads is a profile series featuring members of our community and their relationship to the world of design.
Who is the ultimate designhead if not the staff of Designheads? It’s about time we featured the lovely and talented people that power our publication, and Juliyen, our Managing Editor, is up first.
One thing we love about Juliyen is the fact that his brain is literally an endless well of the strangest and most brilliant ideas you’ve ever heard (a recent story pitch involved distilling the essence of a chair into a drinkable fluid). A designer, Blender aficionado, writer, conversation partner, and much-needed source of tranquility all wrapped into one, we’re lucky to call Juliyen both a designhead and a Designhead.
