Interview With Kate Bezar Creator of Dumbo Feather, Pass it on.


Following my short article of Dumbo Feather, Pass it on, that i’d found at the Design Market
Comes an excerpt from the interview with Kate Bezar via theDesignfiles.net

Well loved Dumbo Feather Library

Well-loved Dumbo feather library

I get the feeling Kate Bezar is a bit of a dynamo.

It’s not just the incredible success she’s had with her stunning independent publication Dumbo feather in a fiercely competitive market….. (a magazine she started single-handedly five years ago and with no journalism experience, mind you). No, mainly, it’s the fact that just a few seconds of googling brings up so many varied accolades and creative collaborations that I begin to wonder if there might be 25 Kate Bezars.

But no, there’s only 1. And she’s here, here, here and even here.

And of course, she’s here! [thedesignfiles.net] Read on for an insight into the inspiring world of ‘editor, publisher & dreamer’, Kate Bezar. Thanks so much for your time Kate!”

Thedesignfiles: “Tell me a little about your background – what did you study and what path led you to what you’re doing now?”

“I’d almost bet I’m the first person with a Chemistry degree to grace your blog!

I think, like a lot of people, I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. So, when I finished school, even though my best marks were in English and Painting, I thought the more sensible thing to do would be to study Commerce and Science. That lead me to a very sensible career as a management consultant working on projects for companies like banks and airlines, both of which I also used a lot; I flew ridiculous amounts and was paid ridiculously well. That was pretty seductive, but on some really fundamental level I knew it wasn’t what I was meant to be doing with my life, it wasn’t what I was passionate about.

I was volunteering at art galleries on weekends just to get my ‘fix’. Eventually I walked into a newsagent one night wanting to buy a mag but just couldn’t find what I wanted. I wanted to read about real people who’d found what they were passionate about in life and how they’d gone about pursuing it. When I walked out of that newsagent and I hadn’t found a mag but I had found what I was going to do. I was going to make a mag for people like me.”

    I have absolutely no knowledge of computer programming however I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyhow, should you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject nevertheless I simply had to ask.
    Thanks a lot! https://xn--0ck2b5d730mpmjc9ck1phpe.gamerch.com/gamerch/external_link/?url=http://familiarspots.com/groups/easy-facial-skin-care-recipes-time-for-some-tlc-2019024907/

  22. All businesses really should have a communication page.
    Websites ranging in space and class at a local restaurant to the
    Fortune 500 company, have contact pages. Within my current startup Possess seen many requests…
    through the pizza delivery guy letting us know he was at the front door to potential investors looking to talk with his management
    team.

    When you are setting encourage contact page (and getting the traffic volume of an local restaurant) you
    possibly will not want to think about how to take care of
    your contact requests when traffic increases. Nevertheless,
    you should.

    Consider establishing automation that alerts support, sales or some other stakeholders as
    part of your company when a message request comes through.
    You could make a dropdown field in an application for types of contact requests.
    You are able to arrange logic in many marketing automation platforms that sends email
    alerts to the correct resource within your startup depending on what sort of request the viewer
    selects.

    I was buried with contact requests after we launched beta.
    As being a cloud-based product I saw many product support requests.

    So we mapped form submissions on our contact page
    to build support tickets in Zendesk.

    You should also arrange redundancies so contact requests (important ones!) don’t get
    lost in one particular recipient’s inbox. You’ll be able to alert multiple recipients, create reminder emails,
    or trigger automatic replies to contact requests with information which
    could solve their problem. This is super easy to put together with all-in-one marketing
    platforms like HubSpot.
