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.”

  36. Welche Frau träumt nicht von gutsitzenden Locken? Tipp:
    Waschen Sie Ihre Haare bei einer Dauerwelle nur alle drei bis vier Tage
    und benutzen Sie zwischendrin Trockenshampoo. Dauerwellen eignen sich für Haarlängen von so weit
    wie 30 Zentimeter Länge. Wir erleben viele Klassiker wie den Bob, Pixie-Cut, oder den Prinz-Eisenherz-Schnitt
    in ganz neuen Varianten. Saure Dauerwellen haben einen pH-Wert von 6 bis 6,9.
    Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sich die Haarschuppen nicht mehr als nötig öffnen und das Haar vergleichsweise wenig Schaden nimmt.
    Klar, denn die frizzy Krause wird dabei in eine definierte
    Lockenform gedreht. „Es ist ein toller Look, um ein luftgetrocknetes
    Finish zu erlangen und glattes Haar ohne zusätzliche Einwirkung von Hitze zu
    stylen.
