IN THE NEWS: SPRING 2007

The Today Show (NBC) featured Lifetime’s Create n Celebrate Pull Apart Cupcakes  March 16 between 8:00 and 9:00 am.  Giada De Laurentis, host of Food Network's Everyday Italian, told Today Show viewers about the Pull Apart Cupcakes and other products from the Housewares Show.  Congratulations to Karen Sullivan and Brianne Lee (HP class of 2006, now working for Lifetime Brands) for producing an innovative (and fun) product that stood out at the show to make the cut on this national broadcast outlet.  Thank you to Carolyn LeFavour for the inspiration and to the Design Team for bringing the idea to life.  This was truly a collaborative effort on the part of sales, marketing and design.  Click here to see a video clip from Brianne's appearance on the Today Show.

 

 

IN THE NEWS: SPRING 2006 by Jennifer Munich

Class of 2004’s, Lorna O’Regan wrote, “I had an exciting start to 2006.  After a long Christmas vacation in Ireland and Germany with my family I settled into a new job with Starwood Hotels and Resorts as a Designer renovating and building Sheraton Hotels worldwide.  This job is a terrific fit for me and I thoroughly enjoy every minute of my new career!  About 3 weeks ago my boyfriend proposed to me on top of the Empire State building on a beautiful clear night.  It was very romantic and a true New York experience!  We are planning to tie the knot on Sept 9, 2006 in Ireland with our families and friends.  It's a truly very exciting time in my life both personally and professionally.”

I just bumped into Nicole Domingues, class of 2000, at 295 5^th Avenue. She is still working at Aussino as a design director and travels a lot for work. She just got back from China.

Nicole then informed me how Lisa Battaglia Signorile, class of 2000, now works as a design director at Sunham.

I found out that Class of 2005’s Jana Weill is now a marketing assistant at Donghia. She is in great hands there working with Candice Eng, an HP grad as well.

Ariel Saffner, Class of 2005, just landed at Nautica Home doing creative merchandising. Ironically enough I interviewed there a few months ago. I am glad a Home Products student got the job though!
