Cindy Gonzalez studied acting at NYU's School of the Arts, fully expecting to become a star of stage and screen, but a chance encounter with Photoshop in a film class changed her life. After working as an interactive designer and art director at Warner Brothers Pictures for nearly 10 years, Cindy quit cold turkey to take a sabbatical and tackle several product design projects she'd been noodling around with on weekends.
As a former interactive designer, Cindy tries to incorporate interactivity, whimsy and a sense of play into the products and objects she creates. As much as she enjoyed designing movie websites and games, she loves making things you can touch even more. She's also a big fan of all things modular and customizable and designs with these concepts in mind.
Born in Texas and based in LA for the last 3 years, Cindy spent most of her adult life in New York and misses it every day.
Designers are the backbone of everything we do. After all, it’s the designers who come up with the cutting edge ideas that become reality on StyleFactory. We give our designers the ability to speak directly to the community because we believe in openness and feedback. We also want to help our designers grow their reputation in the market.
Our designers come from a lot of different backgrounds. Some are young designers with only a few products under their belts; others are more experienced and have licensed products to major brands. Some come from the finest American design schools; others from the European tradition of design. But they all have one element in common: passion for modern design.
