Dream Job

Upon Graduation, I'm hoping to acquire an internship with David Stark in Brooklyn. Here's a little info about the man behind the company...

"David Stark is a renowned, New York based event producer as well as President and Creative Director of David Stark Design and Production. This full-service event design and planning firm is celebrated for the innovative,
imaginative events it creates for a wide range of high-wattage celebrity clients such as Beyoncé Knowles and Jon Stewart, major corporations such as Target, TBS and Condé Nast, as well as high-visibility fund-raising galas for the nation's most elite not-for-profit organizations including The Museum of Modern Art and The Robin Hood Foundation.'

"CBS' The Early Show, The Today Show, The View and Martha Stewart are several television shows that often call upon David to serve as a guest expert on décor, party planning, holiday decorating and home planting projects. David and his work are often featured in publications including Elle Décor, Glamour, Interior Design, InStyle,House Beautiful, and Town & Country to name a few.'
"David Stark currently resides and works in Brooklyn, NY and received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts."

Here are some of my favorite events of his:



125th Anniversary of the Metropolitan Opera:
"Instead of over-the-top flowers and dripping crystals, fonts were our muse. Exploded, cropped, varied in type and color, the array of graphics not only provided a wonderful walk through the Opera s historic identities in print but it transformed the tent into a three dimensional collage. Elegant banners gently fluttered above vases and luminaries wrapped with glowing prints from every time period. "
