Get to know Principal Rachel Fischbach in this month’s Designer Diaries!
1) What is your favorite BHD project (either that you have worked on or not)?
The Kuki’o Golf Club. First of all Hawaii is one my favorite places. I’ve been lucky enough to work on quite a few projects there. What I loved about working Kuki’o was that design was seamless between the exterior and interior spaces as well as between the interior architecture and the furnishings. From the art to the furniture, to the lighting to accessories everything just felt cohesive.
2) What is your favorite design product?
I love the wallcoverings from Phillip Jeffries. They package their product so beautifully, do wonderful vinyl that doesn’t look like vinyl and have great murals. A great wallcovering really serves as a backdrop to any great design scheme.
3) What (or who) inspired you to be a designer?
My grandmother inspired me to a designer. She was an artist. For those of you that have been to our office, we have two of her pieces hanging in studio. Whenever I visited, I would help her in her studio. She was a printmaker and a painter. She taught me about color, proportion, and layering. She introduced to me to the world of art and design by taking me to museums and the way she talked about the world around her.
4) If you could have dinner with any 3 people dead or alive who would they be?
Jane Austen, Oprah and Amy Schumer.
5) What was your first job?
I worked in the marketing department at the animation studio that produced “The Simpsons”.
6) What are you streaming right now?
The Flight Attendant
7) If you could teleport somewhere right now where would you go?
Paris! I love Paris anytime of the year.
8) Where have you gotten lost on purpose?
Venice, Italy. It is such a fun to place meander without a map.
9) Coffee or Tea? How do you take it?
10) How do you get your news?
