“Launch’s move to “personally take responsibility for the current unemployment ‘predicament’ and contribute to getting our economy back on track” is commendable, and hopefully garners the necessary success on Kickstarter.”

LAUNCH fixture Jennifer Glickman, Interior Designer at Boston’s own Glickman Design Studio, sat down with us to talk about the excitement of opening one’s first studio, the inspiring people that drive her ambition, and the fear that accompanies greatness.

Glicker (as I, Kristen, affectionately refer to her) is talented, driven, fun and fearless. And did we mention….fiercely fashionable? To meet more people like Ms. Glickman, please visit our Kickstarter page and make a donation today.

LAUNCH | Why It's A Resource For YOU.

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:13:28 -0400

Dearest Fireballs,

Kristen, here. I recently conversed with my good friend Gina Tibbott. Gina is getting her PhD in Philly. She’s smart, hilarious and good at what she does. For the past ten years, Gina has traveled to Pompeii to participate in and lead archaeological digs. She’s an expert in Ceramics and also works as a chemist in a ceramics glaze + supply studio. Girl is busy. And she’s an amazingly entertaining storyteller.

After a great catch up conversation and a lengthy breakdown of the LAUNCH project, Gina gave me a few insights into her perception of our project (The Kickstarter vs. My Breakdown). My takeaway was this:

LAUNCH The docu-series is a resource. Explain more about how great this tool will be and just what interests it can be applied to.

One of our primary reasons for developing this series is to establish a real, unscripted look into the realities of doing what we do, as a means of inspiring and informing. So here’s a list of those who could really benefit from watching (and supporting) LAUNCH:

The Music Industry

If you are interested in learning about artist development, branding, PR, producing music, establishing music contacts, what it takes to be a manager, orchestrating the production of music videos, getting music on itunes and online, setting up performances, and learning more about the legalities, contracts and other music industry mayhem, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU.

Art + Design

If you are curious about those happy people who make money doing what they love, creating art for a living, designing for pay, finding clients, having gallery showings, establishing your online presence, taking the leap into freelance employment and making unique connections that yield creative exposure, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU.

Interior Design + TV

If you are passionate about interior design, setting up your own sexy design studio, establishing connections to local media, networking and using social connections to have fun and talk design 24/7, curious to find opportunities in the most unexpected of places, or simply curious to hear about what it’s like to be featured on a television network, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU.

Film

If you are wondering what goes into documenting a series like this, to include the ups and downs of finding the right teammates, school versus self-education, resources and experts, where to find the right equipment, documenting reality versus shooting music videos, promos and editing, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU.

Fashion + Business

If you are interested in fashion, the arts or business in general, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU. The series will feature not only the day to day realities of what WE do, but will also include a series of interviews with successful and noteworthy individuals. These interviews capture their unique experiences, motivations and backgrounds, while also incorporating each interviewee’s personal advice for going after what you want and making your visions a reality.

Something For Everyone

If you want to see what it looks like to be on your own as a designer, you will see it. Curious to see how one goes about organizing a music festival from the ground, up? You’ll see it. If you want to hear the advice of Grammy nominated producers, you’ll see that too. Wanna know how to design a food truck? We’ll tell you. How do you brand an online company, launch it, and make money from it? We’ll show you. Expand your network. Think differently. Design your own work week. We’ll show you.

Support LAUNCH and you’re supporting yourself. Seriously.

Best,
Kristen
