Suzanne LaGasa is a graphic designer for Dwell Magazine. She lived in apartment blocks in Brasilia, a company-town’s ranch-style home in the Amazon, chilly London flats, and amidst greenery in Washington State, before moving to madcap San Francisco. Suzanne studied international affairs at the University of Washington and graphic design at the California College of the Arts. She believes that good design is inventive and able to improve the quality of life, while remaining socially responsible and aware of environmental impact. In her drafty Mission apartment in San Francisco, she often wishes that smart design could be more easily accessible to all.

Ariana Mouyiaris is a freelance writer and design researcher based in London. She holds a BA in International Relations from Brown University and is studying for an MA in Curating Contemporary Design, with Kingston University and the Design Museum in the UK. Ariana hopes that an increasing awareness of sustainability will create a debate that goes beyond the effect of individual consumer habits to impact global change on a policy, as well as a personal, level. In the meantime, she’s always looking for an excuse to keep her camera snapping and wondering if a bonfire might not be a better bet for conquering her ever-growing recycling heap.
