Creative director and designer
Ilse Crawford is Head of Department of Man and Wellbeing at the Design Academy Eindhoven and author of two books. She has worked across product development and regeneration as Vice President of Donna Karan Home, and as Launch Creative Director of the Swarovski Crystal Palace project, she brought together visionary designers to reinvent the chandelier, showing in Paris, Milan and New York.
Her company Studioilse creates the big idea behind a brand and its emotional values, and then make this visible and tangible through design.

Crawford believes this holistic approach is key to a successful product with a strong USP and longevity, as well as giving greater value in design.
