For all you Hip, Young, Assistants out there...

I ran across this article via a google image search for Ruthie Sommers...

I love hearing who a top designer worked for before they made it big. For example, Schuyler Samperton worked for Michael Smith (I can definitely see the influence).

One reason I love Domino is because they feature the homes of such assistants (Nick Olsen, Krista Ewart, etc.) I belive Mrs. Ewart has even launched her own firm!
