Skulls – Kate Bailey

She joined Microsoft shortly after graduating from California College of the Arts, having previously interned at several design firms in San Francisco. Kate comes to work each day to conceptualize and design hardware for Microsoft Surface. When brainstorming and coming up with ideas for her skulls design, Kate drew inspiration from the Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday that is celebrated in Mexico and around the world. Now back in her native Seattle, Kate also runs a small experimental design studio—Free Time— in partnership with architect Amber Murray.
Flowers – Oh Joy!

Year of the Snake – Liu Qing (aka “LEFT”)
We’ve just entered into the Year of the Snake. Only taking place every 12 years, the snake is one of the 12 year cycles of animals in the Chinese zodiac. The snake is regarded as an intelligent and logical animal, also possessing qualities of ambition. The talent behind this one of a kind design is Liu Qing (aka: LEFT) a well-known Shanghai designer who has spent time at several top ad agencies, working with tons of brands and garnering industry awards for her collage, hand-drawn, and graphic styles. LEFT is one of the leading creatives pushing neo-traditional style, a mashup of traditional Chinese elements and modern aesthetics.
