Interior design royalty, waiters channeling geek-chic and book-smart details—yep, just another successful year  for Legends, La Cienega Design Quarter’s annual spotlight on architecture, home, fashion and art. This year marked the second year TypeA has been invited to attend with our client, Coldwell Banker Previews International—co-sponsors of the 2014 event.  Socializing isn’t exactly our quiet founder’

Someone (who shall remain nameless) recently emailed me an article with this headline: “16 Signs You’re a Little (or a Lot) Type A.” Now, I could have taken this gesture as passive aggressive—or maybe just aggressive—especially since I was right in the midst of perfecting my use of the word “unbeknownst” in a sentence. (Unbeknownst to me, this person just happened to be Googling the term

TypeA works with a lot different companies that contract with third-party vendors to design their websites. Some use large web firms; some use boutique web firms. Some are re-launching existing websites. Some are launching brand-new sites for new divisions or initiatives. Regardless of the circumstances, there is one issue that comes up again and again: Facebook integration. And no, I’m not talking about simply slapp

Sometimes we get so focused on churning out great work that we don’t stop and look at the big picture of what’s happening in our industry. Here’s a peek at the news we’re buzzing about right now… 1.Five Luxury Brands Winning With Content Marketing…don’t you want to know who they are? We sure did. Bergdorf Goodman and Gucci’s latest social media efforts prove that, yes,

Someone once said, “Summertime is always the best of what might be.” Of course, “the best” is relative when it comes to the changing of seasons. After all, not everyone is a fan of flip flops, summer whites and longer, lazier days. (Although they should be!)  For us, we love the promise of sangria Sundays, summer beach concerts and afternoon bike rides for no other reason than it seems more fun in the sum

On May 22, TypeA attended a party at The Beverly Hilton to celebrate two feats of design: the hotel’s redesigned Aqua Star Pool by Estee Stanley and Domaine, the newly unveiled home site from Katherine Power, Hillary Kerr and Mat Sanders.

I recently had the opportunity to attend Legends, an international three-day design event sponsored by Coldwell Banker Previews International®, 1stdibs, One Kings Lane and Dering Hall, among others.

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Northern California and Southern California  joined forces to launch a new California blog this week! Featuring a progressive design paired with a California-focus on everything from life and style to luxury and a splash of real estate (of course), the blog is not only great fun to read–but great fun to write as well! TypeA is proud to be a part of this cool project as a

  Scenes and highlights from the TypeA workshop in March: 1. Being asked to “pitch” for a well-known hotel. (Major TypeA milestone…that’s all we can say!) 2. Susy working like a maniac to complete her blogs waaaay ahead of schedule. (Hey Susy, you’re giving writers a bad name. We’re supposed to be procrastinators!) 3. “You nailed it,” a client said in reference to our w

2013 has been declared the year of the emerald–and we couldn’t be any more mad about it for March! The rich, regal shade of green not only has Pantone‘s blessing, but will also keep us from getting pinched on Sunday. And color us crazy for noticing, but do you find it at all serendipitous that L. Frank Baum’s Emerald City made a comeback this year with Walt Disney Pictures’ “Oz The
