Sabrina Moyle & Eunice Moyle
Co-funders at Hello!Lucky, Studio, San Francisco
Hello Eunice, can you give us an introduction on who you are and which path brought you to your current position?
What defines good design for you?
I
think that good design is all in the details - even if the style is
simple and modern, the relationships between type and imagery are
carefully thought through and cleverly layered. Personally, I love
design that is richly layered and I particularly
love things that have a bit of wit about them.
Do you need to be surrounded by design in order to be inspired?
It
certainly helps to be constantly looking around yourself and taking in
influences from all kinds of sources. I'm constantly inspired by
everything from packaging design to fashion and interior design. It's
important to have a finger on the pulse of
what is moving people at the moment. I'm constantly influenced by the
style and trends going on all around me. You definitely get much much
better result when you're not designing in a vacuum. I think I first
started to become a good designer when I learned
to look at, and let myself be influenced by, the work of other artists I
admire!
For how long are you in this studio and is there a story you can share about this place?
We've
been in this current studio on Howard street for about 5 years - it
used to be a button factory! We love it here - it's the perfect size
for us, and the location is amazing (if a little gritty from time to
time!) What object, tool or anything else you absolutely can't work without (except your mac of course :-)) ?
Probably a good pencil (I kind of love plain old Ticonderoga pencils), eraser and a pad of tracing paper.
What do you think makes San Francisco special in comparison to other cities?
It's
my favorite city in the States - I love it because it's got so much
character in it's architecture and it's big but is small enough to not
be overwhelming. It also feels a bit more European - good food, a love
of style, lovely parks, culture - it's
the only place I've ever lived (and I've lived a lot of places!) that
I'm always happy to come home to.
What are your favorite spots in town when you take a day off?
Dolores
Park is always nice on a sunny day or Fort Funston for a big romp with
the dogs and my son, I love Hayes Valley for shopping and having a nice
cup of coffee in the sun. I also am a big fan of just roaming around
Golden Gate Park.
What is your favorite place to eat in San Francisco?
I
love Heirloom - not only is the food good, but the atmosphere is lovely
and you can usually get a table without some insane wait! I also love
getting ramen at Takara in Japantown.
Please, take 3 instant pics of whatever you like:
