Creative designer Jen White can confidently state that she has never had a conventional job. Influenced by her entrepreneurial family, she always had the instincts and ability to build a successful business of her own. Soon after receiving her undergraduate degree (BFA) in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2001, she started a freelance web design company. The business slowly grew and eventually became a recognized leader in the design community of Boulder, Colorado where she was residing. After moving to Los Angeles, California in 2008, DFM was developed to accommodate the marketing and branding demands of the large local fashion and design industry. Never drawing a boundary between work and leisure, Jen constantly considers her project’s needs and finds inspiration in every situation. As an artist herself, she finds joy in making. Whether it is perfecting homemade marshmallows to crafting shoes, the possibilities are limitless to her. To the right is a small sampling of her personal work. →
Sharon Noh started her artistic endeavors early on as a classical pianist but decided to shift her creative energy to the visual arts and major in printmaking at RISD. Always searching for ways to expand her capacity as an artist, Sharon moved to Rome, Italy where she resided for three years directly after receiving her BFA in 2001. After constant travels within Europe, she enrolled at the French language academy, l'Ecole de l'Alliance francaise, for one year. Influenced by the architecture and forward design of Europe’s everyday life, Sharon decided then to study Industrial Design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. During her graduate studies, Sharon worked her linguistic talents with positions in high-end furniture design showrooms, and eventually became the head of marketing and advertising for a large retail franchise in Chicago, Illinois.
