Missy began her design career as an intern with Joe Duffy Design in Minneapolis in 1992. Two years later, she moved to New
York to help launch Duffy Design's New York branch, working with clients such as the Coca-Cola Company, Smartwool, Hart
Skis and Kellogg's. Her graphic design has been recognized in both regional and international awards publications such as
Graphis, Communication Arts, Type Directors and the American Institute of Graphic Arts.
In 1999, Missy left her position of 7 years at Duffy Design to create a home interiors store, gallery and design studio called
Move Lab in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. With a strong sense of international design and cultural insight, Missy created
a unique retail environment that showcased independent designers, artists and furniture makers from around the world. During
its 5 year run, Move Lab has been recognized in Vogue, New York Magazine, The Village Voice, and the New York Times as a
design hotspot that could best be described as "a Collette for New York's Meatpacking District". During that time, Missy also
taught several graduate design workshops for the School of Visual Arts in New York and has lectured on design, retail and
consumer trends for Li Edelcourt's View Magazine symposium as well as the Color Association of America. Design clients
include Elemental Foods, Thierry W. Despont Architects, Faith Popcorn's Brain Reserve and The Meatpacking District Initiative.
Missy is also the proud designer of a book titled "NEW MATH" written by Craig Damrauer which was just published in
November of 2006.
Move Lab Design Company continues to consult and design for brands such as Harney & Sons Fine Teas and Genevieve
Gorder Design Company where she has partnered up with former Duffy designer, Gorder, working on off-air design projects
including branding, print and product development. Upcoming projects include the design of a line of furniture for the home
which she hopes one day to use in her very own New York apartment. Currently, Missy lives in Chelsea with her dog, Lucy and
spends many weekends doing not much of anything in the picturesque New-England town of West Cornwall, Connecticut.
But that, my friends, is a whole other story...
