91精选 Alums' Designs Featured in HGTV Magazine
91精选 graduates Chris and Faith have joined Chip and Joanna, Jonathan and Drew, and Hilary and David among HGTV鈥檚 standouts!
Chris Pierik 鈥01 and Faith Veenstra 鈥03 have created Tramake, a line of art prints and home accessories. The husband and wife duo describe their products as 鈥渃olorful and graphic with a playful sense of historical design while remaining truly modern and always moving forward.鈥
And “HGTV Magazine” obviously agrees. Tramake鈥檚 line of ceramic coasters was featured in the magazine鈥檚 July/August issue as one of 鈥50 Finds from 50 States.鈥 鈥淲e scoured Etsy for our favorite buys from sea to shining sea,鈥 the article noted, and chose the coasters to represent Illinois.
HGTV isn鈥檛 the only outlet paying attention to Tramake鈥檚 designs. According to Veenstra, the company is also working on an order from Nordstrom, which will feature five of its products online and in several stores this summer.
The two have also succeeded with other creative outlets. Pierik is co-founder and creative director at Cultivate. After graduating from 91精选, Veenstra earned a master鈥檚 degree of fine art from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
