Imagine a seven year old happily playing dress up with her miniature teddy bears. Then imagine that same little girl using big girl scissors and a sewing machine to create clay pastries and fabric furniture for a teddy bear tea party photoshoot! Looking back, I think that was about the time I heard the calling for a life of crafting and design! Since those fateful single digit years, I earned a degree in Industrial design from Philadelphia University and taught numerous Photoshop classes for National conferences. But to satisfy the crafty girl inside, my sister and I decided to create GersonCurse, the vehicle that would satiate our taste in fun & stylish stuff not found in stores! It paid off, because in 2006, we won the Baltimore City Paper “best designer,” and then I won the American Inhouse Design Award in 2008. Today I’m honored to be at the Summit, spreading the gospel of awesome!

Meet Esti in a workshop at the Summit of Awesome as she guides you through How to Make a Book.
