Graphic Walls go a long Way
I can't imagine anyone not enjoying the success of someone who “you knew when...” It isn’t as though we have known Given Campbell for years, however, she was one of the first to sign on as a vendor with Blinkdecor. We immediately connected with her boundless creativity and entrepreneurial spirit and were thrilled with the custom graphic design she created for our website's backdrop. All that is ancient history. We followed her as she started with her custom wallpaper company, to her finalist status on the Today’s Show entrepreneurial contest, “Idea Wins,”(for which we feel she was sadly wronged.) Now she has re-launched her website which includes a new line of wallcoverings, as well as offerings from other small artisans.

The new site, Given Campbell, shows her honed skills as a designer. We are particularly impressed with the new collection of graphics and the children’s line. They use a sophisticated color palette but still possess a childlike whimsy. The Bliss Wedding Collection is an innovative way to begin a life together, and slightly more of a commitment than monogrammed towels. As Given is incredibly adept with graphic representations of initials and lettering, she has created wallpaper with a newlywed’s monogram. She did this for blinkdecor.com - see if you can find the hidden BD in our background.

As always, Given offers custom design services. She will conceptualize a design and color match it to the homeowner or designer's exact specifications. Given designed a fabulous custom print, an artistic distortion of bright orange flip-flops, for the pool house of one of blinkdecor’s founders. Her energy, talent, and flexibility to her client's needs have gotten her very far. Just recently, she was awarded Interior Design Magazine’s award for best commercial wallcovering for a design she created for Wolf-Gordon titled, Boxed In. Watch Given Campbell as she is on her way to becoming a leading lady in the design world.
