Indie Designer Interviews: Disquieting Designs

Filed under: Skin Care, Interviews

disquieting designs massage oil candlesI'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

Today's interview is with Megan, who creates a line of handmade, natural bath and body goods with a rockstar edge. Her company is called Disquieting Designs, and her philosophy is that if you can't pronounce the ingredient, then it shouldn't be on your body. All of her natural body products are certified cruelty-free by PETA, and Megan is also a proud member of the Pittsburgh Craft Mafia.

How did you get started running your own business? I actually started out in jewelry. (Turns out I wasn't too good at it.) I just didn't have a passion for it at all and I knew that I couldn't compete with the level of talent that's already out there...I turned to bath & body because of how much fun I could have playing with scents. It's become an obsession ever since!

Who are your favorite designers? I seriously love Cleo Dee's, My Favorite Mirror, Oh Melisa!, and Dying Breed Designs. I really appreciate people that are not doing something mainstream...they've taken an idea and turned it into something that suits their style, instead of trying to appease the market. And I think that's why they're successful.
