L'autore:
John David Williams, a native Mississippian with over fifteen years' experience in interior design and event-coordinating, brings an undeniable style to all he does. Whether his elegant classic design in interiors or his over-the-top approach in event lighting and florals it has been noted that “John David's style, though apparent, never compromises the identity of his client.” First recognized throughout the Southeast for his beautiful weddings, John David is sought after for his exceptional eye for fine detail and consults in every aspect of entertaining and design. He is the owner of “Designs by John David Williams” and resides in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Catherine Hansen Strange, who professionally came from a women's fashion background, found herself creating invitations, stationery and packaging design at the request of clients and friends, this making her the third generation of her family involved in creative paper and printing. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Catherine has lived in the Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Northwest, Texas, and Mississippi. She has also spent a great deal of time in Manhattan. It is the exposure to the exceptional hosts in these different regions that Catherine attributes her love for entertaining and capability for mixing styles. Her work has been described as “the unexpected yet always appropriate”. She currently lives in Mississippi with her husband Randall, and their four children.
