[ENLARGE]BEETLE HILLERY[/ENLARGE] GREW UP IN NEW ORLEANS - A CITY THAT HAS AN ENDLESS PARADE OF INSPIRATION FROM ITS ARCHITECTURE TO ITS FLORA AND FAUNA TO ITS HIGHLY EMBELLISHED FESTIVITIES. HER INNATE LOVE FOR ALL THINGS COLORFUL DEVELOPED INTO A JOY FOR CREATING. DELIGHTED BY ALL ASPECTS OF THE CREATIVE COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY, SHE COMMITTED TO AN EDUCATION IN THE ARTS WITH EVERYTHING FROM PERSONAL EXPLORATION AND EXPERIMENTATION TO FORMAL ACADEMIA. WHILE STUDYING GRAPHIC DESIGN AT THE RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN, BEETLE NOTICED A RECURRING THEME IN ALL OF HER PROJECTS: PATTERN. WITH THIS NEW FOCUS, SHE SECURED AN INTERNSHIP AT LILLY PULITZER AND BECAME ENTHRALLED WITH THE EXUBERANT ART AND PATTERN WORK OF SUZIE ZUZEK. AFTER TRAVELING TO THE MAGICAL MECCA THAT IS PALM BEACH, HER ENTHUSIASM WAS OVERFLOWING. SHE EMBARKED ON HER JOURNEY AND LIFELONG DREAM OF MAKING A CAREER OUT OF HER CREATIVE TALENTS AND PASSION.
