About the Honorees

• Ayse Birsel, BID ’89, practiced Rowena Reed Kostellow’s exercises, making beautiful forms at Pratt. Her product design studio, Olive 1:1, evolved into an innovation studio with her partner Bibi Seck. She now applies her design process to people with Design the Life You Love.
• Bibi Seck earned his MID from ESDI and met Ayse in Paris, where he was Renault’s lead designer. He founded Dakar Next in Senegal to bring good design practices to West Africa and eco-friendly products to the world.
• Joshua Longo, BID ’03, artist, designer, and professor, leads product design for the hardgoods division at Crate&Barrel.

Since 1990, the Rowena Reed Kostellow Endowed Scholarship Fund has awarded thousands of dollars in cash and scholarships encouraging students’ commitment to excellence and beauty.
