The path of patterns
One can be called a designer simply because their overall aesthetic is so finely executed it is often imitated but never truly duplicated. Rewina Beshue exudes a certain swag, whether modeling, drawing or designing. An original San Franciscan, she is rare in a town of transplants, absorbing the layers of creative legacies throughout her young life, and emerging as a designer whose work abstracts and skews perception with radiant, positive energy.
Kristin Farr: Your initials are RGB. Artistic destiny.
Rewina Beshue: My middle name is Giday; it’s my dad’s name. It's a funny coincidence, right?
What are all the creative outlets you’re into?
My favorite creative outlet is making patterns. I like to come home after work, sit at my desk, and make endless amounts of patterns. It helps me organize my thoughts and create the work I do today. I also read that making patterns has brain activity benefits. It exercises the brain!
Another one of my creative outlets is walking around the city with my earphones, listening to music or podcasts. I like to walk around and observe spaces and daily life.
What parts of your younger years influenced the work you make now?
