Oftentimes, the best design bloggers working today don’t come from professional or school backgrounds of design; rather, they are regular people who possess a passion for sharing their favorite finds in the design world. With the case of Anh Minh Le, who runs
anh-minh.com, her background and love of writing helped her create a design blog and a writing career that are followed by thousands of people daily.
Le graduated from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and in 2003 found herself working as a copy writer for several internet businesses. While this day job paid the bills, Le felt like she needed another way to be creative in her life, and so started the Anh Minh website. After leaving the copywriting world behind to move to a job in a financial firm, Le feared she would lose out on her passion of writing, and so began working as a freelance writer, for such reputable outlets as the San Francisco Chronicle and Apartment Therapy: San Francisco.
Le gains much inspiration from her home of San Francisco and writes on many topics important to San Francisco residents, but she manages to cover many issues and ideas that are of interest to residents of any city. Posting topics like great looking interior spaces, favorite interior designers, furniture resources, and more, Anh-Minh.com features the categories: arts and crafts, design, food and drink, friends and family, projects, reading, wearables and more regularly. We love the simple way in which the items and ideas featured on the blog are presented: in a fresh and clean format with minimal graphics and no advertisements to get in the way of viewing the gorgeous photos of favorite things that she posts.
You can learn a lot more about Anh Minh Le on her
website (including what her three favorite movies are) as well as read a
larger sampling of her design articles she’s written. You can even see some of Le’s own craftiness in the form of handmade jewelry on her site and on a site called
Adorna Bella. You’re sure to find some inspiration for your home on
Anh-minh.com!
