Episode 204: Hans Dorsinville

Hans Dorsinville is partner, executive vice president and senior group creative director at Laird + Partners in New York City.

Hans Dorsinville came across my radar when I saw AdWeek’s Creative 100 for 2017. If his name doesn’t sound familiar to you, then you’ve definitely seen his work. I’m talking Donna Karan, Lane Bryant…even Beyoncé. His creativity has been instrumental in some of the world’s top luxury brands in fashion and beauty.

Of course, we had to start off talking about his magnificent body of work! Hans talked about the business side of design and shared how he first got his start as a junior designer fresh out of Parsons School of Design. We also looked back at the booming creative and fashion scene in the 90s, and he shared what he’s learned over the years about making a name for yourself, along with some great advice for designers who want to follow in his footsteps. Hans is all about showing the possibilities available in life, and I’m so glad to have such a talented visionary here on Revision Path. Enjoy!
