Ich glaube zu Design Milk muss man nicht mehr viel sagen, denn das Blog sollte jedem regelmäßigen Internetnutzer und Designliebhaber bekannt sein. Viel Spass!
Please describe your blog in one sentence:
Design Milk is an online magazine dedicated to modern design.
What is the meaning/thought of the name “Design Milk”?
Believe it or not, you are the first one to ask me this question. Let’s just say that since milk contains vitamin D, drinking milk every day gives you a daily dose of vitamin D, but in this case D stands for “Design.“ Design Milk is your daily dose of Design.
You also started Art Milk and recently Dog Milk – can you tell us a little bit about these projects?
Art Milk is a blog that actually began as the Art category on Design Milk, but it grew rapidly out of the Design Milk mold. We received so many art submissions that we finally decided that Art demanded its very own website. Now, all of the Art category content on Design Milk is more product design focused, which fits in better with the site’s overall theme. Art Milk can now focuses more on modern fine art and illustration on its own site.
Dog Milk is near and dear to my heart. There really aren’t too many modern dog blogs out there, and I wanted to create a site where I could blog solely about modern dog products. Since I have two dogs myself, I struggle with where to find great modern dog products, so it’s kind of like a place where I can bookmark all of my discoveries. And share them with other modern dog lovers, of course.
How many people write articles for Design-, Art- and Dog Milk?
Right now, we have four contributors to Design Milk and two contributors to Art Milk. And me!
Your favourite post on Design Milk and why?
Wow that is a very hard question to answer. I guess all of them, but if I had to choose just one, I think it would be Happy Pills. Not only is this a fantastic and controversial design concept, but it really gets people talking – they either love it or hate it. I really enjoy when people begin thinking and discussing design on my site, whether positive or negative.
What do you do for a living?
I blog!
How is your daily routine?
Crazy! Every day I wake up with a to-do list that feels like a million miles long. Since I do all of my sites’ maintenance, advertising management, designing, Tweeting, and emailing, I have a lot on my plate beyond just writing posts. My intern recently left so I’m on my own again and things are a little busier this time of year because of all of the furniture shows.
I feel very lucky every day when I start my day, though, because I am doing what I love.
Your future plans?
I’ve got my hands very full right now with my websites, so we will see what happens with the Internet. Things change so quickly, and I want to be able to change and grow with them.

Hey cool, Design Milk is great source of inspiration for me, it's great to get a peek behind the curtain. I like the explanation of the name Design Milk.
But is it the same calendar as the one of Wesley Yendrys? I like it, would like to know where it is from.
