The Ignite Series is a monthly interview of an artist, creator, or community organizer whose passion has inspired us. A printed version comes with Keap subscription candles each month.
Brooklyn-based entrepreneur Ellen Van Dusen admittedly didn’t know much about fashion. That didn’t stop her from her designing her own fashion and home goods line, and turning it in the space of just a few years into one of the most loved brands in NYC.
Here, she shares with our founder Harry Doull her surprising and unique path with her company, Dusen Dusen, and gives us a behind-the-scenes of her brightly colored world; from parents to children’s museums, via informercials and accidentally winning a film festival award.
Ellen Van Dusen.
