Everything I look at I want to photograph and make into a pillow. Ronda J Smith was relaxing with her cat, Keywan, one afternoon, when she decided to take his picture. Inspired by her love of photography and sewing, she decided to print the image on fabric, cut it out and create a pillow. A graduate of the Art Institute, Ronda was born in Detroit, attended college for photography in Florida and ultimately relocated to Brooklyn. Custom pillows, pets, manhole covers and vintage cameras are among the best-selling pillows, though Ronda is often roaming the city in search of new ideas and inspiration.
