Alexander Isley runs a Connecticut-based design studio bearing his name and specializing in brand development and communication design for organizations involved with culture, fashion, and retail. Isley first gained recognition in the early 1980s as the senior designer at Tibor Kalman’s influential M&Co. He also served as the first full-time art director of Spy magazine.

In Glimmer: Isley explains why the world designers inhabit can be “almost like a secret guild.”
