Jude Stewart, Reporter at Fast Company and author of Patternalia.

Jude Stewart is an author and journalist. She writes about design and culture for Slate, Fast Company, Design, AIGA Eye on Design, and Design Observer. She is also a contributing editor at PRINT magazine. I worked with Jude on the release of her newest book, PATTERNALIA: An Unconventional History of Polka Dots, Stripes, Plaid, Camouflage, & Other Graphic Patterns. This book discusses the history and culture of patterns like polka dots, squares, seersucker, gingham and tartan.
