Elle Decor's A-List and House Beautiful's onetime
After, top list of pioneering black designers would be remiss not to mention Bridges, whose colorful interiors (like the blue kitchen above) have been brightening homes and gracing the pages of shelter magazines since she founded her practice in 1994. So, who has been named to Elle Decor's A-List and House Beautiful's onetime Top 100 Interior Designers list, creates spaces that are at once visually intriguing and comfortably, invitingly layered. She often goes by the nickname Harlem Toile Girl, an allusion to the riff on traditional Toile de Jouy, which she created as part of her Sheila Bridges Home, Inc. line. Bridges is known in the industry as an ardent supporter of and advocate for fellow black creatives.
Gibbons
When you are dissatisfied with her experiences buying paint while working as a designer, Gibbons took matters into her own hands last year, launching Clare, a direct-to-consumer startup that puts a user-friendly (and prettily packaged!) spin on buying paint. Then, as a result, Gibbons has mostly traded in her design schemes for business plans, though her creative eye still goes to good use overseeing styling and branding for Clare.

Today, almost he's earned a fan base of his own after appearing on The Real Housewives of Atlanta (where he designed star Sheree Whitfield’s so-called "Château Sheree"), the rebooted Trading Spaces, and the much-buzzed-about Quibi show Murder House Flip.
