Catching Up With Eco-Designer Timothy Westbrook

For most people, their first exposure to Timothy Westbrook was his short-lived run on the Lifetime TV show Project Runway.  But before that, Westbrook was theartist-in-residence at the Pfister Hotel. 

Since his 15 minutes of national fame, Westbrook has returned to his adopted hometown and goes full speed ahead with collaborations with dance companies; exhibits at the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Charles Allis Museum; and a future fashion show at the "Green Living Festival" at the Mitchell Park Domes.

If that weren’t enough, he’s also training as a figure skater and working on a costume collection for other skaters.

Westbrook recently stopped by Lake Effect to share updates on his future projects and his love for the city that adopted him with open arms:
