As Co-Founder, Benedikta von Karaisl is sharing the job of running BurdaStyle with Nora, making sure everything runs smoothly on all fronts.

Nora

Alden
Alden Davis is Marketing Coordinator here at BurdaStyle, but wears many hats. Except for the pattern production, there is nary an aspect of the site she isn’t a part of. A born and raised Brooklynite and total goofball, she sometimes moonlights as a Plus Size model.

Larisa
Larisa Grinblat is our patternmaker and seamstress extraordinaire. With over 15 years experience, she has lots of tricks and know-how up her sleeves. Larisa has always loved working with Burda patterns and is very excited to be part of BurdaStyle’s production team.

Doryon
Doryon Stanfield is BurdaStyle’s Accountant. She assists Nora and Benedikta with all things financial. She loves BurdaStyle’s modern take on pattern design/variation within the community and can’t help but peek over her computer monitor to see what the production team is coming up with next.

Hikaru
Hikaru Furuhashi is BurdaStyle’s graphic design ninja. She helps us visually communicate what we do and what we want to say. When you see tiles on the homepage and flyers at fairs, that’s her work. Hikaru is also an independent designer and creates as WonderWonder.
