Tulip
I’ve been with Tulip since July 2024. Previously I had been working as a design intern for Augusta Hoffman Studio, when Augusta came to me personally in a team of over 10 interns offering the opportunity to work for tulip on her recommendation. While I had been at AH Studio a significantly shorter time than the other interns at the time, she expressed that I was best suited for a position with more challenging demands.
My Primary responsibilities at Tulip include asset creation, photo editing, website design, and occasional code support. I’m involved from the earliest stages of a collection—starting with swatches and concept discussions—through to the final product.
I render visual mockups to help guide design decisions. Once shades are finalized and photographed, I edit the photos—adjusting lighting, shadows, and color, or even compositing entirely new shades into existing images. I also occasionally assists in resolving website code issues and creating promotional content for Tulip’s social media platforms ……..What was the result of this? xxx likes? xxx sales? xxx business or placement on prominent media channel?
I developed these unique editing skills with Tulip. The process involves analyzing the lighting, shadows, grain, and angles of both source and target images.
I would start by sourcing an image of the shade at a similar angle to the target photo. Often, I had to manually distort the shade image to match the scene. Then, I’d remove the background, erase the existing lighting or shading in the target image, and place the new shade into the scene. The final step involved fine-tuning lighting, shadows, color balance, and grain to match the environment. It was a challenge—but one I grew to really enjoy.
The images on the left show a simple example of this process. The one above demonstrates a more complex result, having to factor it and edit the painting behind the shade in the process.
