For nine years the Brooklyn-based artist-designer Malene Barnett has helmed Malene B, an art and design studio from which she produces bespoke textiles and ceramics. Her commercial clients include Marriott, Viacom, Saks, and WeWork. But since November of 2018, Barnett has added another venture to her entrepreneurial pursuits. She's the founder of the Black Artists and Designers Guild (BADG). Interior Design sat down with Barnett to discuss her work.
