Rebecca Robinson
Rebecca Robinson studied fashion design in Atlanta, Georgia and continued
her education in North Carolina at North Carolina Central University where
she majored in Visual Communications. Her background includes fine art, art
history, printmaking, photography, graphic design, marketing, creative writing
and community service. She strongly believed there was a need for more fashion
stimulation and something incredible could be done to contribute to the fashion
world. Rebecca's vision came to fruition by creating unique accessories that
can be 'works of art' as well as functional. Rebecca knew that art could be
taken to a whole new plateau. In the summer of 2000, psnob (pronounced "snob")
was envisioned. psnob is focused on building a company which creates unique,
hand painted accessories that will become collector's items.
Rebecca is always aksed, "Why did you name your company ³psnob²?² A word
that is interpreted as negative. "If you look up the meaning of the word
snob it states, ³ person who dispises people with inferior social position,
wealth, intellect, taste, etc."
"I was fortunate to be raised in a household that consistantly introduced
me to travel, art, food, different cultures and backgrounds. It made me the
person I am today. Ever since I was a child, I always had the personality
that embraced being different as well as embracing the uniqueness in others.
I think being a snob is being proud of your own identity or individuality
and no one should label that as being negative. I am changing the negative
meaning of the word through my art and one day everyone around the world will
embrace being a psnob"
