Meet the Blogger: Ask Patrick J. Hamilton Whatever Your Heart Desires (1 of 2)

The DDB's Fall Market 2011 Bloggers Lounge will be your one stop fix for design and lifestyle. Co-sponsored by GoDesignGo and Editor at Large, the lounge will house 15 bloggers who will be camping out in style covering Market events. We're introducing you to the Bloggers Lounge line-up of Bloggers and today we want you to meet Patrick J. Hamilton of AskPatrick and regular contributor to Apartment Therapy.


Patrick J. Hamilton has no shortage of job titles, which include blogger, interior designer, writer, humorist, activist and stylist living specialist in Manhattan. His blog, AskPatrick, focuses on residential makeovers and interior design industry events. The RISD graduate is also a specialist in small-space solutions unique to Manhattan living, but is comfortable working on projects both large and small.


"I love working with a wide range of styles, from contemporary to traditional," said Patrick. "But like MANY Manhattanites, I live daily with the challenge of smaller spaces. I’m a big fan of tailored, timeless pieces in my own home. And I’m a big fan of texture!"


Patrick's signature approach “Invest, Save & Splurge” plays a large roll in all of his interiors and blog discussion and is known for his innovative and fresh perspective to each project.


"I draw from a wide range of inspiration in my work, creating environments that are functional, comfortable and highly expressive of each individual client," Patrick said. "It’s all about the mix and never about the pedigree."


His work has been seen on HGTV in Small Space, Big Style and Rate My Space, HGTV.com, HouseBeautiful.com, TheKitchn.com, Ohdeedoh.com, and ApartmentTherapy. He was also the winner of Apartment Therapy’s first annual Smallest, Coolest Home contest, and the winner of the first Bloomingdale’s Big Window Challenge. He has styled features and photo shoots for Ladies Home Journal, The Alpha Workshops, and Florida Home & Garden. In the past, Patrick has also worked for Design on a Dime, The Alpha Workshops and the New York Designing Men: It Gets Better video.


He is a New York contributor to ApartmentTherapy, where he shoots and writes House Tours, and has also covered the ICFF, interviewed design world luminaries and covered the second season of HGTV’s Design Star. Patrick also recently appeared in It Gets Better: NYC Designing Men, a video for the It Gets Better Project supporting The Trevor Project.
