Rotem Design Studio and Rotem Gear designs have appeared in L.A.'s Happy Six boutique, Gallery Judaica, Fashion Co-op, The L.A. Times, Anew Magazine's "Our Favorite Things" and Metro (NY edition), as well as Finer Living, My Favorite Cup of Tea, and numerous fashion sites and blogs.
"I love the process of creating something that makes me smile, that "speaks" to another person and sometimes also speaks *for* them. T-shirts are, in many ways, personal billboards delivered via some aesthetic and/or fun vehicle-- they say something about the person wearing it. I know it sounds grandiose for a t-shirt. But it's all part of what I enjoy about the creation process, and hopefully what people enjoy about wearing them."
