Jules Sherman, the designer and founder of YP, graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and was the recipient of the Alexander Graham Bell Award for “Design and Invention,” presented by the RISD Industrial Design Department. She has since been designing fashion and home accessories for major retailers and manufacturers, including Limited Brands, Newell-Rubbermaid, Marjorie Baer Accessories, Forms+Surfaces, Cambridge Silversmiths, Restoration Hardware, Char-Broil, Costco, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc.
Inspiration for the line came from a combination of interests in modern materials and a love of illustration, pattern and color. Forthcoming products in the Yosifa•Penina line include additional hair accessories, additional belts, travel accessories, and jewelry.
