Tess Guinery author of The Apricot Memoirs :

“I love my life and I love what I do. Whether it be branding, styling, digital, print, production or creative direction – the creative process and all its elements fascinate me. I am committed to moving from strength to strength with a sense of honest openness and enough edge to constantly evolve my skills as a designer and creator.” - Tess Guinery

“Women are beginning to speak in so many ways, but one of the most exciting moments for me personally is when they sing in the sound of poetry and creative prose. Tess Guinery’s language and form are reminiscent of R.M. Rilke and Nayyirah Waheed, and she is distinguishing herself through a voice that continuously pours contemplation in an unhurried and hopeful stream. The Apricot Memoirs as a collection is like a psaltry for the dreamer within us, and it’s hard to read these pages without feeling close to the woman herself. Guinery has taken her gaze for design and transformed the seeing eye into the eloquent pen. I’m excited for women everywhere to benefit from a writer who is like the wise older sister we all wished we had. Maybe we still do.” — Teresa Archer, Managing Editor at Darling Magazine
