“I think over time, I've learned an awful lot about myself, and knowing more about myself has led me to the point of being a [better] participant in the world,” says Rochelle Udell, whose career highlights have included artistic art director of Ms. magazine, art director of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, president and creative director of Calvin Klein's CRK advertising agencies, and editor-in-chief of Self magazine – just to name a few.

About Rochelle:
There’s no Ivy League school on my resume. No money. No drop-dead beauty. No pedigree. I’m not intimidating. But I was born into a family of hardworking people, and I’m a good listener and observer. And in some ways, all the things I’m not gave me the strength and permission to accomplish what I have. To describe how I feel about work, I often quote Kahlil Gibran: “Work is love made visible.” I am married to book designer Doug Turshen and live in Westchester. we have two remarkable children, Doug and Julia, two brilliant daughters-in-law, and one awesome granddaughter—all of whom I love more than work.
