Rabeika Messina
As a child, Rabeika Messina, the daughter of an architect and a civil engineer, played with rulers, scale models and blueprints. There were no Barbie dolls at the Messina household, where bad décor was considered a blasphemy. As an adult, she fortunately considers bad décor an abomination, but now makes plush dolls and puerile illustrations in order to make up for lost time. A student in NYU’s Magazine Writing graduate program, Messina focuses on the arts and crafts beat.
