Emily Besa is a writer, stylist, and creative consultant whose focus is storytelling, through asking the right questions, via mediums such as costumes, textiles, and music.

She is interested in identity, from the personal to the creative. She has a background in creative writing and wrote the texts for the photo art book, All The People, which portrays and celebrates unique gender expression and identity.

She worked as a costumer in the TV and film industry in Los Angeles for nearly a decade and still applies the principles of that production work. She believes that collaboration brings about the best results, and every detail should serve the bigger picture.

Six Degrees Berlin is a platform for the independent and innovative designers, makers, and creators active in Berlin and beyond.

The creative process of making things (and making things happen) is highlighted here for the sake of inspiration and connection. Forging something new and sustaining it long-term calls for ingenuity, resilience, courage, and vision—and this platform celebrates these qualities.

The name comes from Frigyes Karinthy’s concept of the six degrees of separation: the idea that we are all connected and separated by only six degrees, five individuals—one of whom we know personally—connect us with everyone and everything in this world. Six Degrees Berlin sets out to connect creatives.
