Lola Teigland
Artist and pet lifestlyist Lola Teigland brings her design experience (Nipon & Dior alum) and storytelling skills (pro writer, 10+ years) to the modern dog and the people who love them.
Lola graduated with highest honors from Drexel University. After placing in the The Next Greatest American Designer competition, she scored a position on Seventh Avenue, first designing dresses for Albert Nipon, then sportswear for Christian Dior.
One day Lola wandered into an acting school. They immediately sent her on an audition, and she booked a commercial. NY theatre and a short stint on All My Children followed. After a summer with David Mamet & the Atlantic Theatre Company, Lola started writing and never looked back.
Lola’s writing gained critical acclaim from many prestigious contests, including the Nicholl Fellowship, Project Greenlight, the Austin Film Festival and the Sundance Writer’s Lab. Her published work can be found on Amazon and in several pet magazines.
Lola returned to her fashion roots after adopting her two dogs, combining her unique skillset to dress and write for dogs.
