Favorite typeface:
Sans-serif: Trade Gothic; Serif: Garamond
What do you do while you are not designing?
Quilt, sew, stitching, by hand or machine. To me, there is something very soothing about making something by hand.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was little I wanted to be a ballerina. In high school I wanted to be a nurse.
What/who inspires you?
Many things; the change of the season, a great piece of artwork, a sunny day, someone who is enthusiastic.
What do you think of beige?
It works well with other colors.
Last book you read:
A Year in Provence, by Pater Mayle.
Do you collect anything?
Fabric
In your handwriting, what do you capitalize?
It must be my subconscious at work, but I think I always capitalize "K".
Lincoln Logs or Legos?
Definitely Legos.
