Q+A
- You're given an unlimited amount of money and freedom from the law for 24 hours. What do you do?
I'd fly to NYC and hire a stylist to take me shopping! While on the plane there, I'd get online and donate to all the charities I could find.
- What is your favorite part of your job?
I love being creative and presenting clients with ideas/designs better than they had imagined. Their happiness is my drive.
- What's the weirdest thing about you?
I've never eaten a Big Mac. I'd rather just not know how good that heart attack tastes.
- Your house is on fire and you can only grab 3 things. (Your pets, friends and family are safe.) What do you take?
Old family photos, my late grandma's jewelry and my SLR so I could take pictures of the blaze -- I'm a photo nerd like that. I'm glad that Liel, my beta fish, will be safe b/c he probably wouldn't be included in my top three. I'm sorry Liel, but you're mean!
- What would your super power be?
I'd freeze time like Evie on "Out of This World."
- Who would play you in a movie?
If I could choose, Uma Thurman. Realistically, probably Julia Styles or Amy Adams.
- Name one thing that's on your bucket list?
To visit Christmas Island during the red crab migration!
- Where do you go to find peace and quiet?
I take my bike to the Canal Tow Path. Besides the fear of getting a flat and being stranded, it's bliss.
- If you were forced to move to another city, where would you live and why?
Seattle! It's gorgeous, clean, hip and always has fresh seafood. Also, I'd rather deal with rain than snow.
- What would you win an Olympic medal for?
Remember that game your mom used to you make you play... "The Quiet Game?" I'd win a medal for that!
