How did you get here?
A little bit of hard work.
A little bit of luck.
Demanding to put a name on my cover letter instead of “To whom it may concern.”
And of course, the awesome Joe.
Who/what inspires you?
Nature.
Discovering a new blog I like.
My co-workers/peers.
In terms of people- that is constantly changing.
What do you work on here at Wieden+Kennedy?
I mainly work on EA, and a little bit of Old Spice. I’ve spent a bit of time on The Sims 3 campaign, as well as Dante’s Inferno, and MySims Agents.
Easy question, what do you outside of work?
Sleep.
I enjoy a lot of different random activities… Hiking, camping, sailing, skiing, biking, being a beach bum, playing a terrible game of tennis, eating, drinking, making things– artwork, carpentry, ceramics. You might guess that I don’t get around to a lot of this stuff. So, to be totally accurate, outside of work I eat, drink, and sleep.
What’s a random, fun fact that others would love to hear?
I’m from a mountaintop in the middle of nowhere in Northeast Washington. My parents make their own electricity via solar panels and a generator, and my bathroom was an outhouse until I was 9. If you ever need to catch a salamander, or put chains on your car, I’m your girl.
What do you love to do?
Well, for activities, I think I’ve covered that one above.
I do love to work. It might seem weird, but I love being busy, and I love designing, and so, I love my job.
