Q Ok, so you, uh, you wisely go to art school, um, and I guess after you graduate, you, you land in the Bay Area, uh, where, where I guess what, you, you open up your own design studio?
A Yes, I had to build it the old-fashioned way, which is reaching out to interior designers, sharing my portfolio, and we met an old friend of my husband's, and she asked how I was doing, and what I did for work, and I told her what I did, and she said, oh, how interesting. I work for Pottery Barn Kids, and I know that they are looking for a decorative painter, and the kismet Moment in that is that these are the days of Pottery Barn kids being kind of the gold standard in baby and kids catalogs, magazines, uh, marketing, brand, etc. In part because they developed this very loose, fun, playful style of decorative painting on walls, and that it was me. It matched my style.
