[CREATIVE PURSUITS]

FIND YOUR

GROOVE

■ (^) WHEN ARE YOU
MOST CREATIVE?
”In the mornings.
I wake up clear, and at
home my environment
is conducive to being
creative. That’s why I
like working from home.
Meditation also helps.”
■ (^) HOW DO YOU
CAPTURE
YOUR IDEAS?
”Sketching is how
I fi rst think through
any design. Then
I like to organize my
ideas using
Pinterest.”
■ (^) HOW DO YOU HELP
YOUR CLIENTS SEE
THEIR CREATIVITY?
”Collect images
you love and put them
together. Even if it
seems random, you
might discover things
about yourself, like that
you gravitate to a
certain color or motif.”
■ (^) WHO IS THE MOST
CREATIVE PERSON
YOU KNOW?
”I’m so inspired by
Linda Fargo, who
designs the windows at
Bergdorf Goodman.
She’s always thinking
outside the box and
anticipating what’s
next, what people
want that they don’t
know they want yet.”
■ (^) WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
”I watch fashion trends
and fi lms for colors,
style, and patterns.” ■
