I’ve always loved colour. I think I inherited my love of colour and design from my mother whose taste in furnishings was very stylish. I was allowed to choose wallpaper for my room when I was a teenager and yes, it was very colourful! I also had a bright yellow desk in my bedroom!

I try to go to the lake frequently and just gather notes or visual data all the time. I talk to everyone who approaches me and says hello or asks what I’m up to, but if I get caught up talking I don’t mind because I know I will be back another day soon.
