Where are you from?
The best city on the planet. Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Who do you work for? 
Me!

What are your Current Project(s)? 
I just passed my one year anniversary of being a small business owner, so my current project is me. My business is a reflection of my personal life, so I want my life to be in good working order. I’m trying to get a little more sleep these days  and I’ve been working on my house. I like having a creative space to percolate in that’s not a work.

Who would you love to work with?
A hairdresser in England named Antionette Beenders. She’s completely out of the box.

If you had to give all your sneakers away to charity except for one pair, which ones would you keep? 
I’d give all my sneakers to charity and keep my ostrich boots from Nashville.

What’s on your iPod right now?
My battery ran out, but I’ve been following this very critical election.

What’s your Favorite ATL food?
My twin sister makes cakes, and it’s the best thing I’ve eaten in Atlanta

What’s your Favorite ATL hangout?
Octane. Great people, Great coffee.

What are your Pet Peeves?
Atlanta drivers and social unconsciousness. People who are extremists.

Shout outs?
Gavin, my sweet boyfriend. My twin Amy and her husband and 4 kids. All my amazing clients, thanks for supporting me. And all the coffee shop employees around Atlanta who give me my daily treat.
