Gracious, is it press week or what? I’ve had loads of people to thank lately, and today my dear Laure from Apartment Therapy is one of them! I e-met Laure a few months ago when she was kind enough to let me feature her Daily, and now the tables have turned and I’m in the hot seat!

Not only did I open the doors to my home for an AT tour, but I dished to Laure on my messy garage, my upcoming move and the Jetsons.

Lately, I’ve been tossing around a few ideas of ways to give back to you: my readers. I can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve brought me through the months and I hope that I can give each of you just a fraction of that encouragement.

So, in an effort to make Design for Mankind a bit more collaborative and reader-focused, I’d like to present to you: reader profiles. You may not be a fabulous artist or own a studio, but you’re still a part of this community and I’d love to honor that.

All thanks to Jude who gave me the swift kick-in-the-pants to organize this, and who was also the brainchild for reader profiles [thank you, dear!].

We’re starting out with Ambika, a gal who would just LOVE to know how to be a bit more patient… think we can help her out?

Just a note to thank Miranda from Creative Construction for her lovely profile/interview with me. It’s an honor to grace the pages of a truly collaborative blog, where Creative Construction seeks to help you meet your creative goals— daily, weekly and beyond!

You can check it out right here, where I talk about my new hobby, my [lack thereof] PR, and the eZine!

Thanks for having me, Miranda! :)
