5 questions for you...
1. What's the best advice you’ve ever given or received?
Be kind. Work hard. Have fun.
2. How would you describe your personal style?
No fuss, comfortable and casual. Feminine with a tomboy edge.
3. What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
Yesterday, my son's pre-K had a "car show" at school...the kids were supposed to design their own vehicles out of a cardboard box. My son made a police car, quite adorably for a 4-year old, by gluing a paper plate inside for a steering wheel, cups for wheels, and polka dots for "sirens." We went to school and the other kids had brought in these INCREDIBLE vehicles, like an actual replica of the Batmobile and a nearly life-size fire engine that the parents clearly labored over, extensively. His car might have been good for a 4-year-old, but paled in comparison to a 40-year-old's! I had to laugh, both at his sad, sweet little cardboard box, and at how NYC parenting can be a blood sport
4. What’s a productivity tip you swear by?
The subway can be a mini office...I write copy for emails, articles, and to-do lists on my phone while I'm on the go.
5. Think of the woman you most admire and name three qualities she exhibits.
Curious, Generous, Funny.
What's in your desk?

AirPods, Muji Pen, Fresh Beauty, Laura Mercier Lipstick
