Inspiration - Walt Disney

What inspires me? One answer would be Walt Disney. My entire life I've been in awe of him. Not just the Disney brand, the theme parks, the movies or the merchandise, but the man himself who took a modest little mouse and created a world of innovative creativity. I can't even remember how many research papers I wrote about him in high school, or how many times I secretly dreamed of being an Imagineer (and not the employees nowadays, the old-time Disney employees that were pivotal in creating the new and state-of-the-art elements in the Disney Parks). It's almost like a part of me has a kindred spirit for the guy and his message. Maybe that's why I teared up the first time I went to Disneyland as an adult and read the sign "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy". (Fun fact, my husband proposed to me that day. He pointed the sign out to me because he knew our lives were about to change forever.) The magic Walt Disney created has played such a joyful role in our lives, and I'd we willing to bet your life as well. :)

What inspires you?

Au Naturel

Fun fact about UNIQLOVE and just how picky I am about quality. When I have a production day, meaning a day when I am actually printing and producing the final products, I go au naturel! No makeup, no nail polish allowed! Nothing ruins a final piece more than a foundation smudge or nail polish scratch. So no "pretty" for me when I'm working, I'll gladly no fugly for the day in the name of my wonderful UNIQLOVE clients. :)
